One Mistake Leads to Multiple Crashes on Icy Highway

When you're on the highway and it's snowing, it's always a sensible idea to slow down and increase the distance from the cars in front of you, as you never know what lies ahead. As they say, better to be prepared than sorry.

If you pay attention to the dashboard camera-sourced footage, at about seven seconds into the video, you can see an old (or new, it's the same thing anyway…) Lada Niva 4x4 legally entering the road from a side street.
