A road black spot is a term given to a section of road deemed to be accident prone due its higher than average concentration of road accidents.
- Weather conditions
- Traffic congestion (can make drivers impatient and make risky decisions)
- Pedestrians
- Distractions (mobile phone, children)
- Cyclists
- Road debris (shredded tyres, loads)
Driving is something many of us don’t think too much about as it’s often such a major part of our daily lives. There are many things to watch out for when driving to avoid an unnecessary accident and an appointment with your local tow truck driver!
While roads are obviously built for driving on, constant wear and tear from cars and heavy vehicles eventually damage road surfaces causing dangerous potholes and surface cracks. Most councils will endeavour to get these fixed as soon as possible but in the interim they can cause drivers to swerve dangerously.
