Driverly’s unique Road Risk Map helps to identify the 5 most dangerous sections on Britain’s roads
As part of its unique AI-driven telematics data profiling and risk analysis, Driverly has identified the top 5 most dangerous road sections in Britain based on accident data, traffic volumes and driver behaviour.
Cardiff-based Driverly, provider of a unique, app-based car insurance service, today reveals the results of an intensive study of driving behaviour, accident records and traffic volume data to identify the 5 most dangerous sections on Britain’s roads.
The study found that the most dangerous road section in the UK is the A38 between Birmingham and Derby, with 53 accidents resulting in injuries or fatalities between 2018 and 2020. The second most dangerous road is the A404(M) between High Wycombe and Maidenhead, with 49 accidents in the same period. Other dangerous road sections identified in the study include the A34 in Oxfordshire, the A12 in Essex, and the A27 in East Sussex. This data combines accident numbers per volume of traffic and an analysis of driving data from AI-driven telematics data collected by the company.
The Driverly app monitors and records dozens of different driving criteria for users to build an accurate picture of their driving habits, which can directly benefit them financially in the form of rewards and future discounted premiums. In this instance Driverly was able to overlay that data against other traffic statistics to identify these dangerous roads as part of an exercise to create more accurate driving data for the insurance industry.
The Driverly Insurance app is free to download through the iOS App Store and Google Play for users interested in understanding how improved driving behaviour can reduce premiums and secure additional rewards.
