I was generalising, I suspect that there are much worse roads but the
Pacific hiway is umung the top few.



Heaps. The Pac. Hwy. does have a comparatively high fatality rate, given
the amount of traffic (especially heavy vehicle traffic.) I didn't fully
appreciate why until I tackled it in a nighttime rainstorm a few years
ago.


Yes, but its hardly the Bagdhad to Basra highway in terms of its fatality
rate. I really wouldn't consider risk of death as one of the reasons for
selecting or not selecting the Pacific Highway.



Yeah, I haven't seen too many rocket launchers on the Pacific Highway.
Hence, "comparatively" high fatality rate.....
