Good to see an report that isn't completely anti bike, even the photo shows a car for a change. Its interesting that road design and surfaces are shown as very high contributors to accidents.

Nice quote, not a single referral to speed.

It does look like a good list for the sat nav. Handy for a Sheffield based chap too.
