Russian Cops Crack Down Hard on Drunk Driver


We're not aware of all the details surrounding this video captured on the dash-cams of two police cars, but there's no doubt that these cops weren't fooling around with the driver and occupants of a speeding silver sedan in the Russian city of Novokuznetsk. Read more »

That's a Costly Oops: Aston Martin Rear Ends Bugatti Veyron in Moscow


Jeez; where's a dashboard camera when you really need it? Well, for now, the only piece of evidence we have about this extremely costly accident between an Aston Martin (reportedly a DB9, but we wouldn't be surprised if it's another model) and a Bugatti Veyron is the single photo seen here.

Driver Hits Two Birds With One Stone, Avoiding Traffic and Annoying his Female Passenger


One of the most annoying things than can happen to you behind the wheel is to carry a back or front passenger seat "driving instructor".

Despite having shared and watched hundreds of Russian dash-cam videos, our knowledge of the language is extremely limited, so we have no idea what the female passenger of this clip is saying – bilingual readers are more than welcome to translate in the comments, though, to be frank, it does sound like the universally understood nag-talk…

This is How You Swiftly Break Up a Road Rage Fight in Russia


We've watched more road-rage fights in Russia and the surrounding countries from  dash-board cameras than we care to remember, but we think this one stands out from the crowd for one very simple reason: the incident was killed before it started getting violent.

Confused? Give us a minute to explain, if you haven’t already made the jump across the break to watch the video.

Topcar's Stinger Is a Porsche 911 on a Carbon Fiber Diet

Flooded Russian Underpass Looks Fun...From the Outside


I don't know about you, but If I drove my car up to a road crossing under a bridge and it was flooded with knee-height water, I would just stop, turn around and take my time-losses on the street.

Of course, you could do as these Russian drivers did when they were confronted with the aforementioned scenario and roll the dice on whether you'll be fishing for your front bumper, pushing your car or being lucky and making it across the artificial river dry and in one piece.

Russian Driver Crash-Blocks Frisky Love Makers


Warning: Even though the cow and her bull-mate made it out alive, some viewers may find the incident disturbing

The last thing one would want to do while driving on the open road is to intervene and block (there's another word for that, but we promised ourselves to behave) a pair of animals gettin' jiggy wit it, if you don't mind us calling it so.

Out of Control Russian Bus Smashes Into Four Vehicles


A number of road users, including several children, received an unwanted surprise today (Friday, June 28) in the Russian city of Irkutsk when an out of control bus slammed into three cars and a small truck.

As seen from the dash-cam of a car that was not involved, the bus veered onto the sidewalk and came crashing into the other vehicles at speed. According to a report from the local news station Irk, rather amazingly, everyone made it out alive and only a couple of motorists and passengers suffered some very minor injuries that were treated on the spot.

Did This Russian Driver Really Fill Up a Car With Concrete Because It Was Blocking Him?


You'll forgive us for being a bit skeptical about this bizarre incident, purportedly filmed in Russia, as it’s not every day that someone calls a concrete mixer to fill up a car because it was blocking the way…

In the video posted online, we watch the driver of a white Chrysler 300 approaching a blue sedan that had parked right in front of him. He then smashed the mirror before breaking the window – all while we hear the two people who were filming the scene giggling their heads off.

Moron Alert: Nissan GT-R Driver Crashes Right Into a Lexus RX


Yes, it's head-scratching, Russian dash-cam time again and here we have a foolish and impatient driver, who after this incident, shouldn't really be allowed behind the wheel of any car, let alone one of the likes of the Nissan GT-R, for a very long time.

While all other motorists were patiently waiting for the red light, the person driving the tuned Japanese sports car wanted to play smart guy violating a basic road rule that says stay on your side of the road, especially when there's a double line.

Scary as Hell: Motorbike Rider and Passenger Take to the Air After Hitting Car


Warning: Some viewers may find the following video disturbing.

Running a red light is all the more dangerous if you’re on a motorcycle. A car will have no trouble displacing the weight of a motorbike or scooter, and either it or you may be thrown far away, especially if you were really gunning for that light, and you end up going a bit too fast through the intersection.

What a Tool! Infiniti FX Driver Hits and Runs Away on Russian Highway


Things really have a tendency to get out of hand in Russia, and a highway crash turns into a felony as an Infiniti FX driver rams a Mitsubishi Colt from behind, launching it into the inner guard rail, causing it to crash quite severely. However, the luxurious Japanese SUV is not seriously damaged, and it speeds away from the scene, disappearing in the distance. Read more »

This is What You'd Call Less Than Inch from Death


There's no way of telling if this motorcycle rider from Russia was fully aware of how terribly close he came to death or an extremely long visit to a local hospital at best, but if he ever does check out this dash-cam video on the interwebs, he'll sure as hell thank Lady Luck for making it out completely unscathed.

Dimwitted BMW M3 Driver has a Death Wish


More due to luck than anything else, the Russian (or so we understand he's from Russia) driver of this BMW M3 E92 Coupe was not involved in an accident – this time, at least, because if he continues this way, he will surely soon make it on our list of crazy crashes from the land of Tsars...

Even so, the driver and his passenger who was filming the speedy run came very close to re-creating this much-publicized Moscow accident that occurred earlier in the year.

This Biker Needs to Chill Out in the Corner for a Bit


If not always, most of the times, accidents are a result of series of factors (some of which can be avoided, some not) that all line up and result in an unfortunate outcome. Once you check out the following video, which fortunately, did not end in an accident, you'll see what we mean. Read more »

Rolls-Royce Hopes Wraith Coupe will Boost Russia Sales


Rolls-Royce sells around 100 cars per year in Russia, according to a recent report published by Bloomberg. It also states that the Anglo-German carmaker is not standing still, and is planning to increase that figure with the introduction of the sporty Wraith coupe, just as the country is planning to impose higher taxes on vehicles costing more than the equivalent of $154,700.

Russian Driver Makes a Run for it After Speeding Past Cop, First on Wheels, Then on Foot…


Unless you have the eyesight of a hawk or a radar detector, there's not much you can do after a police officer locks you in on his radar. Basically, you have two options; slow down and wait for a cop to pull you over and hand you a pink slip himself, or continue on your way and wait for the ticket to arrive at your home.

For some unexplained reason, the driver and passenger of the dash-cam equipped car who flew by a Russian policeman who clocked them going 180km/h (112mph) on his radar, chose a third option…

Porsche Cayenne Driver Hits Car and Continues Like Nothing Happened


Needless to say, no one should ever leave the scene of an accident unless, of course, it's a matter of life or death - for example, we can't blame this Los Angeles woman for leaving.

The actions of this particular driver in the Porsche Cayenne are inexcusable. Not only does he (or she) enter the opposite lane of a double line road placing many motorists in danger, but the driver also crashes into a black sedan (possibly a Lada) to make room and then stomps on the gas pedal and drives away!
