Intersections, of any kind, are very tricky to negotiate in crowded towns, where there are lots of cars trying to do the same thing at the same time, and as quickly as possible.
This is why lots of people are caught speeding in town, despite the fact that with the widespread use of traffic lights, speeding in town becomes rather pointless - you may gain a few (not many) minutes, but the risk of an accident is extremely high.
Take this accident, from Russia, where the driver of the silver VW Passat was trying to make a left at an intersection, and was doing so correctly. However, things take a turn for the worst in an instant, as a speeding Tiguan SUV smashes into it from behind.
The crash itself is quite spectacular, as the Passat is hurled at the car with the dash-mounted camera. Nobody seems to have been injured, but there was quite a bit of kinetic energy at work here.
