“There is a significant incline on this road (in the direction the lorry was travelling). This makes the visibility issues referred to below much more significant.”

“If there are vehicles in the central carriageway waiting to turn right into both the DNRC and Home Farm, as here, there is a risk of them having an inadequate view of oncoming traffic on the A6006, before making their turning manouevres.”

“The evidence of the Forensic Collision Investigation Unit officer was that [name redacted]'s view would have been largely or completely blocked by vehicles waiting to turn right into DNRC until 2.93 seconds before impact.”

“There is an element of uncertainty at the junction - where both vehicles are turning right - there is no clear indication of who has right of way or how the vehicles should make their manoeuvres.”

“The signs on either side of the junction warn oncoming traffic of the DNRC junction, but not the Home Farm junction. The fact that the Home Farm road is a private road should not reduce the need for adequate safety warnings to drivers.”

“There is a solid double white line on the road just before the turning into Home Farm. This requires a driver turning right to make a sharp-angled turn.”
