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.

Damaged McLaren MP4-12C Pops up for Sale, would You Buy it?

Ron Dennis' newest creation, the McLaren MP4-12C, only went on sale in Europe this past spring but we're already seeing the first crashed examples showing up on the used car market.

This silver colored MP4-12C was registered in Holland on August 2011 and covered only 4,000 kilometers (2,486 miles) before its owner drove it into what may have been a ditch judging by the dirt up front and the damage to the car.

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.

Utah Man Wins Lamborghini Murcielago in Contest, Crashes it 6 Hours Later [Videos]

There are many reasons why only rich people buy supercars: it’s not just the price but the cost of living with, or repairing, one. It’s a risk any second-hand car buyer is taking, as our earlier story about a HUGE Ferrari F355 engine repair bill proves.

On the other hand, if someone actually offered you a supercar, let’s say a Lamborghini, for free would you actually turn it down? Of course not; you’d just grab the keys, buckle up in the driver’s seat and fire up the engine.

Well, that’s exactly what happened to David Dopp, a 34-year old truck driver living in Santaquin, a town of 9,000 residents near Salt Lake City, Utah. He won a US$358,000 Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster in a “Joe Schmo to Lambo” contest that was sponsored by Maverik convenience stores.

Scary Motorcycle Accident Caught on Rider's Helmet Camera as it Happened [NSFW]

Motorcycle accidents are often very severe for the simple reason that there's no buffer zone between the rider and the vehicle (or the road), which makes them all the more terrifying to watch when they're captured on tape.

You can multiply the feeling by about ten when the camera happens to be mounted on the helmet of the motorcyclist involved in the crash…

Oh, Yes he Did: Miami Cop Drives Police Cruiser up a Pole [Video]

The only recent comparable accident that comes to mind upon seeing this Miami police cruiser in what can only be described as an embarrassing position, is the New Hampshire incident back in February when a Ford Fusion landed and stayed on its face in a snow bank.

We're told by ABC News that police officer J. Brutus was driving near the intersection of NW 6th Avenue and 67th street in Miami when he allegedly looked down to grab a pen that had fallen but when he looked up, he found himself…staring at the sky!

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.

TomTom's Christmas Tale of Slippery Accidents [Video]

Things can get pretty nasty really fast (or at least very interesting) on the road during the Christmas / Holiday season for those living in cold northern climates where snow and ice are common.

But sometimes, mishaps can also be quite amusing if you're simply watching them from the other side of the road.

Car navigation system specialist, TomTom, has compiled a video with a host of vehicle accidents caught on camera during the winter holidays. The video is waiting for you right after the break.

Woman gets Trapped in a Kia Rio Swallowed by a Sinkhole in New Hampshire

It's a pretty scary situation if you think about it; while you're driving in the middle of a city street, the road suddenly opens and swallows up your car leaving you trapped inside with water pumping out from the ground around you.

But that's what happened to a woman in a Kio Rio sedan when she approached the intersection at Beech and North Streets in Manchester's North End just after 6 a.m. on Monday. What looked like a puddle turned out to be a sinkhole that trapped her car.

Naked Hummer Limo Thief Attempts to Run Away from the Police but is Caught by Dog [Video]

And just when you thought you've seen and heard it all, you run across another crazy story. According to ITN News, this latest bizarre incident took place in southern California on Saturday night when a naked man reportedly stole a Hummer stretch limousine at gunpoint.

After the vehicle's chauffeur notified the police, officers on the ground with the help of a police helicopter from above were somehow able to quickly spot the stolen Hummer (as it turns out, a stretch Hummer isn't as inconspicuous as the thief may have thought…) and began pursuit.

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.

Chuck Norris Approved: Man Flies Out of Truck Window but Walks to Tell Another Tale

Seatbelts are there for a reason and that is to save the lives of passengers and the driver alike. Now, you'd think that in this day and age, anyone without a death wish would use them.

In this incident, a large lorry violates a red light ramming an oncoming truck at the intersection.
As a result, the driver (or the passenger, we're not sure) who obviously wasn't wearing his seatbelt, was flung out of the windshield. Amazingly, the man got up on his feet and walked away, slightly injured but nevertheless, alive. The crash happens approximately 50 seconds into the video which you can watch after the break.

Ford Mustang GT Does Not Have Wings, Plunges from the Third Story of Swiss Parking Garage

An unnamed 24-year old driver of a new Ford Mustang 5.0 GT from Switzerland turned a humdrum parking job into a life-threatening situation when he went through the concrete wall of the third story of a parking garage in the Swiss city of Lugano on Monday.

The car fell from a height of around 15 meters (approx. 50 feet) before it came crashing down to the ground on some protective metal bars and a small tree.

Miraculously, the young man suffered only minor bruises and abrasions from the plunge and was released from the hospital he had been taken in.
