An incident involving a convoy of vehicles traveling at high speed resulted in a collision due to insufficient safety distance between the lead vehicle and the following truck. Dr. Peter Vidmar, dean of the Faculty of Maritime and Transport Studies, explained during the 24UR Zvečer program that the convoy’s vehicles were traveling at approximately 150 km/h, with a safety gap of around 30–35 meters, which was deemed too short for such speeds. He noted that even experienced drivers cannot react quickly enough to reduce speed in time to avoid collisions at these speeds. The accident occurred because the first vehicle in the convoy could not move out of the way, forcing the second vehicle to adjust, but the lack of space led to the crash. Vidmar emphasized that while the situation was tragic, the positioning of the vehicles made the accident unavoidable under the circumstances.
