[visordown.com] - Video why you shouldnt expect the road to be clear

[Ninjette Newsbot]

WAS this near-miss caused by the 'stupid' driver stopped on a blind corner or the 'idiots' who assumed he wouldn't be?

One YouTube user says: 'What was the car driver doing stopping in the middle of the road on a blind corner? Stupid.'

Another says: 'There's a 101 reasons there could be 101 obstacles in the road, just around the next corner. A fallen tree or group of children crossing the road... The question is, can you stop within the distance you can see to be clear? You want the next corner to be free of obstruction or a guy waving a yellow flag to warn you it isn't? Get on the race track.'

A third says: 'I just shat my pants.'
