Hit and Run Driver Thought No Body Was Looking…


At a first glance, this incident looks rather trivial in comparison to some of the other marvels that we encounter on a daily basis on Russian roads; the camera-equipped car slows down before a sharp turn with another car smashing into it from behind. Nothing to see here, right? Not so fast…

Deer Knocks Lada and Sends it on a Violent Rollover



This video should serve as a warning that, as careful as one may be behind the wheel, you never know what can go wrong and like it or not, you need to come to terms with the realization that some things / situations are completely out of your hands.
If you pay close attention to the dash-cam footage provided from a following vehicle, you will see what is said and looks to be a deer (we wouldn't completely rule out the moose theory, though) ramming the grey VAZ-2114 (Lada Samara for export markets) from the side and causing it to slide into a ditch, which in turn, sent the car into a vicious rollover.

Wonky Tank Falls Off Truck Platform in Belarus


It cannot get more embarrassing for a soldier than this; experiencing a mishap while the public is gathered around watching, taking pictures and, of course, videos, which they then distribute to the always hungry for fails internet crowd...

This unusual incident happened in the Belarusian city of Grodno, which is situated close to the borders of Poland and Lithuania, reportedly earlier this week.

The soldiers were trying to drive a tank (it could be a mobile artillery, we're not sure) onto a truck platform, but the armored fighting vehicle slipped and fell onto its side.

8-Year Old Girl Drive an Audi up to 100km/h (62mph) on the Highway


We're all for teaching yours children how to drive from a young age, but only under the right circumstances and in a safe, and controlled environment, not on a public highway with patches of ice…

If this video of an 8-year old girl driving her father's Audi A6 in Russia at speeds of up to 100km/h (62mph) is true and not some sort of a hoax, then her parents, both of whom were reportedly in the car at the time, need some lessons (of a different kind) themselves.

Macho Infiniti Driver with a Gun Embarrasses Himself


America is not the only place in the world with a gun problem, as we’ve witnessed many times through dash-cam videos shot in Russia and the surrounding countries.

In this episode, an Infiniti FX cuts in front of the car recording the incident and the driver jumps out with a gun in his hand. He then swiftly approaches the other car and quarrels with the passengers, but little does he know that he forgot to pull the handbrake (or shift the FX's gear into park)…

Lucky Strike for Russian Pedestrians


We've said it once, we'll say it again; Russian sidewalks can be an extremely dangerous place to be during winter time. How do we know? Well, as with anything else that has to do with Russia, automobiles and roads, through the widespread use of dash-cams that tell the world about accidents such as the one featured in this clip.

A group of seven people, including a young kid holding his mother's (?) hand was waiting behind a pedestrian crossing for the light to go green.

A Meteor Falls in Russia's Chelyabinsk Region and It Was Captured by Dashcams!


Many have scoffed at the idea of using dashboard-mounted cameras, but that hasn't deterred hundreds of thousands if not millions of drivers from all over Russia from installing one in their vehicle.

If it wasn't for their love of cameras, the world would have missed out on a rare occasion when a meteorite shot across the sky and exploded over the Chelyabinsk region in central Russia on Friday morning.
