Forced landing on to a road/highway

Hi all

Was looking at the recent accident in the US where an SEP force landed on to a road and unfortunately killed a motorist in doing so.

Thinking back to my an initial training in the UK, I seem to remember that intentionally putting it down on a road was discouraged. I appreciate that our roads here tend to be a bit windier and congested than some of those empty, straight interstate highways in the US. What is the current thinking on this ? Do you still teach fields rather than roads ? I'd like to hear your opinions.

Thanks
