Default Why is there always an accident at Clacket Lane on M25?

On the radio yet again this morning - an accident at Clacket Lane
services.
Is there something particularly bad about the way the exits roads to this
service station have been designed? I've driven that part of the M25 more
times
than is probably good for me but I haven't noticed anything unusual that
would give rise to so many accidents but clearly something is confusing
some
motorists. Does anyone have any ideas?

Is it just because you know the name well, that whenever anything happens,
it stands out? "Accident near/between Junction X/Y" isn't so memorable. Are
there any stats available to us South London morons which would support your
supposition. I believe that area is subject to more fog than some so that
may be a factor (although presumably not in this case). The other
alternative is that people are so keen to get away from Clackets Lane, they
don't look where they are going!
