When a driver’s vision is obstructed by greenery or houses, or by large vehicles parked on either side of the road, especially at intersection corners, he cannot see oncoming traffic clearly.
To avoid accidents resulting from limited line
of sight, a driver must follow these safety tips:
•Look around
and into the distance before reaching an area with houses, greenery or parked
vehicles.
•Exercise
caution when approaching the area and watch for oncoming traffic from the
opposite road.
•Slow down
and be ready to stop if necessary to avoid hazards due to others’ mistakes. Even if you have the right-of-way,
be careful and ready to yield to the other driver if necessary.
•Check your
rearview and side mirrors for traffic; look over your shoulder for traffic in
