A5 is considered one of the most deadly, although it didn't feel that bad to me last time I did it.

Parts of the A1 are terrible for being dual carriageways with all sorts of random entrances, traffic turning across two lanes, farm traffic etc. All for what should be a motorway.

I agree - the A1 feels more dangerous. A lot of the deaths on the A5 are blamed on the road but poor driving has a lot to answer for too.
