Curves in roads should be wider than the straight road - ideally, at least
Curvy roads seem to invite corner cutting, especially when there are *usually* no consequences. Reminds me of my favorite road, the Blue Ridge Parkway. And, suddenly having to whip to the outside of the curve sets up other potential problems, for which one has probably not put in a lot of practice.
And, since only the front wheels turn, the rear wheels don't follow the same path - they are *already" "cutting the corners" somewhat. Obvious stuff to most of us, but there are enough for whom that it is *not* obvious that that defensive driving thing kinda matters.
Also noted the low sun angle in the video. If you see your shadow well in front of you, what do you reckon oncoming traffic sees? New here but learning that those gates can be hard to spot if the late afternoon sun is in your face, too. Near oopsie.
Getting close to having the various roundabouts figured out, but one situation remains a little fuzzy in my mind. Maybe better placed in another thread. Something tells me that there might be multiple existing threads on that subject. Possibly hours of fun await following a forum "search". :-)
