NIP arrived. 947That's your buttertion, not mine. That's your buttertion, not mine. I think your (and others) view of the meaning of the word "dangerous" is overly restricted. If it only ever applied in...

But the normal usage of a road is to carry traffic. An empty road isn't a normal situation in the UK unless you close it to all other traffic.
NIP arrived. 948So why are you still arguing the same pooe that the road can be dangerous. Good. It doesn't though does...
Clearly if you only consider an empty single carriageway road then the chances of a head on crash remain zero. It is not realistic though!
If I am to make a rational decision about possible routes I need to know about the road *and* the prevailing weather and traffic conditions. And the highway is certainly a factor in other drivers' behaviour.
Some popular twisty N Yorks moorland roads used by bikers are a bad choice on a sunny Sunday afternoon for instance. The police are getting a fed up scraping them up off the road and-or car bonnets.
There is no doubt at all that in the *real* world some roads at certain times are intrinsically more dangerous to drive along than others. In the strange fantasy world occupied by IAM members roads have no other vehicles on them.
The only road that would match your perverse definition of a dangerous road is the Mauna Loa observatory access route along Saddle Road where the air is so rarified in the last 2000' of the ascent to 14000' that anoxia can affect driver judgement and adequate brake cooling cannot be guaranteed on the descent (4WD now mandatory).
