Back to newsA dashcam video circulating in Crete shows a driver narrowly avoiding a head-on collision with a truck after an unsafe overtaking attempt on a rural road. The incident, which took place on a two-lane road in Crete, highlights the dangers of overtaking on the island's mountain and coastal routes, where blind corners, narrow lanes, and heavy vehicle traffic are common hazards.
For tourists renting cars or motorcycles in Crete, this serves as a reminder to exercise caution when passing other vehicles. Roads outside major towns often have limited visibility, no central barriers, and are shared with agricultural and delivery trucks. Authorities recommend patience when driving behind slow vehicles and waiting for clearly marked passing zones. Speed limits and road markings should be strictly followed, particularly on routes connecting inland villages to coastal areas.
