I appologise, it seams i misread your post, i thought you were saying his responce was at the scene. as for my comment on the driving, if the gentleman needed to brake hard, swerve or otherwise panicked, regardless of the bend in the road, he was driving without due care and attention. the only exception i can see to this is if the car infront suddenly braked hard to a stop, in which case he was driving too close, and was still driving without due care. as for what he was supposed to do, may i suggest he slowed down, to a stop if neccesary, indicated his intention to overtake, then passed this obstruction when it was safe to do so. i ask you this: what if that parked car had been a child, paralised by the thought of an oncoming vehicle traveling at speed round a bend? would your opinion still be the same? the whole top and bottom of this is, the gentleman was going too fast round a bend and did not leave enough time to anticipate the obstruction. had he been going slower he would have seen the obstruction in plenty of time to slow down further and navagate safely around it. as many driving instructors now teach, you should never drive at a speed faster than the stopping distance you can clearly see ahead, if you cannot see round a bend, slow down to a speed at which you can safely stop should you need to. there is no instance where you should need to swerve to avoid a stationary object in the road ahead. or are you now going to add this happened right in front of him and he had no choice but to swerve? I still think its a nice photo tho...
