    All but one of the top 20 were at or adjacent to junctions, including eight at roundabouts and seven at T or staggered junctions.

    The A761 junction with Arkleston Road in Paisley, which had three collisions over the period, was ranked the most risky.

    That was followed by the A726/Parkway roundabout in Erskine (four) and the A199/B1361/A6094 roundabout in Wallyford (three). Edinburgh had the most locations in the table – at the Drumbrae roundabout on the A8 in Corstorphine (eight collisions), the A7/Craigmillar Castle Road junction beside Edinburgh Royal Infirmary (seven), the A70/Juniper Avenue junction in Juniper Green (three) and the Burdiehouse Road/Straiton Road/Lang Loan roundabout beside the Straiton junction on the city bypass (three).

    Wonderful comments (not!) - despairing that such people can be given a licence to be in charge of such potentially dangerous machinery.

    How typical are comment writers of a. Themselves when not commenting and b. The rest of humanity?

    What is the overlap between the bad drivers and the bad comment writers.?

    How typical are comment writers of a. Themselves when not commenting and b. The rest of humanity?

    IMO?
    a. Slightly exaggerated.
    b. Typical of a significant minority (of vehicle drivers at least).

    What is the overlap between the bad drivers and the bad comment writers.?

    I would think that people who display a gross ignorance of the rules of the road are more likely to be bad drivers although I've been struggling to fully understand/clarify the question in my own head. :)

    @morepathsplease

    Second go at second question - How many of the bad comment makers are also bad drivers? I guess strong correlation
