Now, unless I am missing something, a road is simply a long piece of tarmac, or in some cases concrete. It does nothing more than lie there.
It doesn't leap up and hit you in the face, it doesn't move just when you travel over it, it doesn't try to talk to you, hurl abuse at you or distract you by asking you questions.
A road is not safe or unsafe. People are either driving safely or not. Instead of talking about 'dangerous' roads like somehow the road itself is to blame for the morons who decide to travel along it at 100mph, the focus should be on drivers who do not drive appropriately for weather conditions, or road surfaces, or corners and who cause accidents, harming themselves or others.
Or are you going to tell me about the time the A6 rose up under your wheels and threw you into a field?
