Clips of, in some case shocking accidents captured on camera in SE Asia, link blatantly stolen from another forum :)


I think we need these in car cams here?
 
What the heck at the guy at 2:10? He spots how badly the guy is driving, its obvious he's a prune yet he still manages to crash into him when he goes to undertake?!
 
Never noticed but some of the links on the right have some real graphic content, so you have been warned.

What's up with people driving on the wrong side of dual carriage ways? :confused:

In India, if a few milliseconds can be saved then driving up the wrong side of a dual carriageway is perfectly acceptable, my driver scared the crap out me when I was last there 2 years ago. Told him I'd pay him extra if he got me and my family there in one piece.
 
Good to see it's not just UK drivers that seem to have had a frontal lobotomy when driving in snow.
 
Totally believe it as I was in Chengdu in China last month.

Our driver thought it was acceptable to be in the middle lane on a six lane intersection..........................on the wrong side of the road.

He then got angry because someone in the left lane on the correct side of the road tried to turn left in front of him - pretty similar to like some of the accidents in the video.

It's total chaos out there for a city with 15.5 million people in it.

However, it sort of works because over here many accidents happen through complacency. Over there you have to drive/ride defensively from the moment you get in/on.

Organised chaos if you will.

I won't even start on being a pedestrian.

Yep, I go over to Wuhan and Shenzhen a few times a year and the general standard of driving is simply amazing. Every time I get into a taxi I always feel it's like playing roulette, and it seems that if taxi drivers have western passengers they tend to make an extra special effort to terrify them.

Even better virtually none of the taxis have working rear seat belts, not that it would matter as they are all Chinese built Citroen ZX saloons or VW Santanas with enormous Chinese made LPG tanks in the boot. Would probably be classed as a weapon of terror in the UK :D
 
The car crash videos on that Twisternederland channel are shocking. Some of the Russian ones make me laugh because you can see the accident about to happen and you think "this guy may want to take evasive action now", but the driver speeds up and drives straight for the other car like they want to crash on purpose.

Makes me glad I don't drive there, and if I did I'd want to be driving around in a complete shed just incase.
