Hungary
1. Curve
A curve is a section of road that changes direction to the left or right. A sharp, unexpected or poorly visible curve can reduce a driver’s view of approaching traffic, stopped vehicles, pedestrians and other hazards.
Drivers should reduce speed before entering the curve, remain within their lane and use smooth steering, braking and acceleration. Warning signs may indicate the direction of the first curve or a series of successive curves.
What makes a bend dangerous in Hungary?
A bend can hide traffic and shorten your stopping view. Watch for a tightening curve, changing grip and road users hidden beyond it. Slow before entering and choose a speed that lets you stop within the visible distance.

How should you approach a sharp curve in Hungary?
Slow down before the bend, select the correct lane position, look through the curve and steer smoothly. Keep enough grip and visible stopping distance for the road and weather conditions.

Is overtaking safe on a blind bend in Hungary?
Do not overtake in a bend or at a crest where the view is obstructed. The specific prohibition has exceptions for a one-way carriageway, or where a continuous line separates directions and the manoeuvre can be completed without touching it. General safe-overtaking conditions and other restrictions still apply.
