Relaxed Steering at the First Curve After the Speed Camera on Girne Pass

Immediately after the speed camera on Girne Pass, the road gives a short sense of release. The strict attention to speed fades, and the surface ahead appears forgiving. The risk forms not in the curve itself, but in how steering control subtly loosens just before it.

Once enforcement is passed, hands relax on the wheel. Speed increases slightly, often without conscious intent. The first curve arrives quickly, still shaped by gradient and camber rather than open roadway geometry. The car responds more sharply than expected, pushing outward as steering input arrives late.

Timing plays a clear role. Between 08:30–10:00 and 17:30–19:00, this behavior repeats daily. Drivers believe the demanding section is behind them. The curve is treated as routine rather than transitional. Attention has moved on, but the road has not.

A familiar local sequence follows. The camera is cleared, acceleration resumes, and the first curve is entered with minimal correction. The vehicle drifts wider than planned. A rapid counter-adjustment follows, often compressing space with the adjacent lane or road edge. Contact is uncommon, but loss of control moments are frequent.

This pattern is not new. Since the camera was installed, the same relaxation point has existed at the same location. The curve has not changed. The surface has not changed. What repeats is the assumption that control can soften immediately after enforcement.

On Girne Pass, the risk after the speed camera is not speed alone,

but allowing steering discipline to fade before the road has fully opened.
