True, accidents can happen any time and at virtually any place, but we think the driver of the small truck seen in this video from Taiwan is unforgivably careless. How on earth can you not see the police officer with the distinctive yellow markings in broad daylight? Even though he was literally hit by a truck, the officer managed to get up by himself and trot to the sidewalk before another motorist had the chance to finish the job. And yes, that's definitely going to hurt for a while�
Did you ever have one of those days that everything seems to go wrong? We don't know how the rest of the day went for the Toyota Camry taxi cab driver seen in the video but in this act everything that could go wrong did. It all started when he abruptly stopped to let a pedestrian cross the road. We don't know who said what first but the short story is that the pedestrian punched the cab driver a couple of times in the face as he exited the taxi. However, before he could do anything, his Camry started rolling by itself and hit the SUV that was in front of him! Watch the incident in the video that follows.
Italian motorists hit a mobile jackpot on Monday when a truck carrying some 2 million euros or about US$2,5 million at today's exchange rates in �1 and �2 coins overturned and spilled most of its contents on the road after blowing a tire and hitting another car on the A114 highway near Foggia, in southern Italy.
Passing drivers seized the opportunity and pulled over on the motorway literally risking their lives to clean the road from the coin-debris. Unfortunately, their motivation was nothing more than unadulterated greed.
According to Italian press reports on the incident, fast acting motorists made off with at least �10,000 (around US$12,500) before the police arrived at the scene.
The owner of this Ferrari 458 Italia was in for a nasty surprise when his 570-horsepower Italian supercar started sending smoke signals from the engine compartment while he was driving on the streets of Paris. The cause of the fire remains a mystery but you can see the results in the photo gallery that was posted by a member of the Autogespot forums after the break.
I want to be upfront about something: I'm not an American, I'm an Australian. And as such, I don't really understand NASCAR or baseball, and my daily driver is from a country that the Americans were at war with seventy years ago. Heck, I sometimes even eat croissants.
So what gives me the right to chide American drivers for resisting such a basic piece of road design as the humble roundabout? Well, that's simple: in Australia we've been using roundabouts for years.
Scooters can be a fun alternative form of transportation and recreation, especially during summer vacations. However, as with any other motorized bike or any type of vehicle for that matter, you really need to keep your head up � literally. Despite the comical end of this young man�s attempt to fool around with a scooter, we reckon that using his face to dig a hole in the sand sounds much better than the alternative ending had he managed to ramp his way over the lump of sand� Follow the break for the video.
The spectators at last weekend�s ADAC GT Masters championship at the N�rburgring witnessed a horrific crash involving Alex Plenagl and his BMW Alpina B6 GT3 racecar when the driver lost control of the vehicle and strayed off the course at a high speed. Plenagl�s Alpina flew over the safety barriers, passed through a BMW sign and crashed onto the concrete wall.
Many have tried, but few, if any that is, have succeeded. We�re talking about people who try to imitate the driving style of the Dukes of Hazzard, but who eventually end up in a situation that�s closer to what you�d expect from Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane than Bo and Luke Duke. In this video, we see the driver of Volkswagen Caddy small van getting off the road to use a knoll as a lifting ramp� Do we need to say more? Watch the clip for yourself after the break (for a better viewing experience we propose playing both videos at the same time).
A crazy car crash that took place in Moscow, Russia, on July 6, 2011, was caught on film by a pair of security cameras. The person responsible for the catastrophic scene you see in these aftermath photos that were shot on location is the driver of a black Nissan GT-R. 
From what we can tell, the GT-R driver was either street racing with another car or simply trying out the full potential of his high-performance sports coupe on the streets of Moscow. Whatever the case, he failed to steer left after passing a black vehicle from the right and ended up crashing into three parked vehicles. The force of the impact was so severe that the parked cars were literally thrown into the air as if they toys. Watch the security cam tapes of the accident in the videos after the break.
It can�t get more embarrassing than this � well, that is, unless someone has footage showing us how the owner of the blue Chevrolet Camaro got himself in this sticky situation in the underground parking garage in the first place. In the Youtube clip after the jump, we see the aftermath with a...Toyota-branded forklift trying to free Chevy�s pony car, but without any success. One very strange incident indeed.
A rather foxy yet clearly irresponsible teenage driver of a Citroen Saxo had British police running in circles �literally- in a chase that took place at the Hams Hall industrial estate near Coleshill, England, last month during a police crackdown on what they call illegal car cruise events. 
One of the spectators who had stopped on the side of the road to enjoy the chase filmed the young man�s shenanigans and uploaded the video on Youtube for all to see. It all started when an unmarked Seat Leon hatchback pursued the driver of the silver Saxo who managed to escape by speeding up, down and even in�reverse on the busy highway.
From the imaginative world of TV reality shows comes our next story. The show in question is �Wie wordt De Allerslechtste Chauffeur Van Nederland?� which is Dutch for �Who is the Worst Driver in The Netherlands?� However, once you watch the video after the break, you may considering an alternative title in the likes of �Who is the Most Idiotic Reality TV Show Producer in the World� since the enlightened creators of the show came up with the fabulous idea of testing Netherlands' most incompetent drivers on an unsafe course.
The bashed up 599 GTO we showed you yesterday wasn�t the only Ferrari to bite the dust at this past weekend's Trofeo Ferrari Club Italia event at the Vallelunga racetrack near Rome. The same fate awaited this red 458 Italia when its driver apparently lost control of the exotic supercar in a corner sending it straight onto the protective barriers. In a somewhat unfitting end for the Ferrari, a tractor had to be called in to carry away the car. Watch the incident unfold in the video after the jump.
While we are happy to see that at least some owners of the rare Ferrari 599 GTO (of which only 599 examples will be built) take their cars out to their natural habitat on the racetrack, it�s always a sad sight when one of those exotics ends up like this. The Youtube poster of the video says that the driver lost control of the car �at the end of the straight at 250km/h (155mph)�, but given the relatively modest damages to the 599 GTO, we reckon that he either had a lot of space in front of him or the crash occurred at much lower speeds, perhaps even both.
Take a good look at the picture posted above. Now raise your hand if you know what�s going to happen next. If the first thing that popped into your head was that the tree is going to fall down, well, let's just say that you may want to see if this cultural motorcycle club is accepting new members. If your thoughts involved a flying chopper inflicting a lot of pain to the biker, give yourself a pat on the back and head over the jump for a few good laughs.
Donald Clegg, a 59-year old doctor from Prestwich in the UK was four times over the legal limit when he crashed his Vauxhall Zafira into a row of parked cars. He was also sleepwalking at the time and attired in a dressing gown and slippers� Dr. Clegg pleaded guilty to driving over the limit �without due care and attention� and was sentenced to a minimum 12 month driving ban, a fine of �650 and was ordered to pay �315 in court fees and charges. The court rejected that Dr. Clegg�s sentence should be suspended due to his somnambulism (somncogoism?).
The man behind the �Forward Russia!� movement, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, took his campaign motto a smidgen too seriously when he almost...forwarded a Mercedes M-Class he was driving into a crowd of people cheerfully waiting for him on the side of the road. While we can�t be 100 percent sure, from the video it looks like Medvedev either forgot to put the SUV�s handbrake on or even worse, didn�t shift out of drive and into park before jumping out of the vehicle to meet his voters. Fortunately, Medvedev�s security was alert and managed to stop the Mercedes before it hit the crowd. The incident allegedly occurred in the city of Kazan on Monday. The video, which you can watch after the break, went viral and has already more than 200,000 views on Youtube in less than 24 hours.
Upon viewing this accident that was caught on a security camera for the first time, the initial reaction is shock: a large bus (seemingly) drives through a red light and crashes with an oncoming bus at the intersection. Take a closer look at the footage though and shock is quickly followed by bewilderment when you notice a small green vehicle, which looks to be a three-wheeler tuk-tuk (or rickshaw), passing between the two busses milliseconds after the impact and just as the second bus falls onto its side! From what we can tell, the green tuk-tuk came from the park and turned right on the central road. The accident reportedly happened in Bangladesh on Monday. Check it out for yourself in the clip after the break.
When common sense goes out the window, you can usually expect one of two things to follow: tragedy or comedy. What you�re about to view in the video after the break could have turned tragic, but since it appears that no one was seriously hurt, we�re going to categorize it as comedy.
Yesterday we brought you news about the first episode of the seventh season of BBC�s Top Gear TV series which aired last night featuring the Paramount Group�s Marauder. The South African-built armored vehicle was driven by TG presenter Richard Hammond in its native country. 
However, �driven� is an understatement, since Hammond made the Marauder flatten cars, smash through walls and defy lion attacks. He also took a bright red one for a drive around Johannesburg, creating quite a fuss.
