Accident abbeydale rd

[lucyalys]

The picture shows roughly where I was under taken and the car in front overtaken on the wrong side of the road. I was not on the dual carriageway by Millhouses I was much further back near town. Here there are two lanes but not enough room in the middle of the day for two lanes and traffic to move freely due to parked cars. I was simply saying what my experience was and that yes I can drive on a road and understand the rules of a dual carriageway. As this isn't a dual carriageway I was highlighting how dangerous some drivers are.

 

Please reread, there were two cars but not both were undertaken.

There are very many accidents on this road - it appears excessive speed is the cause of most of them.

 

The reason for most of them is 'Karachi Driving Practices'. I used to work and drive overseas (including Karachi) and picked up a lot of bad driving practices.

Would I be wrong to suggest you were both in the wrong lane then?

 

Yes. You would.

[MobileB]

The reason for most of them is 'Karachi Driving Practices'. I used to work and drive overseas (including Karachi) and picked up a lot of bad driving practices.

 

I worked in Karachi for about a year, and to be honest I didn't find it a problem. Drivers wanted to come out at a junction, or merge etc but always did it politely (a thumb and two finger gesture - a bit like holding a pen). Although, for much of the time the traffic was too congested to allow silly high speed manoeuvres in town.

 

However, the road towards Hyderabad was another matter entirely. Being forced onto the sandy, rough, "hard shoulder" by 3 HGVs, side by side, coming the other way and taking up the whole carriageway certainly concentrates the mind. (ie one HGV overtaking another, and the third HGV simultaneously overtaking both).

What she actually said was:

 

 

 

Where in that does it state Wolseley Road or a bus lane? Which is why I asked my original question. Now that is clarified, I understand. However, I will still hold that if there was enough space for two travelling cars to be undertaken then they were potentially in the wrong lane.

 

You are right. Fair point, I stand corrected! I made the assumption it would have been the town end of Abbeydale Road.
