But that was not the case for one Malaysian motorist on Saturday (May 9) night.
A video posted on Threads by user Younde shows two vehicles stopped on the rightmost lane of Jalan Duta, in the direction of Duta Toll Plaza in Kuala Lumpur.
The two vehicles — a silver Perodua Myvi and a black saloon car — are believed to have been involved in an earlier accident, with the Perodua's hazard lights switched on to warn oncoming vehicles.
Meanwhile, the black car ahead is stopped perpendicular to the lane.
Moments later a third car travelling on the rightmost lane fails to stop in time and crashes into the black car.
The impact sends it skidding out of control across the four-lane highway, towards the road shoulder.

Just as the black car is about to exit the leftmost lane, a fourth car fails to stop in time and becomes the third to hit it.
Both cars then end up across the leftmost lane and road shoulder.
Kuala Lumpur traffic investigation and enforcement department chief Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Mohd Zamzuri Isa said the incident happened at about 11pm at the 28km-mark of the highway heading towards the Duta Toll Plaza.
ACP Zamzuri added that the black car, a Proton Inspira, had skidded and stopped in the rightmost lane before it was hit by a Proton Wira and a Toyota Hilux truck.
No injuries were reported among the drivers involved, he said.
Threads user Tharsh replied to the video post saying that the car which was struck belongs to her friend and that the driver suffered only minor injuries.
Another video posted by Nur Idina shows two persons moving unaided around the car. An ambulance is also seen near them.
Younde's video post on Threads, published at about 10.05pm on Sunday, has since been shared more than 11,300 times.
Several users pointed out that accidents are common along the stretch of road and called for the authorities to improve road safety.
