The idea is good. But: I think it is not necessary. To avoid the accident you could join the workshop by F7 + Enter or you could think ahead and drive on the side before you close the game, you have to notice that you are driving at C-D and that there are coming trucks every second. So I don't really know what happened before, but when I close my game I drive on the side and when this is impossible, for example because the game crashed, I press F7 + Enter or go on on sp. I know that this is very awkward but normally in my case I don't leave the game on such a point.
This also happens not often and when it happens, just follow the steps above. And then good drive!
