I READ with dismay the article on 'Danger Road' -- the A675 Belmont Road. My work friends and I have been driving down this road for the past three years to our place of work in Blackburn. We have never been involved in an accident!
We have, however, seen the results of many accidents along the stretch of road between Belmont Village and the M65 motorway.
I do not consider this road any more hazardous than other moorland roads in this area.
I do see many dangerous drivers using the road like a motorway -- overtaking on blind bends and driving too fast for their own safety and the safety of others.
These are the people who need to be taken to court -- not Blackburn Council.
