CrashMAP ; what have you found?
Discussion
Hearing about CrashMAP, a for-profit interactive map of where accidents have happened ( using DfT and Police STATS system) I have found some pretty haunting facts about my former residence's country roads.
Looks innocent? 2 people died at this very corner and many more seriously injured between the periods of 1999-2005. Only beginning since then has the council stopped this black spot, and it is now a much safer route.
Same applies for B574 Orlingbury Rd, where a well publicised (BBC News Archive) fatal accident involving a Peugeot 106 and a 37 year old cyclist occurred in 2003. For the sake of the poor man's family and the driver's I will not name him but the story is easy to find.
On another side of the road, a woman was seriously injured.
The Council has done a good job to effectively stop deaths in this small parish of 900 people due to road accidents to nil.
Now, Little Harrowden was an example. I might sound like the woman from BRAKE but driving through the areas where black flags are littered around, even in Hertfordshire, has made me drive a bit safer.
Keep the hooning safe, guys.

My results are a bit skewed as people seem incapable of driving up a slight incline on a motorway...
Although the incident I've expanded on kingston hill happened here ish
My girlfriend was first on the scene as she went that way to work when we lived in Stokenchurch, car had come down the hill far too fast and flipped (it's a proper 40mph in 3rd on the brakes job going down it), it was wet and they lost it. Driver unconcious. I remember her phoning me to call an ambulance, and having to explain to them where it was (phone signal is s
t down there so she barked at me what happened, and I used the landline to call, they nearly came to the flat based on the location info from the phone call, but I explained the score)
Was about 9 at night, as she worked nights, luckily as a nurse at a care home so sorted them out until the ambulance came, she got to work about 2 hours later after plod and ambulance had been and gone.
This one was also quite comical in the end
On the ring road that I drive down every day, and despite it being a tight roundabout that you really need to be ready to stop at due to crap line of sight, cars seem to embed themselves in this wall
For 2 weeks there was a Jag embedded in the wall to the right of the lamp post, that was fixed eventually (was around crimbo so that may have lengthened the repair.
3 weeks after the wall was fixed someone goes into the wall to the left and into the (kitchen) extension you can see above the wall. The wire fencing from the first crash was still abandoned on the verge so that was put up around it, and one windy day I came home from work to find it all lying in the road, luckily someone else pulled up behind me and we got it moved.
few months after that, on the other side of the road a Berlingo went through the fence and again into some poor buggars
extension
The standard of driving is awful in Thame!

they need to get some amazon ec2 clusters spun up to take the load because first impressions show it as being not worth the money!
It is unfortunately, you can find the statistics on the DfT site anyway and just load it up on excel. The thing they do is plot it.they need to get some amazon ec2 clusters spun up to take the load because first impressions show it as being not worth the money!

Lots of slight accidents, a single fatality (inside the town). The most puzzling is one serious one on a perfectly straight bit of road, ironically outside the police training/Police college centre at Harperley Hall.
Not really, its the only straight piece between Fir Tree and the roundabout. If you're heading southbound on the A68 off the roundabout the 'straight' is just after a curve, by the time someone has performed a slow overtake or has waited too long to get out and past they're approaching the entrance for the Hall.allroad one said:

stopping area for what? why were they stopping?
Would you try and slow down after losing control? Or would you prefer to end up dead?Why are they losing control? Most people dont lose control on most bends - whats different there
