BBC SW Spotlight have just said that there are thousands of cars stuck
on Haldon Hill, with traffic tailing back to the M5 / A30 Junction.

In the midst of all this, the severe warnings site has this advice:

"The public are advised to take extra care and refer to the Highways
Agency for further advice regarding traffic disruption on motorways
and trunk roads"

Try finding a *single thing* about snow disruption

Are people really stupid? Thr Highways Agency have apologised but I don't
really understand why. It is a notoriously difficult spot and heavy snow was
clearly forecast for there, at least 24 hours ahead. I tend to avoid steep
hills in snow. It's a case of he who dares wins - or in this case loses.
