Watch a 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.

The driver featured in this dash-cam footage took an exit off the highway, seemingly a little too fast for his own good.

While entering the second turn, the car appears to oversteer smashing into the inner side of the road barrier, which sends it to the outer side before it finally flips over.

Another Curious Incident from Asia


Move out of the way Russia, the rest of Asia wants a piece of the dash-cam pie. Following on from a strange incident that we showed you on Tuesday, here's another one that pegs the question of 'what the heck just happened here'.

All we can tell you is that a man wearing a safety vest, who looks like he was part of a team of road workers, does a Michael Jackson-esque dance move before lying flat down on the road in front of the car with the recording equipment.

Bizarre Asian Incident Will Leave You Scratching Your Head for Answers…

Indonesia City Mayor Wants Female Motorbike Passengers to be Banned from Straddling


Indonesia is the world’s largest Muslim country. In September 2009, the Aceh provincial government, which is the only to follow the strict Sharia, introduced a law that punished adultery to stoning by death.

It also didn’t allow men to wear shorts and women to wear tight trousers and jeans, as those items were deemed offending. Some women objected, saying skirts would be impractical when riding motorcycles or scooters.

BMWs and Two-Wheelers Don't Mix in Taiwan


Here's another episode between a BMW driver and a biker in Taiwan. Whereas last time, we saw a bicyclist crossing paths with a BMW (and paying the price for it…), now it's a scooter rider.

The person steering what looks to be a BMW M5 E61 sedan charges off as soon as the light turns green but is soon annoyed by the presence of a motorcyclist.

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.

The video commentary says the accident happened in Taiwan, with the footage showing the BMW driver knocking down a bicyclist, who we're not sure if he was crossing the road from a side street or if he was in front of the car at the time.

Presenting the One-of-a-Kind Mazda RX-8 Blacknightz Coupe Project from Singapore


It's been more than two-and-a-half years since CarScoop reader Shawnz from Singapore piqued our interest with a custom project for a unique looking Mazda RX-8 Coupe.

To refresh your memory, back in February of 2010, Shawnz had sent us pictures of his project car, which at the time, was still being built and honed.

As a student, Shawnz had limited funds and time to complete the car of his dream, but he never let go and today, he can proudly present to us his finished creation that he likes to call the Blacknightz RX-8.

"After hard savings and refining the drawing board and the power mods...presenting the Decepticon to the Veilside 4509 GTR Supra," Shawnz told CarScoop in an email (if you're wondering about the Veilside Supra, click here for pictures).
