Safety first... essential read

[fazersharp]

IMHO it is also due to attitude. Most drivers approach hazards like junctions, traffic lights, roundabouts etc. with the intention of going. Personally I approach with the expectation of stopping?
The classic rear end shunt at roundabouts is an example of this flaw.

Near me there is a big roundabout that they had put up wooden screens to block your view of the right on approach to the roundabout so you have to pretty much stop. But recently I have noticed that the screens have been taken down, I assume that it was causing more accidents than it was preventing.
