  This incident was horrific and extremely sad and scary for the people involved. I have never witnessed something so awful. Clearly the A1 needs to be a priority to sort out how such a terrible loss of life can happen. My heart goes out to the families and those who also were witness to it.

  Correct I'm if I'm wrong but that section of the A1 is average speed cameras, so we can assume speed wasn't the cause.
  
  Now we all know that the A1 needs widening but until that happens though, maybe a ban on HGVs in the outside lane between the hours of 0800 to 2000.
  
  They can slow the traffic down for miles causing loss of focus and irritability among other drivers. Keep them in one lane and the other lane can at least keep moving at a reasonable speed.
  
  Also, people really need to learn to not sit in the outside lane when they're not overtaking anything.

  Yet another serious accident on the A1 between Stamford and Grantham! It is perfectly obvious to anyone using this road that it is not adequate in its present form for the volume of traffic which includes such a high proportion of HGVs. It needs upgrading and it is difficult to see why this has not been made a priority!
