Video: Saudi Pick-Up Driver, Drifts, Hits And Run...

These Arabian drift videos seem endless but so are the accidents caused by the amateur-like and brainless drivers. In this clip, a Saudi driver is drifting down a street with a Toyota pick-up truck when he suddenly hits an innocent by passer (?) sending him flying in the air. Remarkably, the bloke actually manages to stand up, but what’s more “amazing” is the fact that the driver continues drifting as if nothing happened! What an a$$...

Rollover Crash Video: "Well, That Sucked!"

LOL! Forget about the violent rollover scene, just jump to about 1 min and 17 sec after the beginning of the video. After a few seconds of perfect silence, you can clearly hear the male driver turn to his female co-driver and say “Well, that sucked”. That’s all he had to say LOL! Now that’s what we’d call a typical male reaction when... turd hits the fan and we loved every single second of it!!!

Video: Motorcycle Wheelie Accident... Oops!

Hey buddy! Watch out for that car! “Bang, Crash……wipe out!” Oops, guess this motor cycle wheelie was too busy basking in his own glory to notice the car he was about to crash into. Although it was a fairly graceful plunge, we hope he’s ok. Yikes! -Click “Read More…” below to see the video

Video: GPS Mistake Leads Audi A4 To Tram Rails

Here’s another poor soul who fell victim to the preciseness of a GPS system. This time in Milan Italy, an Audi A4 took a “wrong turn” and ended up on tram tracks holding up the line for hours. The driver claimed he was just following directions on his navigation system. Evidently, this is something that happens quite often. A few months back we had posted a story about a woman who followed her GPS into a river and sunk her car. I guess there is no such thing as a bad GPS system, just a bad driver. My dad once drove our rental car onto a tram track on a European vacation a few years back. Instead of making a scene, he just made his way over a 6 inch border surrounding the tracks and destroyed the car. Ces la vie! -Follow the jump for the video

Bugatti Veyron UK Crash Update: Driver Receives 9 Points And A Hefty Bill...

Remember the bloke back in March who crashed his older brother’s brand-new Bugatti Veyron in the UK? Well the unfortunate or untalented old chap –take your pick, has received nine points on his driving license and a breathtaking £400 fine (€591 or $807). That’s not even a slap on the fingernail if you consider that Ajay Soni’s brother paid a whopping £830,000 (€1.23m or $1.67m) only a week before he trashed the Veyron after loosing control of the car when accelerating out of a bend and then collided with a Vauxhall Astra coming the opposite way. Then again, Ajay’s brother could just send him the repair bill and call it even…

BMW 330i Coupe: When The Fan Hits The Roof...

Seriously, how the heck did this Russian driver manage to tip over his sparkling new E92 BMW 330i Coupe? The only apparent damage on the car -roof apart, seems to be on the right hand side, between the wheel and the door. But wait; there’s a desperate blonde sitting with her head firmly attached to the BMW Z4's steering wheel in one of the photos and when there’s a blonde... If the translation we made is correct, the female driver in the BMW Z4 was somehow involved in the accident which ended with the 330i tip-top over aside on its head. Shucks, we’re starting to sound like blondes ourselves now… -Click "read More..." below for more pictures

-As many of you rightfully pointed out, its a BMW 335i and not a 330i -one exhaust pipe on each side. What can we say, it was late, we were tired , we deserve to be punished by driving a pink Aztec on 13-inch rims for a month :-)

Ferrari 360 Spider: Another One Bites The Dust

A Ferrari 360 Spider takes a shortcut through the woods in Sweden going over 250 km/h (155mph) -or at least that’s what the guy who uploaded the video on Youtube says. Seeing the dismantled Ferrari 360 Spider we’d say the driver wasn’t going that fast. Nevertheless, still a terrible accident. Here’s a question that popped up in our heads while we were watching the video; what’s the percentage of Ferrari's that end up in junkyards?

So much for plungers: Bathroom Appliance Rig Takes 6inch Plunge Peeling Its Roof Off In Tunnel

Measurement is everything, especially when your 13 ft 6 inch truck is carrying bathtubs, toilets and plumbing fixtures through a 13 foot tall tunnel. I guess the contents of the truck aren’t really relevant in this case. But then a few angry New Yorkers won’t be taking a crap anytime soon since this driver disobeyed flashing lights, sirens and loudspeakers to not enter the tunnel.

As a result, the truck’s roof was peeled back like a tuna can. The safety director of U.S.A. Logistics Carriers, Mr. Cantu’s employer, said “it was just a bad call” by Mr. Cantu. “He misjudged the height of the tunnel, and once he was inside it he didn’t realize the damage he was doing.” Wouldn’t half the roof being peeled back be enough to cause concern to this man?

Rally Driver Nearly Drowns After "Crashing" Into A Lake

Nemesis: Man Leaves Girlfriend On Railway, She Gets Hit And Lives, He Gets Hit By His Car And Dies

What a tragic yet, unbelievable story. A 21-year-old Californian man who tried to kill his 23-year-old female companion by leaving her in a parked car on a railway crossing at San Fernando Road and Branford Street, L.A. was ironically killed himself when the oncoming Metrolink commuter train threw the parked Dodge into him.

According to eyewitnesses, the couple had been seen arguing in their 2005 Dodge Magnum when suddenly, the man pulled the car into the opposing lane and parked it on the railway lines gate just before the crossing arm dropped. Although some witnesses told police that the man jump out of the Dodge just as the train hit the vehicle, police are unsure whether he also intended to commit suicide. Although seriously injured, the young woman is expected to survive. Luckily no one aboard the train, which was carrying 132 passengers and crew, was injured. Via: LA Times

8-Year-Old Leads Police On A Car Chase!

Unlike our previous juvenile joy-rider and despite the fact that he was half his age and probably in need of a booster to see out the window, this kid at least had the “decency” of bringing the car to his home in one piece and… the right way up. However, let start from the beginning. The 8-year-old took the keys from his family car and set off for a mid-day joy-ride. The boy’s and the car’s absence were noticed by the 8-year-old’s grandma who notified the police. The latter didn’t have a difficult time in finding him; however, he lead the police to a low-speed pursuit for 5-10 minutes at speeds between 25 and 35mph, causing a car accident on the way that resulted to an injured driver.

But the story didn’t stop for the police their as once the kid parked at his home he refused to get out of the car causing his mother to go bazurk at the police who finally arrested her for child endangerment and assault on a peace officer. Via: Wcbstv

Teen Drops Into An Office Basement... With A Ford Focus!

A 16-year-old’s joy ride in a stolen Ford Focus came to an abrupt end in Edinburgh, UK on Tuesday (March 15, 2007) when the teen attempted to make a getaway after spotting a police vehicle. According to reports the 16-year-old lost control of the car as he tried to take a bend at high speed and ended up, or rather sideways down, in an office basement at the corner of North Castle Street and Hill Street. Luckily no one was hurt.

Ironically, the police stated that they hadn’t noticed the vehicle! A police spokesman said: "It was a stolen vehicle but I can confirm he was not being pursued by the police. He saw a police car and drove off at high speed before swerving and crashing into the basement." Via: Theregister

Russian Hara-Kiri: Land Rover Discovery Disembowelled

Those Russian folks sure know how to build some tenacious railings as you can see for yourself in these pictures. What a freaky accident; the metal railings literally impaled the Discovery / LR3!

Safety Ad: Even Dummies Wear Seatbelts...

This witty commercial is the work of ad agency Publicis Helsinki and their client, the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Finland. In the TV commercial humans and dummies have swapped places in order to show that even a dummy is aware that the use of seatbelts significantly reduce your chances of being seriously injured or knock on wood, dying in case of an accident. It’s not a matter of being a law abiding citizen, it’s a matter of living or dying. Simple as that.
