In light of Aggregate Industries' ludicrous plans for the B3174, this video has been reposted by Ottery Fictional Matters - for those who missed it first time around:
Back in the real world, it's fortunate that no-one was injured on the B3174 in this scene from last year:
Or in this scene from earlier this year:
And because no-one was injured in these accidents, the data does not appear in DCC's injury collision records which are used to assess the suitability or not of the Exeter Road for AI's application for Straitgate Farm. If we exclude the accident that happened only last month, here are some more accidents, over the last year or so, that don't appear in the records either:

#Devon #OtteryStMary #B3174 Exeter Road we have reports of an accident around Birdcage Lane, between the hospital and #A30. [SGr]— BBC Travel SouthWest (@BBCTravelSW) November 4, 2015
Together they add to the evidence that shows how unsuitable the B3174 is for AI's plans; DCC's most recent Road Safety Statistics Year End Report already puts the B3174 Daisymount A30 to Ottery St Mary as one of the worst performing roads in Devon.
