Sudden Stop On Russian Highway Causes Big Problems

Stopping on the highway, regardless of what problem you or your car may be encountering, is one of the worst ideas you could have. Other drivers, don`t expect to see a stationary vehicle, while driving at highway speeds, and even if they do see it, it`s usually too late to do anything about it, especially when everything happens in close proximity - this is how those huge pileups happen, like the one from Sweden, which involved 50 cars, left 18 injured and 3 dead.
In this video, several cars are involved in a mildly-sever accident on a stretch of Russian highway or ring road. One driver, at the wheel of a silver estate car of unidentified make and model, stops for no reason, and since cars were driving closely behind, drivers panic and go every which way they can.

One driver veers to the right, to avoid crashing into the stopped cars, yet in this way he gets into the path of another car, which was two lanes away - contact is inevitable. Motorway driving should always be treated with the utmost care, as there are some situations which don`t normally happen, yet when they do, one needs to be prepared and vigilant!
