Top Driving Road in the World
#1 on 2015 Avis Top 25 driving roads in the world.
Fantastic driving in a hot Summer day! This road hugs the river Douro in the Port wine region. Stunning scenery along the river, lined on both sides with hills covered in grapevines and olive trees.
This road has a ratio of 11.3 seconds of straight line driving for every second driving around bends (nearly the perfect 10!)

#3 on 2015 Avis Top 25 driving roads in the world. From Holmes Chapel to Alderley Edge, in Cheshire, UK.
Great driving in a true Summer day (technically still Spring). A great scenery of trees and farms, with the road lined by hedges (as most UK road, but here not too close). Half-way through, the magnificent Lovell Radio-telescope at Jodrell Bank makes a stunning appearance.
This road has a ratio of 8.5 seconds of straight line driving for every second driving around bends.
