Yes that worried me, the wire is grey against a grey road surface and at just the right height to do serious damage. That's why I put the car across the road to try and stop more risk. If the wire had been damaged and snapped I would not like to experience based on what some people have told me.
To be fair the wire has provided a controlled capture where the artic would probably have hit the steel barrier stuff and tipped over in many cases leading to a bigger mess and more risk. Little or nothing will stop one of those. I wait to see the result of the new concrete barriers they are placing down the centre of the M4 in action. Mind you I would prefer not to actually see it.
