How dangerous our roads are sometimes and also watch out every second!

Yes, roads can be dangerous when you veer across two lanes to get to an off ramp. Amazing she survived, hope she learned a lesson though.
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

I was expecting to post about how stupid she was. But I can see what happened, and how she would have been caught out by the stationary traffic. That said if you're turning off the motorway you get into Lane 1 in plenty of time, thus avoiding this sort of thing.
I wouldn't say that indicates the roads are dangerous, as the crash was entirely of her own making.Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

The way I was taught is that it takes about 400-500 metres for a car going 120 to overtake a truck going 80. So as you approach the 400 metres sign you should stop overtaking and start merging into lane 1. Then you have plenty of time to merge in.

In that situation you never know what's going to be lane 1 anyway, even if there wasn't a junction coming up there could have been a lorry just travelling along.
