Britains most dangerous road
« on: June 30, 2008, 09:56:15 PM »

is it all due to Horse  [whistle]

An eight mile (13km) stretch of road in Cheshire is Britain's most dangerous road, according to a survey.

The Road Safety Foundation pinpointed the single-carriageway A537 between Macclesfield and Buxton, known as the Cat and Fiddle road.

Since 2001, it has seen 43 fatal or serious collisions, nearly three-quarters involving motorcyclists.

not really such a suprise,
many people who live close by either sit in one of two camps
love it or hate it

i love it..what a fab road ,,you do find yourself going faster and faster when you do a few runs on it..keeping a very close eye on the speedo not to go above 50 of course lol

but theres a few people who think that the bends are easier to go round than they are and crash..
even when the place is crawling with cameras and helicopters..

I always try and avoid the popular "biking roads" Usually full of plod and nobbers riding beyond their abilities. There are loads of less busy brilliant roads about if you don't want to follow the heard

....or you could save it for the track, no filth or cars, just nobbers  :lol: seriously though there are good roads out there depending on your mood, never take chances on the road now, just ride to how I feel, much prefer the saftey of a track for hooning though.
