So there I was, below the speed limit but a little faster than I probably should have been going given that I was totally unfamiliar with the road. Out of nowhere, I came to a 'give way' that was signed (apparently) but was also made completely unreadable due to the bushes and overhanging tree branches.
I'm not sure if my car has ABS but it does have good strong new brakes. An older car could well have simply shot through the junction hurtling into the path of another car. Yes, there's a lot of road in the UK, some of which is infrequently travelled. Nonetheless, is that an excuse? This was a dangerous situation that could have easily been avoided if the council had been doing its job. After all, what do we pay road tax for?
