Has the Cat & Fiddle become more dangerous since they tried to make it safer?

I drove it on Monday afternoon for the 1st time since they put the cameras up. Its completely pointless now as a driving road with the 50mph specs monitored average. I just pottered along as if my car was merely a white good for getting from to A to B, so I guess that's a win for the authorities

Yes but the articles claim that in doing that the road safety stats havent improved so maybe driving a white good makes you concentrate less?
We used to live the other side of Teggs Nose in Langley, and my sister had her first job over in Buxton, as a live in carer in an old age peoples home. She was learning to drive, and her shifts were 6 days on 3 days off, so my mum, would sit in our avenger, and let her drive back in the rain in the dark, with us younger kids in the back (no seat belts in them days), even in the snow, whilst me sister was encourage to rag the arse off the Hillman's lethargic 1.6 8V.
Then Mum would drive us back. My memories of my mother's driving is that in the 70's she had 2 modes of driving. Full on the accelerator, and full on the brakes.
If you want danger, the back roads which take you through Macc Forest, in the dark with my mum, would be more dangerous than the rest of the journey.

Its only dangerous statistically because bikers crash on it. Take them out of the numbers and its a perfectly fine bit of tarmac.
Why not take out everyone who crashes from the numbers, then it'd be the safest road in the world...Or, to put it another way, why on earth would you remove some of the deaths when talking about how dangerous it is?
