There's Something Reversely Wrong with this Driver

You could say that this driver is pretty good with his hands behind the wheel, or completely senseless, or perhaps better yet, both.

How else can you explain his actions after the car lost traction due to the icy conditions of the road, spinning around itself and narrowly missing an oncoming vehicle?

In Russia, an Accident is Never Really Over Until the Fat Lada Swings By...

If you make it out alive and unhurt from one accident, you can consider yourself lucky, but if you do the same twice in the same instance, it's nothing short of a miracle.

This driver was travelling on the road (in Russia, according to the poster and one of the car's license plates) minding his own business when a Mitsubishi Lancer sedan coming from the opposite side lost traction and swerved into his lane.

Life Can be Full of Surprises when You're Driving on Russian Roads

Come on, just admit it, there's no reason to be ashamed; you missed watching all those whacky videos from Russia on CarScoop while we were fighting against Google's devious bureaucratic operations the past few days.

So, to make up for it, we plunged into the depths of YouTube dodging the expected and looking for the unexpected – fear not, you'll soon see for yourself what we mean by that.

Yippee Ki-Yay, Munich Rivals: Mercedes Stars in New Die Hard Film, BMWs Get Blown Up

Has it really been 25 years since officer John McClane saved the day, or rather Christmas Eve and the hostages, including his wife at the Nakatomi Plaza? Oh yes, but that didn’t stop Bruce Willis from reprising the role thrice in the intervening years – or rather four times, since he’s also starring in the fifth Die Hard installment that’s coming out on Valentine’s Day.

In “A Good Day to Die Hard”, McClane travels to Moscow, meets his estranged son Jack and, as usual, accidentally gets involved in a terrorist scheme that he has to avert.

Count How Many Times this Driver Hit a Vehicle in 5 Seconds

The way we see it, there's only one of two things going on here with this driver: either he's more drunk than Lindsey Lohan floating unsurprised in a barrel of whiskey or he's crazier than a rabid dog.

There's no other explanation, because while you could say the driver of the white-colored station wagon (can you tell us the make and model?) was trying to make a quick getaway after smashing into the Nissan Juke when he hit the truck, the second time he crashed into it doesn't make any sense.

Moose on the Loose Hits Moscow Ring Road

Adding to the many strange things one can see on Russian highways these days, a driver captured a moose on film attempting to cross the Moscow Automobile Ring Road, which circles around the country's capital city.

We can't see if the large animal was hurt (it doesn't look like it), but while crossing the road, it stumbled and slipped before it got up by itself and headed towards the…fast lane on the left side of the highway.

When you're on the highway and it's snowing, it's always a sensible idea to slow down and increase the distance from the cars in front of you, as you never know what lies ahead. As they say, better to be prepared than sorry.

If you don't adhere to this very simple rule, your chances of getting into an accident are exponentially greater.

We're Pretty Sure That's Not Where Gasoline Goes…

Perhaps there's some sort of home remedy we're not aware of, but we’re pretty confident that, when it comes to cars, you should never, ever pour gasoline anywhere else than in the fuel tank.

That said, feel free to offer an explanation to as why this woman grabbed the gas hose after filling up her car and started to pour fuel all over her windshield.

Taxi Driver Shows us How to Impress Your Passengers with a U-Turn

Luc Besson, we just might have a new candidate for your Taxi franchise, if you ever consider making a fifth movie, that is.

While we're not entirely convinced that the yellow sign on the roof of the white sedan does indeed indicate that it's a taxi (we also see a grey-colored BMW 3-Series E30 Touring with the same sign crossing by), the intrepid driver should consider himself lucky for not ending up in the face of the Toyota Highlander.
