stupidy kills

In this series of vids I dont think any were killed - they were just lucky! Overtaking on the inside lane - excessive speed in terrible conditions - crossing double lines etc were the bulk of these clouts. Oh and one where a guy falls out of a minibus backwards reminds me of the arguement about cars not being designed in favour of pedestrian impact!!


Not all of these accidents are in Russia - but about 80% are, and give you an idea of the madness and mayhem I face every single day - and I can tell you that I have yet to complete any journey of more than 15 km without finding at least one stupid accident


enjoy the vid

Petrolhead has mentioned that he suffers from dyslexia.

I find genuine typos ok, but I do find people mixing up 'there, their and they're', or 'breaks and brakes', 'your and you're' etc. annoying. And yes, I do occasionally do it myself, and that is the most annoying.

Nope,I'm with you on that one. Perhaps PHIR has worn his keyboard out over recent days?

Possibly, but it might have something to do with the fact that he is dyslexic too?

Guess what- I'm not a robot.

There does seem to be some awful accidents in Russia.

One I saw recently was a Navara being obliterated by a 40 tonne truck on a snowy/icy dual carriageway with no central barrier.

The impact must of been ~100mph. Awful.

Looking at the video you posted I have to ask, why do so many drive so fast in poor conditions and perform such questionable manoeuvres?

Just saw that on YouTube. Horrific. One small mistake...

Scary lack of common sense prevails!

One question though - why do so many people have an in-car camera running? Is it something to do with insurance?
