Well, no video, but a UK example. Not driver's fault- because satnav did not show the roundabout that she drove into.

satnav failed to register a roundabout in the Czech Republic

i might be wrong but while shes British (and possibly the driver) I'm not sure the crash was.

Fair point, but it still shows it's not just Russians.
No doubt she was within the speed limit, so can't have been driving too fast, can she ? (!)

Reminds me of a big pile up some years ago in thick fog, in England somewhere, when a reporter asked one of the drivers what he thought happened, he blamed the police, when he asked how he figured that out, the driver said the signs saying "Fog" hadn't been turned on, reporter said but you can see the fog, but he was adamant as the signs weren't on, that was the problem.

What is it with all the late late exits? why risk so much just to save a nano second of your journey, it makes no sense whatsoever. Maybe they look up from facebook an realise they are about to miss the exit.

I also get upset at other drivers and occasionally sound the horn, maybe shout or stick one or two fingers up but how does it manage take over someones life like the blue Audi towards the end? Surely there are more important things to do.

fking showing everything whats wrong with horses on the road, ample opportunities to pull over but he has a fk you attitude to everyone.

10:30 nearly did humanity a favour there. When two idiots meet.

5:48 is funny.

Just for a change, some considerate driving caught on cam, including a nice bit of merge in turn @2:30 on a roundabout.

Could well read the big smash up on the M5 near Taunton when it was foggy combined with a fireworks display.

It is beyond ridiculous and so easily avoidable. People kept driving at typical motorway speeds in severely reduce visability and then tried to pin all the blame on the fireworks organisers.

I'm fairly certain in the end the coroner disagreed and said the fireworks were not responsible an people weren't driving to the conditions so people then started blaming the police and I think that's also when someone announced the signs werent telling people it's foggy. You shouldn't need a sign to make people aware that they will struggle to see!!!!

Maybe they could be set to DARK to help people out also.

That towing compilation was frigging brilliant, the one with the Renault truck trying to pull a boat up a slipway is great!

That's actually a really st junction which needs re-signing. No excuse for the fast one, but the late move is understandable.

Possibly the M4 Hungerford crash back in 1991. I remember a TV interview with the police who said they were on route to the accident on blues and twos, driving to the conditions and were still being overtaken by people doing 70mph.

The motorway hazrad lights not being used are mentioned here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_M4_motorway_cra...

Since you all enjoyed the botched recoveries, a few off road fails.

How not to do a hill decent, keep off the brake and steer straight down the fall line.

For Germany that’s mostly crap driving. Flashing people out of junctions just is not the norm and if you do it people just look at you funny. Main beam is for alerting others to your presence and nothing more.

The number of utter retards who drive onto the guided busway is ridiculous - they manage to miss several signs on posts, big painted words on the road surface at the approaches, and the fact that it looks nothing like a road.
