I knew the Cat & Fiddle Road in Derbyshire was dangerous, but I hadn't realised it had made it into the world's worst ten roads. Bit of a surprise as its the way I always travel when visiting Buxton and have been on the road in all kinds of weather, although you do have to take care when heading down into Buxton or Macclesfield from the road. What's your view on this list, are there any roads you think have been left out that should have been included, or have you personal experiences that you'd like to share of driving on these roads?
I live in Macclesfield and quite often travel on the Cat and Fiddle road when going east or coming back. It is quite a bad road with lots of sharp bends and can often be blocked in the winter months with snow.
It used to be and may still be the case that lots of bikers went over that way at weekends but I'm not sure how many of the accidents and fatilities were from this group.
More recently average speed cameras have been installed at the start and end and so this has helped to keep the speed down a bit. I did read in the local paper some time back that oil had been deliberately put onto the road. This would seem to be some sort of vendetta.
