No you clearly do not. You have to drive to within 2x the distance you can see to be clear since you could easily be facing some impatient pillock overtaking on the wrong side of the road headed directly towards you at 60+mph. So that when you see each other each travelling at say 60mph you have one clear stopping distance separating two cars closing at 120mph and will therefore collide head on with a relative speed of 85mph (more than enough to be bane).
Only if you can rely on all the other driver(s) coming the other way. Same issue arises with some blind bends where people regularly take the racing line and just pray that nothing is coming the other way.
NIP arrived. 944It takes a human for this to be dangeous as they would need to ignore the sign. If nobody ignores...
Roads have to cope with the full range of abilities of drivers and their mistakes. Dual carriageways are safer because they keep the two directional flows clearly separated (at least when the barrier holds).
It illustrates only that the situation(s) where the road actually triggers an accident are rare, but they are not negligible. Head on crashes are always have extremely bad outcomes.
Get real Mark. Your sophomoric argument to redefine "dangerous" humpty dumpty style is totally unconvincing. The only thing you have convinced me is that the A in IAM stands for Arrogant rather than Advanced.
