Back to newsA video circulating online shows a large truck making a dangerous and illegal overtaking maneuver on a sharp bend on a Cretan road. The incident highlights a recurring road safety concern on the island, where narrow, winding mountain and coastal roads are frequently shared by heavy vehicles and tourist traffic. Visitors driving in Crete are advised to exercise caution on curved sections of road, maintain safe following distances, and avoid overtaking on bends. Rural roads in particular can be unpredictable, with trucks, buses, and agricultural vehicles appearing suddenly around corners. Always drive defensively, keep speeds appropriate for road conditions, and be aware that local driving habits may differ significantly from those in other European countries.
