Glad your OK Goran. A very unsettling experience. I know as it's happened to me three times, all on the A38. And each time my initial momentary reaction was that I'd somehow mistaken a normal road for a dual carriageway.

The last two times were on the same stretch and within a few months of each other. I put it down to satnav taking people to a junction onto the A38 where it's not obvious that the road they are joining is a dual carriageway.

I wrote to the highways people, explained the issue and the solution (signage) and of course heard nothing back from them, but thankfully there are more signs there now.

One of my colleagues was overtaken on the M6, by a car on the other side of the barrier.
