Drivers must exercise caution when overtaking. It is crucial to observe the surroundings and only proceed in designated, safe overtaking zones. Should a driver notice any unusual behavior from the vehicle ahead, a warning horn should be sounded.
Conversely, car drivers must always remain observant and focused on all road signals. When intending to change direction, it is imperative to check mirrors, activate turn signals, and wait until the path is clear before steering.
In a separate incident on 21/10 in Chieng Di, a car flipped multiple times after swerving sharply towards the shoulder on a bend. This occurred when the driver reacted to an oncoming truck encroaching on their lane. Video: Contributor
