There is a short road and a roundabout locally where there are regular accidents, - I must be the only person I know who has not had an accident around there, as I am a perfect driver, although i see at least one in my rear view mirror every time I pass that way.

Shorly there has to be a point because of the number of accidents one has to look at the road layout and that the design is at fault?

I would imagine if they are minor accidents (no calls to the police) then the true dangers there never get known to those who could try to do something about it? You could yourself inform the highways agency or council, they might take a look then.

They'll be the ones that have dived into the ditch to avoid you.

I was wondering generally rather than just this road, but here it is

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Warrington/@53...

Nost of the accidents seem to occure on Brick Lane approaching the roundabout, but some occure on the roundabout, going off the roundabout onto Manchester Rd or onto Brick Lane.

But there are many such roads, there are also bridges that get struck regulary by HGVs and so on.
