No. The implication is that driver behavior adapts to road conditions, and that slippery curvy roads demand higher attention and care to navigate. In many instances, improved driver attention compensates for the increased risks of dangerous road conditions: more "dangerous" roads may not have proportionally increased accident rates or fatalities.

In the extreme case where a road appears life-threatening, a driver with that knowledge chooses not to drive.

The most dangerous conditions occur if the road appears safe but has unforeseen or transient hazards.
