Oh No, SUV Stunt Goes Painfully Awry in the Middle East

Two men clinging on the sides of an SUV (is that a Toyota Land Cruiser 70 or something else?) that's tilted on its side with two wheels off the ground and driving in circles on an uneven and bumpy surface; what could possibly go wrong?

Sure, a few people willing to risk their lives and well-being have done it with success before, but your chances of coming out unscathed are clearly against you.

Toyota Land Cruiser J40(?) Jump Goes Painfully Wrong

One of the things that I just cannot accept or understand is why some people continue to refuse to wear their seat belts. It’s not about obeying the law for its own sake, but purely for your own safety. Period.

If you were to begin viewing this video from the 20-second mark and on, you would be excused to think that the driver and his passenger simply parked their beaten up Lada Riva Estate (VAZ-2107) in the middle of the road and left to go on to their work or wherever else they were heading to.

Thunderstruck: Russian Mayor's Toyota Land Cruiser Almost Hit by Lightning on the Road

It’s never a boring day on Russian roads as there's always something interesting to be captured on film by the myriad of dashboard-mounted cameras used by local drivers.

Just the other day (never mind the 2100 date on the video), a resident of the Russian town of Zheleznogorsk, which as we learned, was established in 1950 for the production of weapons-grade plutonium, was minding his own business when all of a sudden thunder struck down on the road at the same time that a Toyota Land Cruiser was passing by.

How Can You Not Slow Down in Front of a Pedestrian?

We understand that pedestrians should always use crossings for their own safety but under no circumstances does that mean a driver of a motorized vehicle should not yield the right of way to a human being who is walking across the road.

Just take look at the following video in which we see a Toyota Land Cruiser rolling at a low speed towards a woman who is passing through the road at that moment.

We Don't Know Why, But They Say this Russian Driver was Drunk

If you happen to be intoxicated, it's never a good idea to step inside a car and take a seat behind the wheel, since all sorts of things can go wrong.

This Toyota Land Cruiser Feels Like a Train on Rails

Like any other country in the world, Russia has its fair share of traffic jams with motorists always trying to find a shortcut to avoid wasting hours on end waiting in line.

Some, of course, are much more imaginative and reckless dare-devilish than others, like the owner of this Toyota Land Cruiser (unless we are mistaken and it is the SUV's Lexus sibling) who placed his vehicle on the train rails.

If you happen to read about a train accident in Russia, you will know whom to blame…
