Belarusian Grandma Feeling Invincible, Doesn't Even Flinch


We've scolded drivers for not giving way to pedestrians in the past, though, foot-travelers should also keep a visual lookout for oncoming vehicles, especially under harsh weather conditions.

We can't say for sure who's at fault here since the covered up grandma (according to the poster) from Minsk seems to have a green light, but so do the cars coming from the other side of the road.

Kitty Has an Exhaust Pipe Addiction…


You know your cat may be having some kind of serious issues when it pokes its face into a running SUV's tail pipe and takes a few whiffs of the exhaust gasses.

We are going take a wild guess here and assume that this crazy feline is from Russia – well, at least that's what the title of the video suggests.

Oops!...I Did It Again…


We guess everybody is entitled to a mistake on the road, but when you try to run away from your "mistake" only to repeat it moments later, then it's not called a mistake but more like a case of drunk driving…

If you are patient enough to keep watching the video through the 18-second mark, you will see a full-size black sedan rear-ending a small commercial truck before the driver attempts to drive away on the opposite lane of the road only to smash into…another car.

Renault-Nissan Takes Over AvtoVAZ, Plans to Revive Lada and Increase Sales in Russia


With the Eurozone debt crisis stifling new car sales, auto manufacturers are looking elsewhere to make up for lost ground. China may be the world’s largest market but after years of rapid expansion, it shows signs of slowing down.

New car sales in Russia, on the other hand, increased last year by 40 percent to more than 2.6 million vehicles. Even though the rate of increase is expected to cool down, with 2012 sales estimated to be around 2.9 million units, it is still a very interesting prospect.

This is How They Deal with Abandoned and Illegally Parked Cars in Russia


When it comes to vehicles that are abandoned or parked illegally, most municipalities will issue tickets with the hope that owners will pay up and conform to the law, but sometimes, more drastic measures are called for.

In Russia, for example, some cities have no problem taking matters into their own hands and settling the problem once and for all, giving owners a tough lesson.

Dumb and Dumber Get Their Butts Kicked in Road Rage Incident


Next time these two bright youngsters decide to play Rambo with one of their fellow citizens, they just might want to make sure they have the…necessary tools placed in the boot of their car.

For about a minute, we see two compact sedans, a Chevrolet and a Daewoo if we're not hugely mistaken (not that it matters, since they're both the same), chasing each other and generally acting hazardous and completely foolish on the road.

VW Group Starts Building New Engine Plant in Russia, Operations to Commence in Early 2015


The VW Group is already the largest foreign investor in Russia. Since 2006, it has invested nearly €1 billion (US$1.3 billion) in facilities and new models and just last week, it announced the allocation of a further €840 million (US$1 billion) in the next three years.

Nearly €250 million (US$326 million) will be spent building a brand-new, 30,000 square-meter engine plant next to its existing vehicle facility at Kaluga, which currently produces the VW Polo and Tiguan and the Skoda Fabia and Octavia models.

This Truck Driver Could Definitely Use a Backup Camera


Think you're having a bad day? How about this Audi motorist who was caught behind a truck whose driver missed a turn and then simply decided to back up on the road.

As you would expect, such a big vehicle has many blind spots, especially towards the rear, which is why their drivers should exercise extra caution when attempting any change of direction.

Playing Real Life Bumper Cars isn't in the Least Amusing


As scary as this incident may have been for the driver and passengers of the vehicle fitted with the dashboard camera, it could have ended, worse…much, much worse.

The passenger car was traveling on the highway when a truck on the opposite side of the road (look at the 15-second mark) suddenly turned or lost control, we cannot be certain from this distance, and crossed through the other lane.

Dedicated Traffic Officer Hit by a Truck gets on his Feet and Goes Back to Work!


Talk about impeccable work ethics. A police officer, who according to some online commentators, was directing traffic in Kazakhstan (if the incident occurred in another country, leave us a note below), was knocked down by a careless truck driver.

We could be wrong, but from what we can tell, the truck looks like it drove over the cop's foot before it continued on its way.

What Exactly Was this Bicyclist Trying to Do?


Good old Russia (or so we’re told that this incident happened in the land of fire and ice) never fails to entertain us.

Who knows why, though we're pretty sure you can think of a few reasons if you try hard enough, but a bicyclist travelling on the road tried to jump over a car that was slowly heading towards him.

You Won't Believe What this Truck Driver Found in the Middle of the Road


Truck drivers have the unique opportunity to see many things while traveling on the road for miles and miles on end, some of which are interesting, some of which are boring and some of which are, well, just plain scary.

Without much debating, we decided that we are going to count this one as odd, shocking and mostly sad, all at the same time.

The Kama Sutra of Motorcycle Riding Positions will Make You Smile


Okay, we know what you're thinking after reading the title and checking out the opening picture, and we don't blame you for that. However, we can assure you that, for the most part, this video is completely safe for viewing at work or next to your spouse – unless, that is, you want to try it out yourself…

The funny guys and gals from the Russian channel Vshleme came up with the brilliant idea of poking some fun at the art of Kama Sutra by applying the teachings to motorcycle riding positions.

Asshat BMW Driver Tailgates and Honks Down a Couple on a Scooter


There's a saying among some car enthusiasts about BMW drivers and porcupines. Obviously, we're not going to generalize and apply that trait to all Bimmer drivers, but we are going to say that this is indeed the case with the man driving this particular BMW.

Even if we accept the video poster and BMW driver's claims that the scooter driver and his passenger were drunk as skunks (and that's debatable), what he did next is inexcusable and makes no sense.

Idiots in Road Rage Incident Almost Kill Pedestrians


It’s one thing being annoyed over something as trivial as to who's going to give way first on the road, and another when you take unwise actions and endanger the lives of others drivers and pedestrians like these two swell-headed egomaniacs.

The men behind the wheels of the Nissan Teana sedan and the Mazda CX-9 crossover were trying to intimidate each other in a stupid game of chicken on the road by swerving left and right.

Oh, the Irony…Russian Driver Listening to The Cure's Song "Close to Me" Sandwiched by Trucks


It's funny how things connect sometimes. A driver, who on YouTube is listed as being from Russia, was driving down a highway on a rainy day while listening to the sounds of a 1985 song from British brand "The Cure" named "Close to me". Read more »

Angry Birds, The Russian Highway Edition Guest Starring Goofy


After watching this video, you can add birds to the strange but true stories that take place on Russia's vast, and at times, rather dangerous network of highways and roads.

On a side note, not that we are at all surprised, but the flock of birds proved much more careful and alert on the road than many of the human drivers who have been featured on these pages...

Subaru Legacy Station Wagon Loses Battle with Icy Road but Avoids the Worst


Sometimes, not even Subaru's acclaimed all-wheel drive system can help make an icy road passable, though, in this particular case, we wouldn't be surprised to learn that the Legacy Station Wagon was betrayed by the poor condition of its tires. Read more »

Watch a DIY Nissan Juke R from Russia Hit the 1/4 Mile in 10.48"


The original Nissan Juke R with a twin-turbocharged V6 heart transplant from last year's GT-R that beats to the tune of 545-horses is no doubt one of the craziest and fastest crossovers ever to be offered for sale by any car manufacturer.

It's also one of the most expensive as it carries a price tag of €500,000 or close to US$650,000 at today's exchange rates.

But it isn't alone when it comes to insanely powerful Jukes as one Russian owner has created his own vision of the Juke R fitted with an unspecified engine pushing out 750-horses.

That Doesn't Look Like a Road Where this SUV is Heading At…


Thanks to the fact that a great number of Russian drivers have their dashboard cameras rolling all the time, we have the chance to watch all the weird things that take place on- and in some instances, off the road.

This video takes us to Vladivostok and a white SUV that was filmed rolling down a steep road but failed to turn left or right at the crossing Instead, the vehicle continued its way and tumbled down the hill.
