Cars Dancing on Ice, the Turkish Edition


Bad weather knows no national boundaries and the same type of mishaps occur on all four corners of the world, be that in Utah, USA, or Vladivostok, Russia. This video allegedly comes to us from Turkey (we couldn't verify it) and includes almost five minutes of all sorts of cars losing control on an ice covered road.

Slide over the break to watch the clip for yourself.

Why Hitchhiking on a Frozen Road is a Bad Idea


Staying put well inside the boundaries of road is never a good idea, even more so if the weather conditions are very poor – i.e. rain, snow and ice.

However, to the defense of the hitchhikers seen in this video, the man driving the dashboard camera-equipped vehicle was not only going too fast for the conditions of the road, but he also didn't even bother to slow down once he saw them signaling for a ride.

This proved to be a bad move, as you can for yourself in the video that follows.

Hammer UTV Racer Comes to a Very Abrupt Stop [NSFW]


Just because you can go faster than other participants at some point in a race, doesn't necessarily mean that you should (at least not always) because you might be in for a very nasty surprise as Matt Messer and his co-driver found out during the 2012 King Of The Hammers UTV race last week.

Polish Woman Fails Miserably in Driving Lesson, but was it Really her Fault?


Taking your first driving lessons is kinda like taking your first baby steps; it can be a nerve-wracking experience and you're bound to make mistakes. However, some mistakes can be more costly and far more dangerous than others...

A woman from Częstochowa, Poland, got herself into a life-threatening situation during a driving lesson in an enclosed area when she accidentally stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake driving the Suzuki Swift hatchback right into a concrete barrier and out to a main freeway!

Luckily, there were no cars crossing the road at the time.

Karma is, Indeed, a Bitch: Toyota Yaris Driver gets what he Deserves


Don’t you just hate it when another driver won't let you merge into traffic or cross a road even though he or she won't move on more than a car's length? Of course you do which is why we're going to assume that you'll find the following video staring the driver of a previous generation Toyota Yaris hatchback extremely rewarding...

Nissan SUV Slams Stationary Honda Civic that was Getting Ready to Street Race [NSFW]


We're not saying it can't happen, but the last thing you expect to see on an open road at night is two motionless vehicles occupying both regular lanes. Is it that difficult to see that this is something extremely dangerous for all parties involved? Apparently, the answer is yes…

Too bad these drivers had to find out the hard way when an unrelated Nissan SUV slammed into a Honda Civic hatchback that was standing still revving its engine as the owner was preparing to race another Civic on an unnamed road in Tampa, Florida.

The person who uploaded the video said that despite the severity of the crash, -fortunately- no one was hurt. You can watch the accident as it happened in the clip that follows after the break (beware; foul language).

Video Footage Shows Police Officers Beating a Driver in a Diabetic Shock [NSFW]


The "shoot first ask questions later" approach of some police officers from Henderson City in Nevada resulted in the cruel beating of Adam Greene who was suffering from a diabetic shock at the time.

The incident took place more than a year ago but the video footage from a Highway Patrol vehicle was released on Tuesday after Green reached a settlement in his federal lawsuit against the Henderson police department.

According to the police report, a patrol car spotted a Honda Accord weaving among lanes at about 4 a.m. on October 29, 2010, before it came to a stop near Lake Mead Parkway and Boulder Highway in Henderson. More Nevada State Troopers and Henderson police cars soon arrived to the scene.

Is this Hyundai Driver Extremely Lucky or Talented?


To answer our own question, probably a little bit of both, though the first thing that comes to mind upon viewing the clip is that the person driving the Hyundai Getz is reckless for zipping through traffic on a road with reduced traction due to the snow and ice.

Nevertheless, you cannot but admire the fact that the driver managed to get out of this hazardous situation without hurting anyone.

There's a good chance that the Getz didn't even touch the other cars on the opposite side of the road during its crazy slalom, but we're not entirely sure about that one. Pass the jump to watch the incident which starts at around 30 seconds into the video.

Massive Pileup in Helsinki Involving Around 100 Vehicles Captured on Film [NSFW]


The severe and long-lasting cold spell across Europe has led to many deaths and has been blamed for hundreds of motorway accidents around the continent including a massive pileup that took place on the Lahti highway located close to Helsinki in Finland, this past weekend.

According to media reports, the Lahti incident involved around 100 vehicles of all kind of sizes and resulted in many injuries, but thankfully, no fatalities.

In the video that follows, the passengers of one of the vehicles that lost control and ended up on a snow bank on the Lahti highway filmed some of the pileups. You can check it out after the jump.

How Did This Happen? Chevy Impala Explodes During Oil Change


We know that there are certain dangers involved when you're servicing a car but an explosion happening after an oil change is something you don't often hear about.

The accident occurred during a regular oil change on a 2001 Chevrolet Impala sedan and was caught on film by a security camera.

The two workers are seen completing the service with one of them entering the Chevy and turning on the engine presumably to circulate the oil, at which point we see flames shoot out and then an explosion in the engine bay.

Mercedes-Benz ML Owner Nudges his Way Through Traffic


No one feels comfortable waiting in traffic for hours but that doesn't mean you have the right to push your way through like the driver of the Mercedes-Benz ML seen in the following dashcam video.

The owner of the German SUV obnoxiously squeezes his (or her) way between parked and moving cars hitting a Lada sedan in the process. What's more surprising is that the ML driver couldn't care less about the damages caused and continued to drive!

Luckily there was more traffic up ahead and the owner of the Lada was able to catch up with the ML.

The Ferrari Graveyard from Japan's $4 Million Supercar Pileup


True, it's been close to two months since the world's most expensive car pileup took place in Japan destroying more than two dozen premium models including eight Ferraris and a Lamborghini with an estimated combined cost of US$4 million, but one of our readers pointed us this to video which we hadn’t seen before.

The clip shows some of the supercars involved in the accident including the white Ferrari Testarossa and several F360s at a parking lot somewhere in Japan. Apparently, this is where the cars were taken to after the mishap.

A whole lot of crumpled metal follows in the video below.

Justice Has Been Served: Frustrated Drivers Knock Over Audi A3 that was Blocking the Road!


Usually, when an insensitive driver double-parks on the road blocking the way to other vehicles, all it takes is a call to the police to get things sorted out. But there comes a time when frustrated drivers take matters into their own hands…

Which is what happened in Exarcheia, a neighborhood in downtown Athens, Greece, when the owner of what looks like a fairly new Audi A3 Sportback parked in front of a couple of large metal trash bins partially blocking the road.

While most passenger cars were able to make it through, a city bus that was making its routine trek around town couldn't fit. The bus driver along with the other drivers that were piling up behind kept honking again and again but to no avail; the owner of the Audi was nowhere to be seen.

Taiwanese Man Bumps into a Traffic Officer…with his Truck


True, accidents can happen any time and at virtually any place, but we think the driver of the small truck seen in this video from Taiwan is unforgivably careless. How on earth can you not see the police officer with the distinctive yellow markings in broad daylight?

Even though he was literally hit by a truck, the officer managed to get up by himself and trot to the sidewalk before another motorist had the chance to finish the job. And yes, that's definitely going to hurt for a while…

Toyota Taxi Driver has Some Really Bad Karma


Did you ever have one of those days that everything seems to go wrong? We don't know how the rest of the day went for the Toyota Camry taxi cab driver seen in the video but in this act everything that could go wrong did.

It all started when he abruptly stopped to let a pedestrian cross the road. We don't know who said what first but the short story is that the pedestrian punched the cab driver a couple of times in the face as he exited the taxi.

However, before he could do anything, his Camry started rolling by itself and hit the SUV that was in front of him! Watch the incident in the video that follows.

Police Chase Ends with a BMW X5 Crashing in Sleeping Man's Bed


You never know who (or what) may drop over by your house at night but somehow a large SUV crashing into your bedroom and landing on top of your bed isn't what 34-year old Michael Sweat had in mind when he pulled the covers over his shoulders.

It all went down last night when police started chasing a motorist in a BMW X5 after he didn't stop over motor vehicle violations at around 12:30am local time Tuesday morning.

Lada gets Dizzy from Going in Circles and Falls on its Side


While it may feature a rear wheel drive arrangement, the lack of ponies under the Lada Riva's (or 2105) bonnet makes spinning its tail a tiresome act for any driver. This man tried his best but at the end, the Russian sedan just gave up and fell on its side.

You can watch the video after the break – skip to around 2:07 if you're not impressed with the driver's skills to view the mishap.

An Amazing Front Flip Snowmobile Stunt and a Painful Mishap from the Winter X Games 2012


When you are trying to win a tough competition, you should be aware that with great risks come great rewards if you succeed but great pains if you fail.

At the Snowmobile finals during the Winter X Games 2012 that took place in Aspen, Colorado, on Sunday night, we saw a lot of both including the painful crash of Justin Hoyer on a double backflip attempt in the Snowmobile Best Trick competition and the scary free-fall of Colten Moore in the Snowmobile Freestyle event.

However, we also witnessed a truly spectacular front flip from Heath Frisby – the first ever of its kind in an official competition – during the Snowmobile Best Trick finals.

You can take a look at the videos right after the jump, just note that the third clip with Hoyer's accident isn't for the faint-hearted...

Drift Battles: This is How 'Officer Dan' Crashed his Nissan 240SX


If you watched the "Motorcycle vs. Car Drift Battle 2" video that we showed you a couple of weeks ago, you will probably remember the scene with Officer Dan, played by Dan Brockett, crashing his 1989 Nissan 240SX coupe in the closing credits.

The makers of the driftaluscious short film have released a behind the scenes video that walks us through the accident, which luckily, didn't leave anyone hurt.
