Motorway: Hell on the Highway - Season 1

This time the panel of drivers view a series of dramatic traffic incidents on UK motorways and roads across the globe. We see clips of tailgating terror and the serious errors made by cars exiting motorways.

We witness a collision on the I-10 motorway in California when drivers were distracted by the remarkable sight of the launch of Elon Musk's Falcon 9 rocket. And we observe the chaos caused when a Mini driver tries to undertake on a dual carriageway near Poole, Dorset – with disastrous consequences. Plus, we reveal what can go wrong when driving in the rain, and witness the mayhem caused when lorries lose their loads unexpectedly.

This time our panel of drivers and driving experts cast their eyes across a whole new set of dramatic traffic incidents from UK motorways and roads across the globe.

So, buckle up and prepare for illegal road racers taking to the motorway, heart-stopping near misses, and witness the dangers of drinking and driving up close, as one motorist goes airborne following an encounter with a roundabout. We also expose the difficulties of driving on black ice by examining three case studies, including an incident in New Jersey when a massive lorry jackknifes and vaults the central reservation.

A van takes to the air when it misjudges a roundabout near Great Yarmouth, and a terrifying road rage incident is caught on camera in New Jersey. Plus, footage of a Mexican toll booth which is struck at full speed in heavy fog by a huge lorry.

Cameras reveal what happens when a driver dozes off behind the wheel in Tennessee, and a Texas tornado gives one driver an unforgettable commute. Plus, the perils of breaking down on the motorway, and we witness one motorcyclist's remarkable escape when he hits a car and unexpectedly hitches a ride.

The panel of drivers and driving experts cast their eyes across more dramatic traffic incidents from the UK motorways and roads across the globe. We see the consequences of driving in extreme weather, from a tornado wreaking havoc on a couple in a camper van in Arkansas, to a battle royale in Virginia between a flash flood and a hybrid car. California is the scene of an extraordinary crash where, miraculously, no one is seriously hurt. Our panel also view baffling incidents of blind spots, terrifying tales of towing, outrageous overtaking and white van men creating mayhem on our motorways.

The dangers of driving in severe snowfalls, including a pile-up involving 50 vehicles during blizzard conditions in Ontario. Plus, the fallout from risks taken on our fastest roads, including a catastrophic crash from an illegal street race in LA.
