accidents video

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

I would expect this to be removed as clearly people were killed, probably not the right forum for it......sorry just my opinion. :?

Very boring video until about 40 seconds then 4 seconds of "OMG is that really going to happen" then it goes blue.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

I`ve watched this and others like it and it generally makes me think... Thank god I don`t drive in Russia.

They are mad! Innappropriate speed and appauling conditions usually, Thats if the video`s are to be believed! There are a few that make me wonder.

\The next issue is why do they drive round video recording so much, if it isn`t to prove that then accident was caused by some other looney!

My last company car had a camera on the dash for exactly that reason. Apparently it saved them money on insurance. I had a conveniently placed parking sticker so it never recorded anything mind you.

In Russia the Police are corrupt and many of the "witnesses" are also open to bribes. The only way of proving what actually happened is video evidence.

The result is lots of in-car cameras recording lots of carnage.

:shock: It probably didn't end well.

Have a look at the 80 year old fighting off the bad guys with mangos while you're in there, that's much more heartwarming. :lol:
