UK's 'most dangerous roads in Cambridgeshire'

The study from Cambridgeshire Primary Care Trust (PCT) and Cambridgeshire County Council found that the region sees more highways deaths than any other, according to the Cambridge Evening News.
It maybe that car and bike insurance customers in the area find that the cost of cover goes up, as firms may perceive local roads representative of an increased risk.
PCT director of public health Liz Robin comments that Fenland sees the highest number of deaths in the county, something which may be attributed to the prevalence of rural roads there.
