Silver Imprezza H## MYU nearly causing head on collision on Snake Pass.

An standard Impreza Turbo is NOT a VERY quick car and to overtake your mate in his accord up a hill you'll need a lot of power not to mention the space to do it.

So when a car comes round the corner I don't want to see you overtaking just before the corner, because that was ****ing close!!! especially as just seconds before you'd just followed him two straight sections.

Overtake when you can see it's clear.

a standard imprezy turbo may not be VERY quick, but is however quick and i'm sure is much quicker than an accord. but to overtake before a bend is not too clever unless you can see round corners! just want to make the point that it is still a quick car! when it bloody starts!

Lot of (innocent) people killed on Snake Pass, for one reason or another, mainly head ons I'm afraid ................. quite a few bikers too!

Errr, lack of details people.....who is to say the other chap wasn't driving an Accord Type-R? Not so much difference there between the two cars on rolling speed/acceleration

It only takes a second to make a risky/wrong decision and end up wiping out some innocent people
