A CRASH involving two vehicles at a busy junction yesterday was simply the latest in a long line of accidents there, according to neighbours.
A silver Skoda estate ran into a wall after colliding at about 9.40am with a Sarnian Roofing van at the intersection of Brock Road, Doyle Road and Rouge Huis Avenue.
Nobody was hurt but both vehicles were extensively damaged. St Peter Port junior constable Barry Cash, who lives nearby, said more accidents happened there than probably anywhere in the island.
‘This was the second accident in a fortnight,’ he said. ‘The last one was at 2am and we regularly hear near misses.’

If people followed the road markings and stayed in lane the problem would go away. All this is is further example of Guernsey drivers being rubbish and not paying attention.

I really believe that Guernsey drivers don’t even look at the road markings, or make any attempt to understand what is required of them.

I agree with the two comments above. The standard of driving in Guernsey is so poor I now take a bus. Even sitting on the bus watching these clowns is scary. The Police should take a far more pro-active approach with regard to speeding, parking, bad road manners and those awful motorbikes & scooters with no silencers!

what road markings?most of them are worn out, and almost completely disappear in the wet.
Report abuse
I use this junction every day and the problem is too many people do not know how to use this junction or cannot read, more education is required and this could easliy done with illustrations/diagrams etc published by the Press.
