The UK is not often recognised for its great driving roads, however it still has some amazing roads for a great driving experience that you must know about if you ever come to just wanting a comfortable and relaxing drive across the UK. I will tell you of my top 5 personal favourite roads within the UK so if you ever come between the decision of roads listed you’ll know exactly which road to go on.
#5 Midlands Tick
A 51 mile long road on the outskirts of Nottingham and Leicester this amazing route has different twists and turns along the way as well as long straight roads to enjoy, but beware there are speed cameras. On the route you will also pass some great scenic views and two old RAF bases where if you are lucky you will see some planes gliding above.
#4 Elan Valley
An amazing loop route that goes 360 degrees around the Elan Valley, Common with car clubs for driving it stretches 16 miles long. Whilst on route you will see some fantastic views of mountain ranges and two stunning reservoirs. Some great twisted roads and a few straight roads however there are a lot of hidden speed cameras due to the car clubs using it as a regular route on weekends.
#3 Isle of man TT
A route used and renowned worldwide for motorcycle racing events it spans the length of 40 miles and attracts participants from all over the world. Its a long road that goes across most of the Isle of man so due to this it has some great views and experiences along the way. The route has over 200 different bends and several climbs and descents in altitude.
#2 Pass of Llanberis
A fantastic driving road across the A4086 and A4085 thats a stretch of about 40 miles and covers all types of roads giving you the overall experience. There are tons of twisty roads going past the fantastic views of the several hills and lakes that Wales has to offer, much like the Elan Valley its also used by many car clubs so on weekends it can be a busy route.
#1 Ribblehead Run
A great overall driving road across the Yorkshire Dales spanning around 16 miles long its short but mesmerizing. On route you will pass the Ribblehead train station and it may even be worth bringing a camera for the Ribblehead Viaduct. This route has everything and is a great drive in all seasons from snow on top of the hills in the winter to lambs walking the countryside in the summer.
People who receive 12 points within a 3 year period are usually banned from driving for 6 months as 12 points are the legal maximum amount. The 12 points allow for quite a fair number of minors in several peoples opinions and also in the eyes of the law, newly qualified drivers get less lineance with only being allowed to get 6 points in their first 3 years of driving. Would you worry if you where on the road with people who had totalled up 12 points or more? As they should be banned and with good reason to be.
