Not really but when you come into Bournemouth there are two 'accident blackspots' on the nice safe dual carriageway. One just as you pass Chase/JP Morgan as you go over a flyover and up the hill, the other area deemed unsafe is about half a mile along.
It must be quite a seriously unsafe area as the cameras tilt so you are never quite sure which camera is takes your side of the road.

If you go all the way to the Frizzel/Liverpool Victoria building there is another danger zone just as go over the hill after the last roundabout.

Also watch the bridges and the road side on the M27 round Southampton, usually somebody waiting for progressive drivers!

One New Years Eve, many moons ago, when I worked for Chase, I drove from the Chase building to London Colney (nr. St.Albans) to get to a party, in 90mins (Renault 5 GT Turbo)

After the A303 turnoff on the M3 (J9?) and it goes down to two lanes, there are often invisible accident blackspots just in front of several of the motorway bridges there...

The road I always keep to 75-80 is the stretch on the M27 just after the Totton Turn off and before the Fordingbridge Exit, there's always an Un-Marked Patroling that section and always see poor buggers pulled

Used to to do most of that route daily. IMHO take it easy from M25 to Bagshot (lots of hiding places that are used daily). Slow down for fleet services (doughnut breaks - chief Wiggum style!). Be careful around Basingstoke too. Pretty much a free run from there!

Always unmarked cars on M3 look out for dark volvos and there are scoobs too, one in red and one in green.
