Police Warn P.E.I. Drivers To Stop Being So Nice After Series Of Accidents

Darpan News Desk IANS, 08 Dec, 2016 12:48 PM
    CHARLOTTETOWN — Police in Prince Edward Island are warning drivers to stop being so nice to each other, after a number of accidents caused by motorists trying to be kind.
     
    Charlottetown Police Chief Paul Smith says there have been at least two accidents on the city's busy University Avenue in the past week caused by one driver stopping and waving another in.
     
    He says a good Samaritan gesture can sometimes have devastating consequences, when you are looking at t-bone accidents.
     
    He says someone trying to be courteous could be tagged by an insurance company as one of the causes of a crash.
     
    University Avenue is one of Charlottetown's busiest four-lane thoroughfares, with businesses lining both sides of the street.
     
    Smith says if someone stops in the inside lane to allow an oncoming car to cross, they may be unaware of potential traffic in the curb lane.
