Thats what happens when you drive on the wrong side of the road.
Nearly happened to me once on the continent, but luckily I had my wits about me, unlike all those other idiots. They were on the wrong side!!!
I blame Bonapart.
Funny name he's got, never noticed that before. He was probably having a little giggle about his name when he overheard his ministers saying something about switching sides. "What's that you're saying?" "Er .... Nothing boss.. Um we just thought we could make everyone switch sides of the road".
"Eh! Oui Oui. Make it so"
"Phew! That was close, E nearly caught us"
But history tells us, he did indeed get em.
They were wiped out in histories first head on, multi cariage, horse and cheese wain pile up.
It was on the N1 in case your interested. I was there recently and you know what. They were still driving on the wrong side.

Hi there,

that's the Autobahn A2, it's always known for really bad crashes with lots of hurt and dead people.
Last time I went there, on the other side there was a crash with a campervan, it was fully spread on all three lanes after having an awful crash. Sadly there also one person died that time.

If you have the choice, don't go on the A2 in GE.

Another impressing crash happened last time, see here for some pix.

Good to know, that nobody died in the car. All three persons are still living, the front passengers got only hurt a little, the back passenger is out of danger of life.

Sad pictures, but that's life.

Greetz, Chris.
