If you can't read the junction and the traffic, and blindly assume the best it is *your* problem. |

In a situation like this where both parties have contributed to the problem there's a tendency to apportion more blame to the road user who changed direction without warning. |

If the one overtaking was the one taking the driving test, it would also be a fail. Proper observation includes noticing the proximity of junctions.

In a situation like this where both parties have contributed to the problem there's a tendency to apportion more blame to the road user who changed direction without warning. Primary blame is about insurance compensation or decisions in a law court. That is only one part of it. Allowing yourself to get caught up in a situation that is easy to predict and easy to avoid is another. Best to avoid the morgue/ hospital bed/ insurance claims/ courts where possible. If all road users took the attitude that it is ok to blunder on because another is not following the rules the roads would be complete mayhem. Be careful about what you wish for. |
