Russian Daewoo Nexia Driver Ignores ‘Give Way’ Sign

Whenever a smaller road meets up with a larger one, on which people drive quickly, it is very difficult to get moving, especially if the way onto the main road is not not angled, or very wide, as you simply cannot build speed sufficiently quickly enough to match that of the other cars, and thus, lots accidents tend to happen at such locations.
If you intend to simply cross the main road, it is even more dangerous, as there is more of your car for others to crash into, therefor making it very difficult for them to go around you, in the event of a possible crash. This Daewoo Nexia driver, from Russia, faces the problem described above, which is made worse by the fact that he did not look for possible threats before proceeding.

However, the threat was a speeding Chevrolet Lacetti, which apparently did not have ABS, as its wheels lock in a cloud of tire smoke, which partially blocks the moment of impact. If there were any passengers on the right side of the Nexia, a car based on the 1990s Opel Kadet, then the impact may have even been life-threatening.
