Default Dangerous Roads

According to the BBC this morning, the new most dangerous UK road is the A682 from the M65, through Gisburn up to Long Preston. I love it, it's fast and flowing but with plenty of solid white lines to avoid. It is a narrow road and used by a lot of HGV's.
Looking at the map, some of you lucky guys'n'gals may decide to use it to get up to Settle from the south. So, be warned, the man from the ministry says you are more likely to have a bump there than anywhere else! Over 100 fatalities in ten years. Welcome to Lancashire...

I've ridden on that road twice now and both times I have had nutters screaming pass me, not surprised to here it's a dangerous road.
