Back to newsA dashcam video circulating on Greek media shows a large truck overtaking a vehicle by crossing into oncoming traffic on a sharp bend on a Cretan road. The incident highlights a recurring road safety concern on the island, where narrow mountain roads and aggressive driving behavior create hazardous conditions. No injuries were reported in connection with this specific incident. Tourists driving in Crete are advised to exercise caution on winding rural roads, maintain safe following distances, and avoid overtaking on bends. Roads in the island's interior and along coastal cliffs can be narrow with limited visibility. Renting a small vehicle and driving at reduced speeds on mountain routes is strongly recommended, particularly for visitors unfamiliar with local driving habits.
