Yep. That has nothing whatsoever to do with the road. Nutters are likely to be found at any time, on any road. They are entirely unpredictable and are equally dangerous wherever thay are. The best that you can hope for is that you spot them before it's too late.
NIP arrived. 1010The "danger" is the risk of being harmed. If there is more risk it is more dangerous. Whatever I do, there is...
If it makes you happy. Whether or not it is dangerous is going to be determined more by your own skill, care and effort than anything else. Other road users are going to play a large part but the biggest contibutor to your survival or otherwise on the road is you.
It does because what the circumstances (cause, consequence etc) of "accidents" are almost entirely determined by the driver.
Agreed.
That doesn't mean that the road is dangerous. That means that the other driver is dangerous. Would you say that L3 of a motorway is dangerous because it is impossible for you to avoid the artic that has just jacknifed and crashed through the central barrier? No. It is the fact that there is a lorry crashing through the barrier that is dangerous.
Not necessarily. There are many places that you can drive for long periods without ever seeing another car. Does that mean the road is safe? No. You could still drive inappropriately and crash. Does that mean the road is "dangerous"? No. You could just as easily drive sensibly and survive.
But for the fact that it isn't, I would agreee with you.
