Ok.
RIP.

Three being killed at the same time must have been one hell of a crash, a group overtake gone wrong ?

Wrong forum. That is news.

I know both of these roads really well. Like a lot of roads between Leek, Buxton and Matlock, there are lots of motorcyclists about, especially at the weekends. Likewise, there are quite a few weekend drivers about. The vast majority of people using these roads do so safely, but by the same token, there are one or two who take risks. The problem is, these roads are quite unforgiving and, with the volume of traffic, especially at weekends, a mistake can rapidly turn into something quite catastrophic. I have no idea what happened to these poor souls and I am not suggesting for one minute that they may have contributed to the tragic outcomes, but it is a reminder to all of us to be careful out there. Condolences to all of those affected by these horrible incidents.

both my kids work in High peak,
some of the roads are genuinely scary,
firs thing i did was get four good tyres put on each car on the basis that familiarity breeds contempt



ive litterally been the other side of a valley and heard SVR's racing against each other, sounded like thunder how they didnt venture down the valley ill nver know,

even this morning i took her to work and was quite surpsied at the bend i the road with some little bungalows beneath me with no bbarrier
