Speeding along the Evesham bypass Don't worry, we'll soon catch up with the police car again due to the traffic ahead.  The driving style undoubtedly had nothing to link it with a 2pm shift change at Worcester HQ.

A44 at the turning for Lenchwick A typical section of modern English bypass.  Long, smooth curves encourage a higher road speed, but make overtaking difficult due to restricted forward vision. Why not do the job properly and build a dual carriageway?
