Two cars crossed lanes while cornering, almost crashed head-on

(Dan Tri) - Taking a high-speed turn and it seems the drivers did not understand each other, driving in the opposite lane, leading to a situation where the two cars almost collided head-on.

The incident occurred on November 8 on National Highway 8A, through Huong Son district, Ha Tinh province.

Accordingly, when approaching the curve, the car with the dash cam drove into the opposite lane and maintained a fairly high speed. Meanwhile, the pickup truck in the opposite lane also drove in a similar manner.

When seeing the white pickup truck, the driver of the car with the dash cam moved to the correct lane, while the other driver seemed to misjudge and also swerved to avoid the vehicle in the same direction, leading to the situation of rushing straight towards the car with the dash cam.

"In this situation, even the white car, a "hard driver", was startled. Because while cornering, suddenly the orange car appeared in front of him, he only had 1-2 seconds to react, so it's completely understandable that he turned the wheel reflexively like that," commented Anh Quang after watching the video shared on social media.

Nick Duc Quan also had a similar comment: "The white car did encroach on the lane, but only half of the car. When we reached the curve, we saw the orange car driving completely into our lane, so we panicked and reflexively swerved to avoid it. The original mistake was the orange car's."

"Both cars were driving in the middle of the road, but they should have followed the rules: overtaking on the left, avoiding on the right. The white car avoiding on the left is too dangerous," commented user Le Minh.

Meanwhile, Hoang Linh's account said that both cars were turning at too high a speed, so they panicked when they encountered the oncoming car; if they had been driving slower, they would not have had such a "dramatic" reaction.

"I often turn wide open like that to have a better view, but I don't move completely into the opposite lane like that. Also, when I see an oncoming vehicle, I immediately move into my lane. In this case, the cam car was driving quite dangerously," said Danh Ngoc.

"The orange car drove as if it wanted to pull over or turn left but forgot to signal, so the other car thought it was doing so and avoided it, not that they were intentionally encroaching on the lane. Seeing that their car was turning the wheel, it proved that they were actively avoiding the orange car. If both of them had actively slowed down when cornering, this situation would not have been dangerous," commented Minh Anh.
