First-hand accounts of drivers who came to a grinding halt, from road users who failed to put their brain into gear to extraordinary obstructions and life-or-death situations. A lorry driver was unable believe his eyes when the vehicle in front of him, transporting bales of hay, caught fire, causing a tailback of mega-proportions, while a chauffeur sees his life flash before his eyes when a careless driver attempted a U-turn on a dual carriageway, smashing into him and forcing the entire road to close.
