Dangerous Driver Narrowly Avoids Head-On Collision

Surrey, British Columbia Canada is not unlike any of the other Canadian provinces. There are specific rules of the road for those who drive. The general allowable speed on city roads is 50 kilometres per hour (30 mph). If you are driving through school zones then that speed is reduced to 30 kilometres per hour (20mph) for a very good reason. Parks generally have reduced speeds as well and are usually posted and if not, then 40 kilometers per hour (25mph) is the safe speed to follow. Common sense of course is also a big part of taking on the skill of driving a motor vehicle. Of course at times this does not prevail with some, and they choose to drive at excessive speed or make dangerous lane changing decisions while driving within areas of children or people in general. Passing while within congested areas of traffic also can take on some dangerous results. DOUBLE YELLOW parallel lines means NO PASSING AT ANY TIME just as it does in many countries. What you are going to witness in this dash cam video, is a decision by one driver that could have very easily become a very bad outcome for numerous drivers on their way home after a long day of work. Luckily the oncoming driver appeared to be aware of the oncoming vehicle and potential for collision. Good decision making is also a big part of driving a motor vehicle, and in this situation the oncoming driver definitely showed they have quality driving practices.
