Bedford Driving Lessons

As many as 10% of Britain’s motorways and A-roads present an unacceptably high risk to drivers, a major report revealed today. Half of all crashes occur on just one tenth of Britain’s road network, the report from the Road Safety Foundation found. Most of the higher-risk roads are in north west England, Yorkshire and the Humber and the East Midlands, while Scotland has the highest risk rating of all the regions. The West Midlands is the safest region, while the most persistently dangerous road is the A537 between Macclesfield in Cheshire and Buxton in Derbyshire. The report, which covers 28,000 miles of roads, also found that one third of all fatal and serious crashes occur at junctions and that single carriageways offer six times the risk of danger to motorists than motorways and twice that of dual carriageways. Also drivers were seven times more at risk on major roads than on minor ones. More
