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.

Just a warning; if you ever happen to travel to Russia, you'd better be on the lookout for a black Mazda6 sedan with a hefty blonde passenger. She's trained to kill your vehicle if you ever cross paths with her, so watch out… Amuse yourself for about a minute in the video that follows below the jump. Read more »

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...

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.

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.

Something tells us that this gas station in Russia must have been robbed one times too many for its owner to go to such great lengths (pun intended) to find a way to secure payments from its clients. Follow the jump to watch the video and you'll see what we mean.

The Czech auto brand that could has built its 14 millionth vehicle some 107 years after Vaclav Laurin and Vaclav Klement, the founders of Skoda, began producing their first cars in 1905.

The milestone vehicle is a special edition ‘Laurin & Klement’ Superb that is designated for delivery to a German customer.

“This celebratory car is an impressive expression of our growth strategy,” said Skoda chairman Winfried Vahland. “We are expanding at a high speed. Almost two thirds of the 14 million cars built by the company were produced and sold in the past 20 years, four million of which were produced in the past 5 years alone.”

You'd be right to believe that driving in the countryside is far more relaxed than in the city, but while that may hold true for the most part, you never know what's waiting for you around the next corner…

See what happened to the driver of this Lada 110 in the Caucasus region in the video that follows after the jump.

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.

AvtoVAZ, Russia's biggest automaker and the manufacturer of the Lada, will begin production of a new compact sedan based on the running gear of an as of yet unspecified Renault model.

According to Bloomberg news, AvtoVAZ CEO Igor Komarov said that the first examples of the new four-door Lada would roll off the assembly lines at the end of February.

Even though Kim DotCom, otherwise known as Kim Schmitz, is currently behind bars awaiting possible extradition to the United States after a New Zealand judge denied an application for bail on Wednesday, the founder of the popular file-sharing website MegaUpload continues to make headlines for reasons not related directly to his case.

After his amazing collection of luxury cars were seized by police last Friday, we thought that would be the last we heard about DotCom's toys.

Apparently, we were wrong as it has been reported by several New Zealand newspapers that after his arrest, Dotcom's mansion received delivery of a…full-size inflatable replica of a Russian T-72 tank!

It seems that the BMW 5-Series [E39] sedan owner seen in this surveillance footage using what looks like an Opel Vectra as a launching ramp either failed to recall or was never told about the merits of defensive driving.

Guess he just had to learn his lesson the hard way… Fortunately, from what we can tell from the video that follows below, no one seems to have been seriously hurt.

We strongly oppose any form of violence on the road or anywhere else, for that matter, but what happens when you actually see someone attacking another person? Obviously, there's not one answer to that question as it all depends on the circumstances and whether or not someone's life is in danger.

In yet another wild incident from Russia that was captured on camera, a middle-age man in a Mercedes-Benz was squabbling with an elderly man in a hatchback.

The talk quickly escalated and the person in the Merc stepped out of the car and began attacking the other driver, initially punching and then kicking him with all his strength.

At that point, a young man in an Audi SUV stopped over and came to the scene and said something to the Mercedes driver who brushed him away. Seconds later the Audi driver runs back with a metal bat in his hand and whacks the tough guy on his legs putting him down. He then rushes to the Mercedes and breaks the mirror and windows before returning to his Audi and driving off!

As the saying goes, there's a time and a place for everything. And stopping on the left lane of a busy highway with the intent of scolding the following vehicle's driver for supposedly approaching too close to your car is beyond doubt the wrong time and wrong place for such a move.

See what happens next from the footage recorded on the trailing vehicle's dashboard mounted camera.

Horn and blinkers? Fudge that, automatic weapons can be much more convincing and when the vehicle in front of you doesn't slow down to let you pass by just give it a slight nudge and it will work out for the guy with the largest automobile.

Welcome to what is claimed to be a Chechnya wedding tradition where drivers are supposed to get behind the car that transports the evidently, very brave bride, for good luck.

We could have sworn that we saw Jason Statham popping his head out the window at some point… Get to know Chechnya's wedding traditions a little bit better in the videos after the break.

No doubt, you've probably seen at least a few videos shot from within a car originating from Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union.

Now, in the event that you were wondering why so many drivers choose to fit their vehicles with a dashboard mounted camera, we believe that the following clip will provide you with an answer...

Perhaps this large truck in the frozen Russian city of Vladimir got tired of waiting on the side of the road for its driver to return and decided to stretch out a bit in reverse, or maybe something went wrong. Who knows what happened, but we sure wouldn't want to have been in one of the cars behind it.

Take a look at the footage from a nearby surveillance camera in the video that follows below.

Here's one incident that could have easily turned the other way resulting in a horrific accident if it weren't for the driver's calm response when a truck decided to turn on a frozen road – possibly in Russia.

However, we reckon that he (or she) might have avoided the whole situation if he/she wasn't going so fast and practiced some defensive driving especially in these conditions.

Hit the break below to see how the incident unfolded.
