| 1105347 | 2010-05-31 22:24:00 | Being a Nhapier-ite I have been travelling over that road for longer than I care to remember. It has always had more than its share of idiots driving on it. It was safer when it was all metal road and took a hell of a lot longer to travel to Thaupo. Ken |

What if someone was overtaking a car on the other side and was travelling fast as well. It is more of the 'What if ' |

| 1105349 | 2010-06-01 01:56:00 | Its no real brainer, the road law states Double yellow lines mean no overtaking is permitted in either direction. " End of story. Doesn't matter if the person "thinks" its safe or not, no matter what the road conditions. They are there for a reason. |

| 1105352 | 2010-06-01 04:08:00 | From one photograph you have been able to deduce all this BS. You must be a genius :( :( And no, I'm not defending anyone - just common sense :) |

| 1105354 | 2010-06-01 05:11:00 | Am I the only one who thinks it up to the driver at that point to make a call if it's safe to overtake or not? It's like when people see a sign with a number on it and they think they MUST drive to that speed even if the conditions say otherwise. Or that even 1km over 100 is death waiting to happen. We don't know what speed the truck was going. And if he was overtaking at over 100km/h, and the cop says on the wrong side for 200m logic dictates it would have taken him less than 7.5 seconds to overtake. Since 100km/h is 27.7m/s. I can't see someone pulling out a phone and taking a snap within 7 and a half seconds... So I would venture that the speeds were FAR lower. Edit: It also looks like the driver is signaling left to get back to his lane... Since it seems like he is on his brakes.... As does the truck... good point! |
