First one is the Cat & Fiddle. It's a great road but even with average speed cameras on it so many ride beyond their abilities. Second one is a fun road as well, but again the same applies.

I see it so often down that way, people riding beyond their ability & crap car/van drivers who have no abilities either. It often ends up a mess like this.
