This isn't a dangerous stretch of road according to Highways/West Berks...sorry to hear about yet another casualty.

Why are these central barriers so inadequate they can't hold back a small car like this? On many stretches of A roads & M/Ways they now seem to use steel cords, which presumably bounces you back rather than collapsing?
