Nurburg into a satnav when you arrive not Nuremburg and then drive 300 or so miles and you arrive
I actually think that would take even longer than driving down south and crossing over at Dover lol.

If he was actually doing a burnout that is possibly the best ring video ever I can't believe he didn't get wiped out.

tempted to go next year in the diesel barge, as the corsa won't be done, then do it later in the year on the bike!

Thing is... clearly an accident has happened ... but then, everyone pulls over / stops and gets out to take a look (puts hazards on and stops) ... then this now actually was just a wall of cars on the track with the people coming up the track no where to go to dodge them, it's no wonder they ended up in a pile up.

That video gives a better impression of the roadworks and signs actually. In the vid i posted it looked as if that first sign was right on top of the roadworks but it was actually just the congestion from the crash, the roadworks were still another few hundred yards away.

I think that's just gone to the top of the idiocy videos I've seen from the Ring
And that video of the accident just says it all really, even the 'professional' in the Ring taxi crashed so even he didn't know it was there

Hard to say really, all the accidents happened beyond the first warning sign but before the roadworks actually started so it could've been caused by someone being a bit keen on the brakes for the roadworks or it could've been pure coincidence and it would've still happened had there been no roadworks there.

Hard to say without being there but surely that was the cause in the first place? Also, if the Ring taxi knew the roadworks were there surely they should have been slowing down at least for the roadworks?
It's very easy to talk about something when sitting at home safe and sound, different story when you're there I suppose!

I have seen the ring taxi go at full speed through roadworks before so is possible they just hadn't planned to slow I suppose
