Britain's Most Dangerous Road Revealed As A537

[super jumbe]

Britain's 10 most dangerous roads have been revealed - with the A537 in Cheshire and Derbyshire at the top of the list.

A study by the Road Safety Foundation (RSF) found that while the number of deaths and serious crashes on Britain's roads has fallen in recent years, the A537 between Buxton and Macclesfield has become more dangerous.

Between 2007 and 2011, there were 44 serious or fatal crashes on the seven-mile (12km) stretch of road. Between 2002 and 2006, there were 35.

Several of the other most dangerous roads are in and around the Peak District. All of the roads, which are regarded as the most persistently dangerous over a nine-year period, are in England.

I was on this road last friday! 50MPH road, on the bends your lucky to do 30mph...

Its not the road, the incompetent drivers.. as im not dead.. and my vehicle is in one piece??

Been on this and I have no idea how you're meant to drive at more than 30 MPH safely down this stretch! Then again there are a few roads bear peak district which are so narrow your car can fall off the sides and it's a TWO WAY road!

I would think a lot of the accidents are motorbike related because the road is popular with bikers and there always seems to be loads using it.

'some time ago' i heard on Meat FM there was car crash between two villages, one of the villages has a very nice house in the country, it's a flat smooth road with two bends in it, but some how one car crashed and wrote off the occupants, nothing to hit, just some flowers on stake at the side of the road, and some skid marks, so i guess must have skidded and hit the stake with the flowers on it and game over

On allot of this road is actually higher than the fields.. so i presume when they crash the cars end up doing a dukes of hazard??

So they can drink more and see through those rose tinted specs late ant night, then lose them in the morning for rolling the hippo out of the bed and house of course
