Bummer: Sitting on the Trunk of a Car that's About to Leave is a Very Bad Idea [Video]


Common sense says that you shouldn't lie down and get cozy on a vehicle's trunk when the driver is inside and the engine is running, but some people just need to learn their lesson the hard way.

We can't say for sure if the driver saw the young lady flashing her legs on the Lada's trunk or not, but fact is that he sped off with the laws of physics coming into play from then on.

After her hard encounter with the road, we believe this woman will think twice before she throws herself on a trunk again…

Road Rage: Pedestrian Teaches Tough Guy a Lesson


Some people just have it in their blood to get into fights and escalate a simple situation into something far more violent. And we can see this quite often on the road.

Unfortunately for some, fortunately for others, there's a big difference between being “willing” to fight, and “winning” a fight.

See what happened to this "macho" passenger who got angry at a pedestrian who tried to cross the road while the light was green in the video after the jump.

Опа! Another Driver gets Really Lucky in Snow Covered Road


Thanks to the number of drivers who have fitted their cars with dashboard mounted cameras, we have the opportunity to see how fortunate some of them are in potentially life-threatening situations on the road.

This video reportedly takes us to Russia and a snow and ice covered road. The driver of the car was going his way when a large truck steered towards an exit.

Due to the conditions of the road, the motorist with the dash camera-equipped vehicle didn't have enough time or space to slow down, but luckily, he was able to avoid both the truck and the oncoming cars on the other side of the road. You can watch the clip for yourself right after the jump.

BMW Opens its Second Exclusive M Showroom in St. Petersburg, Russia


Initially created to handle BMW's racing program in the early 1970s, the Bavarian firm's M division grew exponentially over the years and is now responsible for the development of the brand's high-performance models like the M3 and M6.

Such is the success of BMW M Gmbh, that the German firm has begun opening exclusive showrooms for the sub-brand's vehicle lineup around the world. The first dedicated BMW M Showroom was launched in Singapore in the summer of 2010.

Hulk Smash and Bash: 2012 BMW 5-Series M Sport Goes Chrome Green


Vinyl wraps can be had in all sorts of colors and designs, but while the majority of drivers usually select normal colors in metallic or matte shades, some owners gravitate towards extreme solutions.

And what could be more extreme than a chrome green wrap around a 2012 BMW M5 5-Series F10 sports saloon?

Talk About Dodging a Bullet: Extremely Close Call with Semi Truck Caught on Film


This in one of those cases that not one person would believe how close you came to meeting your maker without video proof. Fortunately for us, the driver of the car involved in this close call had a dashboard mounted camera that recorded the entire incident on film.

Basically, what we have here are two careless drivers that created a potentially deadly accident scene with their foolish actions as both attempted to overtake a vehicle on a relatively narrow road under freezing conditions. See how it went down in the video after the break.

Captured on Camera: Russian Style Highway Robbery in a Volvo S80


Unless these men had one drink too many and were in desperate need to use the can, we are forced to conclude from what we see in this video footage sourced from a dashboard camera mounted on a trailing vehicle, that they either clobbered or stole from someone, perhaps even both.

The clip starts with a black Volvo S80 driving normally on a traffic jammed road, allegedly somewhere in Moscow, Russia, but as soon as the cars in front stop, the driver pulls the vehicle diagonally on the road and then three men dressed in black jump out of the car.

A Crazy High-Speed Police Chase in Russia Caught on Film


Some criminals just refuse to give up, no matter how bad the situation gets. In this video that we came across today, a team of young car thieves in Russia are trying to escape from the police in a stolen, small station wagon model.

Several local police officers pursuit the car and even manage to deploy what looks like a spike strip that punctured the stolen vehicle's wheels. However, these thieves aren't ready to surrender as they continue their dangerous ride. But all things come to an end sooner or later… Watch the chase in the videos after the jump.
