Factual error: When Martin Krebs is sitting in traffic, he looks in his driver's side rear view mirror, and the writing "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" is printed in a clear call-back to the first film. However, this repeats the mistake made in the first film: this writing is only on passenger side mirrors.
Factual error: The service station at the facility has been abandoned for 17 years, but the car there starts right up without issue. Not only would the battery be dead, but gasoline has a shelf life of only 3-6 months. Even with an additive, it would be usable for at most around 2 years.
Answer: It could be argued that he was panicked and not thinking strategically, but realistically, this is an action movie, and that means more crashes, explosions, and mayhem for audience entertainment.
