The most accidents take place on the the most hilly bits with roads that are sheep tracks with tar on them.....they aint about to up grade them.
most of the accidents in the highlands take place on the perth to inverness road or the aberdeen to inverness road.
The rest is the weekend born again bikers who loose there brains when they get in a pack......and let loose on the glencoe fortwilliam route passing seven at a time on solid lines blind corners and rises.
Last time one fell off at the right angle corner just at the bridge on the bottom of the applecross pass (Strathmore end)
kind of went straight on

me too - it doesn't allow speeding....

A bit unrealistic test though - I saw all the hazards but if I had to take a computer everywhere with me so that I could click on them all I think it would be more dangerous.

Strange. Doesn't work on my computer at all. I can speed up to 60mph but the car doesn't move. Very unrealistic Unless it's RWD and I'm getting loads of wheel-spin.

Crikey, i need to put my left hand on my right arm and my right hand on my left arm and maybe swap my eyes over. I counted the hazards but missed three clicks despite trying to click them, must be the laptop trackpad, plus trees are also a hazard and the continuous blind summit that i seemed to be driving up so i counted 12 out of 10

Just to add though i think the television advert is very good as it is a realistic situation and very possible

+1

Much better than the usual!

The test is crap though. Dunno whether it was my connection or the site but it was so stop start that I couldn't actually click on anything. The best I managed was 1 out of 10 at 8 mph!!

ETA: and it didn't show me getting rammed by the car behind for driving along a derestricted country road at 8mph!

Who left a bloody dear in the middle of the road? That's just dangerous!

I clicked on all the tree's as i think hitting one of them could be hazardous
