Overtaking while passing the mouth of a junction

This can be absolutely lethal!

The car driver will be more interested with what is coming from his/her right and will start the left turn straight into your path.

Notice that because of obstructions in this example, the motorcyclist is not even visible and, as far as the driver is concerned, all seems
well to proceed.

The only way to avoid this is to get into the habit of looking ahead and expecting to avoid this kind of situation.

When we say "looking ahead" it means really LOOKING AHEAD (as far as the eye can see and
the view will allow)
