Yes, there has been an entire report on the 10 most dangerous roads in Britain. So, <\/i>Book Theory Test Today <\/i><\/b>thought we should tell you about them…<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When researching for our blogs, Book Theory Test Today<\/b> comes across some very interesting information. This time around we discovered Britain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 10 most dangerous roads in 2014. We were attracted to this report because it involved the word danger, but more importantly, to make you aware of these roads if you use them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, preparing for your driving theory test <\/b>and taking your driving lessons does tell you a lot about roads, but unfortunately it does not tell you which of them are most dangerous. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Book Theory Test Today<\/b> blogger says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153To be honest, all roads are dangerous; we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re taught that at school. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just that some are more dangerous than others, often highlighted by the number of deaths or accidents that have occurred on that road.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, I guess you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re itching to know which roads make up the infamous list. Keep your pants on… here they are:<\/span><\/p>\n

Top of the Pile <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

At the summit of the list is the A285 between Chichester and Petworth, any learners or newly qualified drivers, pay attention. According to the Road Safety Foundation (RSF), fatal and serious collisions occurring on this 12-mile stretch of highway, have increased by 16 per cent across a five year period spanning 2007 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n

This makes it the UK\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s most notoriously dangerous road. In a statement from the RSF charity, they said: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153More is required in terms of Local Government intervention if this situation on the A285 is going to change anytime soon.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Second Place<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The Book Theory Test Today<\/b> blogger says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Moving out of England, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re heading into Scotland to the A809. This 10-mile stretch of highway in Glasgow ranks as the second worst road for fatal and serious collisions in Britain.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

Third Place Finisher<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re staying in Scotland, heading over to the A937 in Montrose, Angus. This eight-mile section of highway claims its spot as the third worst road in the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n
