Travel this road a couple of times a year when I vist from Lincoln. It is shocking to think one of the main routes from England to Scotland is still not dualled in 2012! The journey is fine (apart from roadworks) until you hit Newcastle then it's heavy traffic (to be expected) and afterwards long patches of road where overtaking is impossible or too risky. North of Norfolk the government is not interested. No wonder Scotland wants self rule.
