Cutting Edge: Killer Road, The A46 in Lincolnshire
The A46 in Lincolnshire is known as one of Britain’s most dangerous roads. This uncompromising biography of a ‘killer road’ includes moving interviews with people who have lost loved ones to accidents along the infamous black-spot and examines how a split second decision can change lives forever.

The show wasn’t very good at all. The title of the prgram suggested that it was the road that was the killer, but no, it was actually people. I do feel sorry for the individuals and families who have suffered because of accidents but the whole program being centred around crashes which were faults of people. the program didn’t explain why the A46 was a killer road, it barely mentioned the locations of the accidents!

The beginning title of the program was originally called ‘after the crash’, it was focusing on the feelings of the families involved but was changed to killer road at the request of channel 4….it was summed up at the end by Jonathon who did state that there are no such things as killer roads…just drivers. Above post was posted before end of show so closing comments were not taken into account.

Actually I watched the programme on the monday and posted that comment on the tuesday! Though you are correct in that I didn’t watch the few minutes at the end of the programme as I had better things to do. The programme would have made more sense with it’s original name and had that been the name of the programme my thoughts of it may have been different.
