    Just been another accident at this corner near Andreas:

    http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=54.3585 ... 18&iwloc=A

    Its a horrible corner as the road is so chewed up you can crawl around the corner (going either direction) and still almost lose traction! Hardly surpising theres usually an accident there in bad weather. Its not a case of potholes, but where the potholes have been fixed and the road is now incredibly uneven. Going over it in my car with stiffer suspension and you're bouncing all over the place, going over it in an old Civic loaned from a garage and traction is almost non-existent!

    Any other roads like this that people care to share? I know the Island seems to have a problem with semi-patched, uneven roads (and I can almost understand it) but it seems they've also tried to fix potholes ASAP, just to say they've done it and not necessarily doing it correctly. Theres another pretty dodgy patch on a blind corner near the one above that have been patched and already opened again. I think there comes a time where patching the road is doing more harm that good.
