Readers took to the JEP website and Facebook to criticise the general standard of driving in the Island and to highlight the most dangerous junctions.
Areas flagged up as accident black spots included Mont Millais, Don Road, Georgetown and Queen’s Road.
Several people claimed to have near had death experiences and a JEP poll revealed that the most frustrating trait among Island drivers was people not using indicators.
