There is a range of things that can make country roads dangerous around the UK. The speed limit is usually 60mph, meaning that at this speed, road users don’t have as much control on bends and have less time to react to any hazards on the road.
Because of the nature of country roads, it is harder to control hazards such as residue from fields and standing water. As country roads are usually located near farms and fields; they are more likely to have a slippery surface from mud that could have made its way onto the road, during wet weather conditions.

More country road accidents occur at night as it is harder to see other road users, especially smaller ones. Just because the speed limit on a country road is 60mph, it doesn’t mean that vehicles should always drive at that speed. Vehicles should alter their speed appropriately to the weather and road conditions, to be able to have better control of their vehicle if hazards are present.
