At least he wasn't going the wrong way!

According to Romanian traffic laws, bicycles are strictly forbidden on highways. These roads are designed for high-speed vehicular traffic, and the emergency lane is exclusively for vehicles experiencing breakdowns or for rescue services. The incident raises questions about how the cyclist gained access to the highway and how long he traveled on it. Authorities consistently warn that such situations can lead to severe accidents.
