XXX... We must of had the same Instructor???? It was drumbed into me never ever ever land on roads for the same reasons you mentioned!!!!!
Went straight out the window 5 years later after an engine failure in central NSW, I picked a nice big flat field (looked ok from 5000ft) only to change to a road at about 500 due to it being ploughed. Road was gravel, skinny, with lots of camber and I thought f#$k camber as I flared!!!!!!! At the end of the day it really was a no brainer, but it's amasing how hard it is to change your mindset from what you have been taught from day 1.
