What paper do your read?
From the 2007 road casualties annual report of the Dpt for transport:
Quote:
| For fatal accidents the most frequently reported contributory factor was loss of control, which was involved in 33 per cent of fatal accidents. |
We can't really make a direct link between "overtaking" and "loss of control" can we?
The few times I have lost control of my car on a public road was due to an excessive speed.
And the many times I lost it on track was for the same reason, plus some knackered tyres, nutters passing me on the apex, etc...
Did I mention my forks as well?
