Pearoast.

someone posted this over the weekend.

He is still a jammy bd though, looke like the only thing that saved him was the fact he didnt have a seatbelt on!

What an absolute though, generally people that drive like that end up killing other people.

I see idiots like that all the time trying to switch from lane to lane while cutting other people up to make progress.

Hard b@sterds, these Russians.

Omg!!

[ruff'n'smov]

Epic.

don't forget there's 2 in the front before the impact, and the space where one of them was aint there anymore

Not helped by the fact the lorry driver (camera vehicle) accelerated and closed the gap, helping to cause the accident

Yeah drivers like that are equally stupid, I sometimes get that when overtaking, the driver seems to get offended and suddenly speeds up.

Luckily in some cases my car is actually faster but it could be pretty dangerous.

I just watched the video again, does that car clip the camera car? It looks like that, but he might have simply just lost control.

I think it was the bus slowing, you can see the brake lights coming on

some good compilations coming out, Russians are generally crazy, makes for good internet.

[Petrolhead_Rich]

Bus was slowing, car decided to cut up camera vehicle (truck maybe?)

Anyway, if you look at 0:35, there are quite clearly two occupants in the front, but only one emerges, possibly lucky passenger, not sure about the driver, at 0:37 the steering wheel emerges from what was the windscreen/A-Pillar!

Still bloody remarkable that the chap who is climbing out survived....

[stevensdrs]

Looks like the driver ended up as canned meat. A miracle that the passenger came out seemingly unscathed.

[DHE]

Amazed anyone could survive that.

[AndyJRB]

Yep, looks like there were two people in the car so it looks as though the passenger is the lucky one and unfortunately the driver is another statistic. Was going to make a glib comment about Lada/Russian build quality but best not.

Yes, dreadful!

Sometimes videos like this show us just how sensible (as a rule) we are here.

Yep if you freeze frame it, there are 2 people in there
