This is why we shouldn't overtake at junctions.

This isn't a reason not to overtake at junctions. This is a reason not to overtake cars that are going way too slowly for the conditions.

Don't overtake at junction if the car can possibly make the corner, of course. But slow cars are more dangerous than junctions, chances are they're looking for parking, going to make a u-turn, who knows what.

Whichever way you cut it overtaking at a junction is still thick.

Car turns into it unexpectedly = dead

Car pulls out of junction = dead

Just wait until you're past it. Laughing

Yup.

Unmarked side roads like that are the worst, especially when you don't know the roads. Half the time you don't even realise they're there until you go by.

Slow moving car - Probably gonna' do something unexpected. Good advice. Thumbs Up
