Who's at Fault Here in This Road Rage Curse Fest? [NSFW]


Most of us spend a heck of a lot of time on the road behind the wheel of a car or the handles of a motorcycle. Sometimes we're not in the best of moods, which is when ugly things can happen.

Filmed in the UK from the helmet camera of a motorcyclist, this video shows the squabble between the former and a driver of an older generation Honda Civic saloon on the road, which evolves into a lesson on British curse words (hence the NSFW tag).

Chevy Driver Knock Down Bikers Who Then Get…Ticketed for Reckless Driving in Vegas


A dangerous ride that took place in and around the McCarran Airport Connector Tunnel in Las Vegas last week was captured on a motorcycle rider's helmet mounted camera.

In the video we see a silver Chevrolet Cavalier sedan driving among a group of motorcyclists who themselves had spread out on all lanes of the road. After clipping one of the bikers, he continues to drive recklessly and eventually, hits and knocks down two motorcyclists in the tunnel.

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.

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.

Bummer…Biker Crashes During Wheelie, Futilely Tries to Run Away from Cops


What is it with motorcyclists attempting wheelies in front or behind cops lately? You may remember this incident from less than two weeks ago when a biker wheelie-d himself into the rear end (insert face-palm here) of a Chevy Caprice patrol car.

In this latest and somewhat related accident in the sense that the biker performed a wheelie around cops and was eventually apprehended, a motorcyclist lifted the front wheel of his machine but lost balance and wiggled straight into a curb that knocked him down on his behinds – the two-hand rubbing gesture suggests it was a painful experience.

Check Out The Keying Car and Bike Prank


You can call this the two-second prank - because that's all it takes for most people to realize that you're fooling around with them in an admittedly harmless way. Still, that doesn’t make it any less amusing to our eyes and ears.

The funny kids at Ross Creations are responsible for this on-the-road hoax where they informed car drivers and even motorcycle riders that they forgot their keys on the door.

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 »

Did These Texas Cops Overreact by Tazing Alleged Hit and Run Driver?


A Texas man who was tazed by cops on May 23, 2013, is now crying foul over police brutality. A copy of the video shot from the camera on the arresting Cleburne motorcycle officer's uniform was released to the public upon the request of a family member of Donny James Hinshaw, 30.

According to the police, Hinshaw was involved in a hit-and-run accident. When the cops pulled him over, the 30-year old man exited his truck, at which point, motorcycle officer Robert Sigler quickly approaches and tells him, "Hands on the truck. You’re under arrest".

Oh, What a Fail: Motorcyclist Doing Wheelie Rear-Ends a Cop Car


We don't know about you, but we think that when you're riding a bike and taunting the police, you might want to keep both wheels on the road and your eyes firmly set on the cops. Just saying…

If you don't, you might end up like this free-spirited chap who is making viral headlines after one of his riding buddies who was coming from behind captured this incident on his helmet camera.

Look at What the Japanese Came Up With to Solve Their Bicycle Parking Problems


It's no secret that space is limited in Japan, which is why architects and engineers strive to come up with novel solutions and ideas to make the best of what they have to work with.

As you can see in these pictures on Michael Flux's website, another thing we know about Japan and its people, is their love for bicycles. Combine the two and you have a problem, especially when it comes to parking in crowded cities.

Girls Falling from the Sky in Korea? Not Exactly…


In any other case, it could be God's gift to man, but not this time, and the only reason we're using a lighter tone on this otherwise painful and dangerous accident is that the woman involved made it out alive.

In the first half of the video that contains footage from the front-facing vehicle dash-cam, we see a young woman, purportedly in Korea, landing on top of the car's bonnet and falling onto the road before she gets up.

Well Played Sir: Driver Bails Out Just Before Truck Smashes his Tricycle


It is in the human nature for people to freeze in the presence of danger, but it's not always like that, or at least, it doesn't apply to all individuals. The driver of the tricycle truck in this video from Wenshan, China, is one of those exceptions to the rule.

The man was apparently in a hurry and had pulled up in the middle of the crossway (illegally) positioning his tricycle in front of the oncoming lane when a mid-size truck was approaching at speed without slowing down.

Elastic Scooter Boy Smashes Into One Car, Hits Another One as He Makes a Run for It


On one hand, you have to admire this scooter rider's fitness levels as he jumped back onto his feet and onto his bike faster than a full-throttle GT-R chasing a quarter mile record, after crashing into the rear end of a Suzuki Jimny.

On the other hand, though, the way he crashed and more importantly, how he abandoned the scene of the accident makes you wonder about a lot of things, some of which aren't at all appropriate…

Crazy Frenchman Sets World Speed Record on Rocket-Powered Bicycle at 163MPH or 263KM/H!


There are speed records, and there are speed records, and then there's what Frenchman François Gissy achieved, because it's one thing going fast on a bicycle using your feet to turn the pedals, and a completely different story when thrust comes from hydrogen peroxide-fueled (H2O2) rockets… Read more »

Young UK Driver Knocks Cyclist Down and then Tweets About It – Police Finds Out


We would like to begin this piece by saying that everybody who uses a county’s public road system should pay attention at all times, and be aware of their surroundings, regardless of their ride of choice. Drivers of four wheel vehicles blame those who prefer two wheels (motorized or not) for not paying attention and being caught off guard, while the other camp redirects it back and a kind of vicious cycle is formed.

However, this latest story from the UK really gives car drivers a bad name, after a young woman from Norfolk used her Twitter account to post about how she hit a cyclist and knocked him down.

Daughter Witnesses Crash While Dad Was Offering Valuable Driving Advice!


Talk about a crazy coincidence and a lesson well learned! While driving on the road, a Russian father was explaining to his young daughter what she should do in the event they were involved in an automobile accident.

"A car crash is very scary, Yulia," says the father, according to the translation offered in the video (if it's wrong, tell us about it in the comments). "You understand why I am telling you all this, yes?" he asks his daughter who replies "Yes".

Macho Jerk in California Slaps Motorcyclist Who Captures it on Film


Have you ever been in a situation where you wished you had a camera to record everything? Well, this motorcycle rider from California did, as he had mounted a small camera on top of his helmet filming an incident that took place this week, just outside a Honda dealership in the city of Burlingame in San Mateo County.

In the video, we see the motorcyclist and the driver of a black Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk6 waiting at a red light before both accelerate fast once the green light comes on, then the motorist stops abruptly in front of the biker and approaches him in a menacing way.
