Sounds like 259 really bad drivers.

Safe travel distance, people. Safe travel distance.

That's the A2, Germany's most important east-west traverse, infamous for traffic jams and accidents and with one of the highest volumes of traffic in this country. This was actually 73 different accidents involving a total of 259 cars, 66 injured, 21 severly, 10 life threatening, none dead so far. It happened within 20 minutes over a 30km stretch between Peine and Braunschweig.

The video said that rain is supposed to be the cause, but that's not all. It was a combination of the sudden onset of heavy rain, the setting sun and dark black tar on the road itself. In some circumstances, you literally can't see shit on the A2 east of Hannover thanks to that bloody tar, because it reflects just about everything.

And yes, people drive like loonies. Everyone has his/her vice and that's ours.

PS: I marked the stretch of Autobahn via Google Maps if anyone wants to take a look: link
