    Scary roads

    Spaghetti Junction in Birmingham has topped a survey of Britain's scariest road systems. The poll for breakdown firm, Britannia Rescue, placed the M8 junctions through Glasgow in second with London's Marble Arch taking third spot.
    Between them, Birmingham, London and Glasgow took eight of the top 10 spots.
    The survey of 3,225 drivers found that as many as 8% avoided "scary" junctions altogether and drove an average of 238 miles extra each year on detours.
    The poll also showed that 2% of motorists are so nervous they avoid making right turns at all costs, while 14% do not go near urban areas.
    UK's 10 scariest junctions
    Gravelly Hill (Spaghetti Junction), Birmingham
    M8 junctions through central Glasgow
    Marble Arch, London
    Magic Roundabout, Swindon, Wiltshire
    Hanger Lane Gyratory, west London
    M5/M6 intersection, Birmingham
    Piccadilly Circus, London
    Five Ways junction, Birmingham
    Magic Roundabout, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire
    Kingston Bridge, Glasgow






    Large roundabouts were considered to present the most confusing aspect of urban driving, followed by one-way systems, speed bumps, cameras and box junctions.
    Some 21% of drivers said they were more concerned about breaking down at an intersection than at any other point.
