If Googled you will find out that Route 417 is highly recommended as a road to AVIOD due to this steep, unstable and un-even terrain and a lack of safety. A lot of hire car providers also state that they do not cover for damages that may be caused by driving on this route.
An article written by a visiter to Iceland on TravelAddicts.net said this about Route 417. 'I made a really, really bad decision. I noticed on the map a Route 417 “shortcut.” The first part of the road (Route 407) was fine as it climbed its way up towards a ski resort, which was closed since were there in the summer. However, as Route 417 cut off to the right, the road became extremely rough. It was hitting large rocks and felt like I was dragging the bottom of the car along the road. This was a bad, bad move. The only redeeming feature of Route 417 is just as it approaches Route 41 near Hafnarfjordur. For about a mile, there are hundreds of wooden structures with fish drying in the sun on them. Yes, it smelled terrible, but was a very traditional Icelandic thing to see.'
