Abstract

This paper describes certain uncommon road safety hazards resulting from road surface contamination, driving on split-mu surfaces or explosive decompression of car tire. One of the analyzed cases involves a road accident due to inadequate emergency reaction of a motorist after running in road surface covered with spilled grain. A methodology of experimental research allowing to analyse and explain road traffic incidents has been developed. The research results indicate an importance of improving the driving skills, as well as the motorists' capability to make right decisions on the road.
