The A342 goes down Caen Hill does it? I don't think so!

I think most of us know where Caen Hill is situated. Good to know that the cyclist got away with his life. Even as I slowed down (as per police signs - not to gawp) while passing the scene, some motorists were overtaking me at 70+mph. Why bother when you get stuck behind a tanker or cement lorry at the end of the dual carriageway ?
