Causes Of Accidents On Curved Roads
Automobile accidents fill a casualty list prompting study of driver habits. A common cause is passing on curves when a slow vehicle blocks the road. Irritated drivers drift left to overtake and risk a head on collision with oncoming speeds. Delaying a pass until the road is clear reduces court, hospital, and cemetery risks.
