If you find yourself in the wrong lane of the freeway, DON'T do this!​

This is one of the worst possible times to change lanes ever caught on dash cam. Recorded on the Westgate freeway in Melbourne this video shows how not wanting to drive five minutes out of your way can end in absolute disaster as the black Mazda moves from the far left lane to cross over two sets of solid white lines to avoid taking the wrong exit.

The Mazda moves across leaving the VW in the right hand exit lane with absolutely nowhere to go. Not surprisingly the VW slams into the side of the instant roadblock that appeared in front of it, causing significant damage to the larger Mazda.

The other cars on the road were lucky to avoid the carnage as plastic was strewn across both lanes during the crunching collision. Luckily no-one was hurt in the accident and hopefully the video will serve as a reminder to all drivers that if you find yourself in the wrong lane, it is far better to continue until you can rejoin the freeway at a safe junction.
