Road traffic

Passing oncoming vehicles on a narrow road

When two vehicles cannot pass at once, the side of an obstruction, who arrived first or which vehicle was travelling downhill on a steep road may be decisive.

What to check in your case

If there was a heavy vehicle, vehicle combination or need to reverse, note dimensions, distance to a passing place and priority signs.

Documents for your defence
