A poll of 4,000 motorists has revealed that the A12 (from Great Yarmouth to London) is the worst road in the UK. According to those surveyed the road is littered with potholes and is frequently closed due to ongoing botch repairs. The second worst road was the M8 between Glasgow and Edinburgh followed by the A30 in Cornwall. 85 per cent of motorists said they wished the Government would spend more on the upkeep of our roads.


They obviously haven't tried riding the B3034 out of Binfield towards Warfield. It's like riding across the moon :oops:

I seem to remember that the B2160 through Paddock Wood was just as bad.

What's the road that shakes your teeth loose?

Any road in Wiltshire

The fosseway north of Burford is pretty poor.

I don't think the A12 is a bad road from Ipswich - M25, but then I'm used to the congested a A14 and not the nice motorways we drive on to visit relatives in Kent.

Or, "Lets build the roundabout up nice and high so no one can seen what's screaming round it at 40 mph (blagrove)

The A20 from Dover.

Why? cos it's the first fast english road you get to from the ferry after gliding through france and it suddenly feels like your bouncing down the road in noddys frickin clown car.
