With the plethora of chicanes they have put in on the road, I hate to think how many accidents there would be. It's dodgy, even with the current traffic levels.



The idea is that you slow down to negotiate the chicanes, giving way when required, not treat them as an exercise in car control at speed.

Absolutely.... The chicanes are pretty effective at controlling speeds when there's a reasonable amount of opposing flow, so if there was to be a 'new junction' and more traffic used that route as a result it would probably be safer than when there is very little coming the other way... because then some drivers just treat them as if they were having a race experience at Silverstone....
