One of them has blind bends. These blind bends mean that when there is oncoming traffic, overtaking drivers cannot always see oncoming traffic ahead. The other road is a straight line stretch of single carriageway 'A' road and because the limit is only 60mph (and some drivers observe the limit) it means that drivers who want to drive faster need to overtake, sometimes they are forced to do so quite dangerously.

If you had to work 18 hours a day down pit, you'd drink too. |
