Train 0 : Stupid Driver 1

Train 0 : Stupid Driver 1
Thanks to ReedBrothersDodge for another upload into the 'stupidity' category.

What part of audible warning, flashing lights and a closed barrier is so difficult to understand? Does this not all scream STOP?! Apparently not, for this particularly stupid - and lucky - driver.

The irony is the train only has 1 carriage and is gone in an instant. 1 more second and we'd be saying the same about the car. Marvel at the dumb luck of some people...although we're wondering how messy that driver's shorts are...

Wanna see what happens when the train actually hits a car?

Big Drift Crash. In HD!

Big Drift Crash.  In HD!
We love that Clashprod shoots in HD...all the better for seeing this big drift crash up close and personal!

The driver on the left of the screen has a perfectly good track - Silverstone! - ahead of him but, instead, takes Option B: rock hard wall! Unsurprisingly, the car loses the battle, as does his opponents, and the crowd screams in shock. Excellent stuff!

To see how things should be done, ride on the front wheel well of this S15 2JZ Driftworks Nissan.

Pole Position

Pole Position
Photshocks brings us yet more stupidity from around the globe.

You gotta reckon there are a few signs posted saying "buses only" or "government vehicles only" or something to suggest to Mr., and Mrs., Average Joe that this lane just ain't where they're supposed to be driving . But has that ever stopped anyone?

We love the fact that people with this level of stupidity are still allowed to breed, and rush to check on their spawn in the aftermath of their ridiculous attempts to maneuver a vehicle. Shouldn't there be a law or something?

Bus Crash Test

Bus Crash Test
We have carpro1017 to thank for this public service announcement.

Sitting up front, with a good view of the road, may seem like the way to travel if you gotta get on a bus, but you may want to reconsider that choice after you've watched this Bus Crash Test video. We're thinking a) being the driver would not be a good job to have in this instance and b) sitting somewhere behind the first few rows would be a great idea.

Love the slo-mo, though!

Try not to cry watching this McLaren F1 get crash tested.

Moron Pickup Truck Driver

Moron Pickup Truck Driver
Thanks to 993ti for sharing this little bit of road etiquette with us.

Everybody's in a hurry; we all want to get from A to B as fast as possible. Sometimes you can cheat, get around the guy in front. Sometimes, that's probably not such a great idea...like with this moron in his pickup who tries to create a second lane...in a tunnel!...where there quite clearly is not room for one.

The driver of the car that's videoing is, understandably, rather upset.

Do you think the same guy was driving this forklift truck?

Bus Meets Tornado

Bus Meets Tornado
barnesy brings us weather news from abroad where bus meets tornado has a predictable ending!

In something reminiscent of 'Tornado Week' on the Weather Channel, this bus filled with Polish choir singers is about to get put on the spin cycle. We're not sure what they're all saying - sorry, our Polish is a bit rusty - but it sounds a little bit like "Oh holy f***ing sh*t, we're completely f***ed now!" or words to that effect.

Oh the horror! Watch what happens when nature goes bad

Generally, though, human stupidity is all that's required for disaster to strike!

Don't Mess With A Bus Driver

Don't Mess With A Bus Driver
We're not sure where Roma007 finds all his great uploads but they're generally guaranteed to be a) good and b) pretty amusing.

It's pretty simple: if you're going to drive like a total idiot, pick someone your own size to piss off. And no, we're not talking about the bus driver, who seems to be just minding his own business, we're talking about the lane-swerving, probably-on-the-phone a-hole in the minivan in front.

Moral of the story is don't mess with a bus driver cause it's a battle you're sure to lose. And yes, we would have rammed them too!

They should be glad this bus wasn't the one to hit them.

Female Bus Driver = Beware

Female Bus Driver = Beware
We are LOL at this video from Roma007

Yeah, yeah, we all know that women driver's get a bad rap. But, that's because they're so often seemingly incapable of keeping the vehicle they're operating from being involved in an accident. We're really not sure how the driver of this bus manages to lose control quite so spectacularly on a basically-deserted, smoothly-paved road (OK, there's a really slight bend in it) but she does.

Wait for the plaintive cry of the lone passenger, "Please let me out!", after the bus lands on some parked cars. Let's hope she's not planning on picking up any more passengers!

And, unfortunately, they don't seem to get any better with age!

Oops!

Oops!
We're not sure where Reed Brothers Dodge found all the pictures for this album but we're hoping they didn't actually take all of them. If they did, we know who we're NOT going on vacation with. Ever.

Some of the pics are, evidently, staged but most just defy a) belief and b) the laws of gravity. Just how stupid are these people? Natural disasters notwithstanding, if this is the gene pool of our planet, we're well and truly f***ed!

Click through the Oops album and try not to shake your head too many times.

Woman 'Driving'...At Least We Think That's What She's Trying To Do...

Woman 'Driving'...At Least We Think That's What She's Trying To Do...

You really have to wonder how some people get their driving licenses if this video from Roma007 is anything to go by.

We'd love to say it was shot in some backwards nation but we're pretty sure the $ on the pay sign is a good indication that we're smack bang in the good ol' U.S. of A. If this is what happens when it's a Woman Driving at a snail's pace, exiting a car park, what the hell happens when there's actual speed and, heaven forbid, other cars involved?

Actually, who needs other cars or speed when you can just give your keys to your 14-year old son & watch him crash into the garage

Acura TSX vs. Forklift = Ouch!



Our thoughts go out to Skunk2 Racing and thanks for sharing this video with us; we know it must be painful to watch!

The pride and sense of accomplishment when you're finished modifying your latest ride must be pretty amazing. Gleaming paint, thousands of dollars of custom parts and many man hours of labor, as illustrated by Skunk2 Racing's Acura TSX, are gently rolled out of the work shop and into the daylight.

And then things just go horribly wrong. We're not sure who the monkey is driving the forklift but, evidently, checking his surroundings or driving at slow speeds with a large load were not, apparently, part of his training.

But that's OK. No harm, no foul. It's not like anybody got injured or anything, right? Well, if you don't count the enormous hole in the Acura TSX's driver's side door.

Er, what do ya think: bonus or getting fired?

To see more crashes, take a look at this Motorbike Accidents compilation.

Watch the carnage of Acura TSX vs. Forklift and try not to cringe.

VIDEO: Dyno Accident

Dyno Accident

Brought to you by saabbygoran.

You won't get any safety sermons from Streetfire, but, this video is worth watching. It shows how quickly an accident can happen. It's a short video. Guys are standing around a Honda watching it on the dyno. An older man walks past those lined up along the wall, accidentally steps on the spinning machinery, and falls. Hopefully he's okay. The video comes to Streetfire from Serbia.
