Two Sloppy Accidents in One Stop


How can you rear-end a car that is slowly moving in front of you? Pfff, that's easy; just take your eyes off the road for a split second and keep your foot on the gas pedal, which is exactly what this young Asian lady (she could be from Taiwan, but don't take our word for it) did in her green Nissan sedan.

That's part one of this accident, with part two following only a few seconds later when one of the passengers in the Nissan opened the door on the side of the street knocking down a scooter rider, who…was holding a kid up front.

Truck Rollover on Highway


Being scared to death after watching a truck flip over right in front of you on the highway is completely human and understandable. What isn't, is when something like this occurs to you and you drive off into the sunset as if nothing happened.

Just look at this accident, which from what we understand, took place somewhere in Asia.

Container Truck Fall Right in Front of One Very Lucky Motorcycle Rider


Rest assured, if the scooter rider featured in this clip had not been able to back up a couple of feet before the container truck tipped over, we wouldn't be showing you this video footage shot from a nearby security camera.

Then again, if he wasn't in such a hurry to sprint through the traffic light in front of the cars waiting on the zebra crossing, he wouldn't have found himself in this life-threatening position, would he…

Driver Plays Pinball on Cement Barriers and Flips Over


We all know that it only takes one split second of distraction or misjudgment to cause an accident on the road.

Beware of Fast Driving BMWs


Driving on a city road as if Frank Martin (from The Transporter film series) is chasing you is never a good idea and it can get you and other people in trouble or even worse, as was the case with this BMW owner.

Vietnam Cop Holds on to Bus' Windshield Wipers as Driver Tries to Escape Ticket!


We have heard many strange stories about police officers and drivers that try to avoid tickets, but what took place in Hanoi, Vietnam, this past Monday, surely takes the cake.

The man you see hanging on to the windshield wipers of a bus is not the local version of Spiderman but a very devoted Hanoi cop.

According to local news site Dantri, police officer Phan Nguyen Manh stopped the driver of the passenger bus, Phung Hong Phuong, in the Ba Vi District for a traffic violation. However, the bus driver refused to show his license and papers and instead chose to drive away, at which point, Manh jumped in front of the vehicle!

This did not deter the bus driver one bit who tried to flee with Manh hanging onto the windshield wipers! The police report said that the driver continued for almost a kilometer (0.6 miles) reaching speeds of up to 50km/h (31mph) before he gave up and was arrested.

The scene with the cop clinging onto the wipers of the bus was captured on film by a by-passer. You can watch for yourself in the video that follows below.

Trashy Payback: Motorcyclist Throws Garbage Back Into Car


You've seen it done by others many times, and perhaps even done it yourself at one point or another. We're talking about littering from the car.

Usually, there's not much one can do about it most of the times, but one scooter driver somewhere in Asia took matters in his own hands when he observed a vehicle passenger throwing out some trash from the window.

What did he do? He stopped over on the side of the road, picked it up, then approached the sedan and graciously threw it in back to its rightful owner! Watch the video after the break.
