    Looks to me like a change over to different country road rules from keep left to keep right,maybe a border area.

    Camera car stars on the RIGHT hand side of the road, then the road markings tell him to go over to the LEFT hand side of the road. Once he is around the corner, then he has to drive back over to the RIGHT hand side of the road. Whoever thought up that set of road markings needs his arsehole reamed out with fence post.

    The changing from right hand to left hand and back again, seems to be a great idea to begin a passive population control. they could always bury the survivors. on the opposite side of the road LOL

    Been thinking about why anybody would do such a thing as to confuse the road users, the only thing I can think of is that far too many cars have gone straight ahead instead of turning left at that corner. If that is the case then, for making cars to swap over to the other side of the road and make it a bit more difficult to drive straight ahead and down the hillside and maybe kill yourself. Recon it would of been far easier to build a bloody strong wall around that bend to stop the cars running of the road, eh. :-)

    I’m glad I don’t live in your country Frank. In the rest of the world we don’t bury the survivors although I agree it would help with population control. We check out our survivors and send them home. We only bury the dead ones.

    HAHAHA I thought someone would catch that. it is actually a parity of an old rambling joke that seemingly went on forever until right at the end a wreck hapened exactly on the border between2 countries the punch line was which side do they bury the survivors.
    The ambiguous road seemed befitting of the joke
