As far as I know, there really aren’t that many multiple car accidents on the ring. Yes, there are probably multiple single car incidents, but when I was over there I got talking to one of our guys in the shop and he was saying that he goes there frequently and that there really aren’t that many big accidents.

You would shit yourself at the way people drive over there. NOBODY is ever in the left lane. Hell, I was afraid to be in that lane for any more than 2-3 seconds… lol. We had a little Mercedes 1 series diesel for our rental that only did about 110mph max. I had that little sucker maxed out on the way to Paris and I was getting passed like I was standing still. Plus on the highways (including the ring) if you are in the left lane and you get hit from behind it is your fault for not yielding the right of way. Driving over there is a whole lot different than here.
