Motorway: Hell on the Highway

This time our panel of drivers and driving experts cast their eyes across a whole new set of dramatic traffic incidents from the UK motorways and roads across the globe.

In this episode we reveal disasters caused by road rage - from the driver who used his pick-up to ram another vehicle off the freeway straight towards a tree in California, to the van and car veering wildly across a busy carriageway as they try to take each other out in North Carolina.

We witness braking going bad, including a Hummer hammering into a hatchback in Connecticut, and the driver who smashed into a Sedan after failing to see it brake because they were looking at their mobile phone.

We also see crashes caused by slip ups on slip roads, like the driver who failed to match the speed of motorway traffic and was hit by two giant trucks as they joined a motorway in Taunton, and the van driver who made an illegal U-turn on a slip road near Derby with disastrous results.

Plus, we reveal the dangers of immovable objects on motorways, and professional drivers having a really bad day at work while on the roads.

We see crashes caused by losing control, from the driver in Thailand who veered across three lanes, to a car in the UK that spun directly into the path of oncoming traffic. 

We witness the driver who launched another car through the air into a telegraph pole, the pickup truck flipped onto its roof, plus the impacts of impatient driving.
