It's counterintuitive, but broad and straight roads are often more dangerous, as they invite faster driving.

Faster *inattentive* driving.

I'm always kind of surprised how terrified Americans visiting the UK are, when they see the kind of speeds people drive at here.

If you're coming here on holiday from the US and you're planning your route using Google Maps, double the time estimate. You won't like the speeds it expects you to drive at.
