Interestingly, one of the crashes in this compilation isn’t a car-crash…..it is a plane crash:

CD.
Warren, I have stated many times when I was serving on the Force, that any driver convicted of causing death by dangerous driving, should, as part of his punishment be made to attend a P.M. The smell alone would be enough, without seeing the poor unfortunates victim being cut open.
Sorry to sound morbid, but I actually fainted when I attended my 1st P.M.

A very funny video indeed…

Not sure I’d describe all these clips as ‘funny’…..there must have been some fatalities involved.

Some one tell me how the car ended up standing on its rear bumper.

It drove-over and got caught-up in a fallen overhead trolley-bus power-line.

Two of those I have experienced myself.

I was driving across Nebraska, on country roads, quite some time back and two F-4s passed me from behind about one hundred feet over the road.

The one where the guy drives between two cars coming at him I was in one of those when I was passing some one on an extremely icy foggy day.
I saw the headlights coming and rather than try to get back in my lane and spin I simply drove over to the far left shoulder.

I think that you gents in the U.K. probably have seen some oddities on icy roads.

A very funny video indeed, you just couldn’t make the 3rd one up! 😀

Dash cams are popular in Russia for insurance purposes, but they also serve to record amazing moments – the recent Tupolev crash and meteor strike spring to mind.
