Roads don't cause crashes- Drivers do!

Susan, I think you meant to say "mad" but regardless, you are right.....

the south road from Cairns to Cardwell is bloody horrible.....even the stretch from Gordonvale to Innisfail is frightening....... I avoid it at all costs.

Everyone is in such a huge rush as if their life depended on getting there or somewhere in 10 minutes flat.

I think you'd have to agree that at least 90% of all "accidents" are entirely preventable.
