High Risk road - SV650.org

Scotland's most dangerous road is on the outskirts of Glasgow, a survey of fatal crashes and accidents has shown.

The A726, connecting to J3 of the M77, near the city's southside and Paisley, has the worst accident record in the country. The stretch of road is only four miles long but had 37 serious or fatal collisions between 2000 and 2005.

Researchers found that the second most dangerous road in Scotland was the A85 between Perth and Crianlarich which saw 114 deaths or serious injuries over its 54 miles, between 2000 and 2005.

I really do not understand why so many people have issues with the perth - crainlarich road. You'd have to be either short sighted or just a plain speed demon to make a mistake on it, it's a great twisty road for just coasting along going side to side good for learning how to control the sv's 'smoothness' the only thing i dont like is the dodgy tarmac on some of the corners.
