    I am a little shocked the yorkshire tt didnt make the list.

    I dont like roads being classes as dangerous though, roads only become dangerous when the motorists using them exceed a suitable speed for the road conditions, (weather, traffic, blind corners ect) and on certain roads this happens more than others

    Interesting that they mention the A303 as 'notorious' but don't expand on it. I've always thought of it as a relatively good all round ride, even from a safety point of view, as, despite it's length, it has pretty good sight lines all the way to that London. The tarmac's getting pretty shitty, but where isn't at the moment.

    I regularly ride the no. 1 road - Cat & Fiddle from Macclesfield to Buxton. Don't see as many accidents up there as there used to be since they installed 50mph average speed cameras. Plus it would be interested to learn how many of these accidents have been caused by sheep on the roads. Everytime I go up there there is at least 1 or 2 wandering around the road. Scares the bejesus out of you when you go around a blind bend to find a sheep staring at you!
