Young heartthrob Justin Bieber just doesn't seem to get a break when it comes to driving his notorious white Ferrari 458 Italia. In yet another mishap, Bieber was caught up in an accident in Los Angeles on Monday night involving a pedestrian, and which predictably, was captured on camera (see video below).

As reported by TMZ, 19 year-old Bieber was leaving the local comedy club Laugh Factory on Sunset Boulevard around 11:45 PM with his friend and rapper Lil Twist, getting ready to board his Ferrari. Not surprisingly, he was surrounded by paparazzi who turned the night into day with there strong camera flashes.

Unbelievable: Teen Jumps Moving Car, Hits Windshield, Flips Over and Lands on His Feet!


After watching this video, you'll probably be wondering if this guy is for real – and by that, we mean if this is a genuine incident and not a digitally manipulated one (you can never be sure this day and age), and if so, how can one be so foolish to attempt this kind of a stunt?

The guy, who looks like he is in his late teens, had a female friend drive her Nissan Sentra while he was running towards the car and then tried to jump or rather run over it, but he stumbled on the bonnet and hit his knee of the windshield, which caused him to flip over in the process. Unbelievably, he landed on his feet!

Forget About Russia, Look What Happens in L.A. When a Woman Hits a Pedestrian


Many viewers tend to over-generalize and bash drivers and people misbehaving on the road when incidents take place in foreign lands, but what happens when they occur in their own back yard? Because this event you're about to watch in the video that follows is as crazy, if not worse than what we usually see, and it didn't happen in Russia but the good 'ol US of A.

Filmed in Los Angeles during what appears to be an illegal street drift meeting dubbed "Crenshaw Takeover" (see the second and third video), it shows a silver sedan hitting a young lady at a low speed at the crosswalk.

The young woman driving the sedan backs up and stops, but before she could do anything (we can’t say if she wanted to leave or stop to check out the woman), she was approached by an angry mob. The situation quickly escalates with two young men jumping on her car and breaking the windshield while other people were banging on her windows.

Father of the Year Shoots at Car for Not Giving Way at Crosswalk


Just when I was most tempted to say I’ve seen it all when it comes to surreal moments caught by Russian dash cams, here comes this mind-boggling footage.

It shows a man crossing the street together with a small boy, who we assume to be his son. Suddenly, the man stops in the middle of the crosswalk, pulls out a gun and fires a shot towards a car that denied him passage moments ago. He then continues to cross the street holding the boy’s hand, who witnessed it all.

Playing Tag with Moving Cars Doesn't Sound Like a Great Idea….


After watching this video, you will probably come to the following conclusions: a) crossing the road when you're under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, is one of the worst things you can do as a pedestrian, and b) that this young lady is more lucky than a swimming pool full of horseshoes and four-leaf clovers.

A Crosswalk Is A Crosswalk: Russian Pedestrian Walks Over Hood to Prove Point


If we are to judge by the sheer number of accident videos involving Russian pedestrians who were hit while crossing the street legally, as well as the personal experience of acquaintances who have visited the country, I’d say it’s a dangerous place to walk. The locals are so fed up with some drivers that they will do anything to not be stomped on by vehicles. Read more »

Russia Pedestrian Butts Heads With a Truck's…Mirror


Strange things happen on Russian roads when one least expects them. This is why leaving the dash cam always open and recording is a must for those in search of YouTube fame. The driver in the following video surely knew this and thanks to this, we have the opportunity to witness a surreal scene. Read more »

That's What You Get For Stopping to Let a Lady Cross the Road


One of the very first things you learn as a driver is to slow down while approaching, and always come to a complete stop at a crosswalk if a pedestrian is walking or waiting to cross the road.

While the driver with the dash-cam did precisely that, the person sitting behind the wheel of the car that was following on from the rear didn’t pay attention and slammed into the other vehicle.

So You're Reading Your Russian Newspaper in the Bus Stop, When This Happens…


We don’t want to give Russian drivers bad name, but when it comes to recorded traffic incidents of all sorts, they seem to lead the way. Most of the crashes we post are actually avoidable, and we are always perplexed as to why they don’t brake, steer and stop when they should, depending on each situation. Read more »

Woman Slips, Gets Tangled and Dragged by a Car in Kazakhstan, But Makes it Out Alive and Well


Warning: Even though the woman was not seriously injured, some viewers may find this video disturbing

We guess it's true what they say that you never know what the next moment will bring you. A video that surfaced online this week and which, even though is dated "2012/01/02", actually took place in the city of Almaty in Kazakhstan in March this year, shows a car dragging a woman.

Florida Cop Filmed Hitting a Pedestrian and….Leaving Scene


A Florida police officer is in hot water after striking a pedestrian with his squad car and leaving the scene without calling in the incident and asking for an ambulance.

The accident occurred in January when Orlando police officer Fiorentino-Tyburski hit Tetris Nunn as he was crossing the road when the pedestrian signal said not to. As you can see in the footage from a surveillance video that was obtained by WFTV news, the officer stopped and came out of the car and asked the man a few questions, but he then took off without reporting the incident. Nunn then called the police.

Intoxicated Pedestrian is Both Extremely Dumb and Lucky at the Same Time


Some people keep a straight head and take every precaution possible, yet still fall victims to accidents, while others, are complete and utter fools, tempting their fate in stupendous ways, but somehow make it out alive and without a scratch. In this video, we see an example of the former.

A clearly intoxicated pedestrian is caught on a dash-cam having taken off her shoes and changing words with some traffic officers, purportedly in the Ukrainian city of Karlivka.

Lucky Strike for Russian Pedestrians


We've said it once, we'll say it again; Russian sidewalks can be an extremely dangerous place to be during winter time. How do we know? Well, as with anything else that has to do with Russia, automobiles and roads, through the widespread use of dash-cams that tell the world about accidents such as the one featured in this clip.

The Only Thing This Woman Cares About is Getting on the Tram…


Drivers from Russia and the surrounding countries often receive a lot of flak for not paying attention to pedestrians, but that's not always the case.

Take these two women for example. Not only do they walk on the road instead of the pavement, but also in their hurry to get on a tram that had stopped further down, they completely disregard the cars – and that's something you don't want to do, especially during winter months when ice and snow cover the roads.

Karma Strikes Down a Driver Attempting to Frighten a Pedestrian


Most people are aware that road accidents are an unfortunate part of driving, but in some instances, they may be educational as well.

Take this mindless driver, for example. While traveling on a snow-covered road, the motorist notices a pedestrian crossing the road about 100 or so feet in front of him. What does he do? Believe it or not, instead of slowing down, he slams on the horn and actually accelerates his vehicle!

It's Good to be Alive: Incredibly Lucky Pedestrians


Not that life is easier for pedestrians residing in Russia and its neighboring countries during warmer seasons, but understandably, it's far more dangerous to try to walk across any road in the harsh winter weather conditions.

Here were have two separate incidents involving pedestrians and cars, with a fortunate outcome, at least for the former.

You Won't Believe How Lucky this Pedestrian was, but Neither will he…


Every man has his day in luck. For this old chap, Lady Luck paid a visit and hovered over, or shall we say, around him, as he was crossing the road.

A driver of an old sedan that looks like its from Russia, who had just passed the pedestrian crossing sign, was forced to slam and block his brakes, inadvertently turning the car around to avoid hitting the man.

Remember What Mom Said? Always Look Both Ways Before Crossing the Road…


Even as kids, we're taught by our parents and schoolteachers that we should always look both ways before crossing the road and never take chances. Better safe than sorry, as they say. Sadly, some adults still don't understand the concept.

A young woman in the city of Astrakhan in the southern European part of Russia, tried to dash across the road at the same time that a bus was coming from the other side.

In Russia, Even Cats Stand Their Ground on the Road…


We've seen many instances where pedestrians stand their ground in Russia while crossing the road, sometimes peacefully, other times with violent outbursts to get their point across or perhaps just to relieve the daily stress.

But as it turns out, it's not only humans that won't budge sometimes, as certain members of the animal kingdom do the same, as evidenced by this video from a dashboard mounted camera.
