Well let me introduce this thread. Every hour there are so many accidents all over the world. It is many times sad but there are also really funny ones which happenes and not so serieus. So let's start to share pictures of these accidents and other funny situations from roads of our countries!

What about some pics from Slovakia?

Oh man, this was a real adventure, cow in Branisko tunnel!

these trucks with lifting platforms can be dangerous.
this happened in Croatia few years ago. fortunately, he survived and just broke some bone.

^^ Why they didn't close the lane? :eek:

they obviously didn't think about things above the lane, so they had closed only that one where the truck was parked

they obviously didn't think about things above the lane, so they had closed only that one where the truck was parked

Yeah, but they should close just one. I think it is possible to do it in one lane.

In brazil , Really crazy truck accident, it has broken in the middle due a heavy load. What a garbage truck!

^^ Why they didn't close the lane? :eek:
It wasn't practical to close both lanes. What SHOULD have been done, was to have manual traffic control for the open lane. That way, the person controlling traffic could have stopped the truck, in addition to reducing the speed of traffic passing the work area.

And this is why you never overload your vehicle.

manual control is not acceptable at motorways. the most proper thing would be to have the whole half of motorway closed and to organize traffic at the other half. why they didn't do it? probably because of the fact that works on changing regulation of traffic would take them at least 3 hours, and finnising probably the small repair (i think they've been changing burnt bulb) takes 10 minutes.
on the other hand - there is also enough space at emergency lane to bypass working zone. maybe that would be the best solution.

Funny situations you say? How about llamas on the loose on Ireland's busiest motorway interchange?!

Escaped llamas cause Red Cow chaos

A herd of llamas and two goats caused chaos on the M50 this afternoon at the Red Cow roundabout [sic].

The animals escaped from a circus and mader [sic] their way onto the motorway where they caused major traffic disruption, with up to 5km tailbacks reported.

They have since been rounded up and loaded into trucks and traffic in the area has returned to normal.

Estonian hot pursuit (with shots fired and everything):

3kCxxrjFS40

^^^ I have never seen someone jump out of a moving car before, it looks like there were more likely worse off than if they hadn't. The woman who bailed out of the black car was nearly ran over, the last one in that pileup must have hit their own door badly and the British ones nearly ended up underneath as the car span around. They really need to teach people how to drive in icy conditons, you could see many who have clamped on the brakes even though they are sliding and even steering out when it is clearly not doing anything at all.

lol, I didn't get why they just didn't overtake him.. and this was the first time what I heard Estonian and it sounds like Spanish mixed with Hungarian, no offence : )

Watch this! 80 years old driver was driving 10 km in worong direction on motorway D1 in the capital of Slovakia - Bratislava.. :D

Estonian hot pursuit (with shots fired and everything):
I've seen one slower. Too bad I never had my camera. Local police trying to pull an elderly driver over, most likely for impeding traffic. Average estimated speed: 15-20 km/h. Watched the whole thing go through the contra flow I had set up to allow some roadworks to take place.

Quite some fun watching those poor SUV drivers attempt to scale this grade :D

And that's why we don't use concrete on roads in Norway!:nuts:

Lol, I hate SUV cars - too big for city, crap for off road and totaly unuseful.. :nuts:

Only if you get a two-wheel-drive model. Anything with 4x4 is a lot better off-road or in snow or ice, but a lot of people get a SUV for the size, passenger capacity, etc, in which case I recommend a van. I'd prefer something like a Jeep Patriot - very good off road, good fuel economy for its group (22mpg), and low price for its group (midsize SUV)

What about that woman and car? :D

qMyZAZNdAm0&

And that's why we don't use concrete on roads in Norway!:nuts:

The fact that the street is concrete had noting to do with it. Seattle is right at sea level, and has a warm winter climate. Throw in the fact that the city's Transportation department didn't act fast enough... AGAIN :bash: And that was the result. Interstate 5, was gridlocked for nearly 10 hours from about 1500-0000. Many simply abandoned their vehicles. Some returned to find vandals had struck, smashing out side windows.

Doesn't matter what kind of car you have, if you don't have the proper tires and aren't skilled in driving in those conditions you can slide regardless like the Acura SUV had AWD, made no difference.

This one is my favorite hillarious, very slow....

^^ similar to this, a big crane of Budapest fire dept. fell over in the castle district, near the National Gallery. The crane was lifting a huge crate into the building containing the Christ-trilogy by Mihály Munkácsy. Fortunately the crate was already empty when the accident happened. Nobody was hurt, but a car was totally smashed:

he was empty fortunately. and he hadn't been stucked with whole roof, but i think only with climatic agregate.
the bus was brand new with only few thousand km's. insurnce company was very happy :D
btw, i remember that article. driver was experienced, as said one of the best in that company, not drunk, and he never took that route. he didn't know why did he go there.
the boss of the company told that he wouldn't fire him, he was generally too good driver, beside that stupid accident.
it is actually one of those proves that stupid things could happen to anyone.

he was not reversing nor road ascents, he released some air from the tyres :)

^^ similar was a tragic accident with 2 victims in Budapest, February 2006. On the expressroad leading to Ferihegy airport, the top of a Serbian bus was torn down by a height-limit gate. What is strange that the gate was after the underpass, which the bus went through without problems. The gate before the underpass was demolished earlyer by another vehicle...

omg, now i understand why those height measuring limitators are usually made of some light nylon material. this hungarian height limitator is really a limitator!

The guy tried to make a u-turn due to a traffic accidents 300 meters ahead. He got stuck, and ended up blocking the road for all, even the paramedics on their way to the real accident. They had to climb past the bus, and walk to the accident site. This happened on a major national road. IQ-check, please!:ohno:

Poor planning by the bridge makers. The height of those trucks is standard, they just should have built the bridge a little higher.

Maybe it wasn't standard at the time the bridge was built. You'd be surprised how old a lot of bridges are.

But you'd think that after so many incidents they'd consider increasing the height of the bridge :).

Yeah exactly, it is much easier to adapt road under it even if it is just a few cm.

Or they simply do not have money to do either solution (a.k.a. the American way).

Could be an error on the height sign. That was a problem at the northern approach to the Lions Gate Bridge connecting Vancouver and North Vancouver. Ministry of Transportation officials thought there was more overhead clearance than there really was. Trucks traveling west along Marine Drive would get stuck. The signs have been corrected.

wow now that's really stupid...


what i don't understand in moscow is that they got these massive ten lane roads, and they allow traffic to cross it without any trafficlights? why? they could avoid a lot of these accidents. of course they like to run red lights and go in the opposite lane and all that, but its sad to see accidents happening because of the lack of traffic lights and bad planning of roads and junctions.

History of one crossroad in Moscow:

KFsnelPfnaE



another one i don't understand. this road is clearly a main road, you can see the yellow diamond sign, but i can't see a yield sign for the other road, wtf? of course everyone crashes if everyone thinks they are on a main road and have right of way. there can't all be drunk, not even in russia :D this looks like everyone thinks they're good to go
(edit: correct me if there is a yield sign, not visible on the vid. anyone familiar with the place?)
/edit no.2: OR is the main road turning right? that would explain it i guess/

Looks like the video by CNN of the white van crash simply landed on a large ant hill sending 2-legged ants running, wait, im being told those are people...:omg:

And the BMW on the rails, looks like the driver wanted to bypass the stopped traffic, then only got so far before the tire blew out (as one can see in the last photo)

cars on railroad or tram tracks are not that rare actually :D

Even removing it was quite problematic.

I'd say that the driver was going "too fast for conditions" and slid off the road after hitting an icy patch and losing control.

another one i don't understand. this road is clearly a main road, you can see the yellow diamond sign, but i can't see a yield sign for the other road, wtf? of course everyone crashes if everyone thinks they are on a main road and have right of way. there can't all be drunk, not even in russia :D this looks like everyone thinks they're good to go
(edit: correct me if there is a yield sign, not visible on the vid. anyone familiar with the place?)
/edit no.2: OR is the main road turning right? that would explain it i guess/

There is a yield sign there, but it`s not visible on the video.

Main road leading to the port, so there's a lot of heavy duty traffic. When they closed it for reconstruction all that traffic was diverted to a street that was not designed for it and last I drove there it looked like those vids and pics.

There was a road in Portugal where they removed the top layer of the surface and then they just left it like that for several months until they finally put the top layer again.

funny thing is, i almost always see the same behaviour by ppl in suzuki swifts at 50 kph, they just cut the line because theyre lazy

There was a road in Portugal where they removed the top layer of the surface and then they just left it like that for several months until they finally put the top layer again.

at least thats a smooth surface

they did a reconstruction here with 2 layers applied in autumn and the 3rd only during next spring

It wasn't smooth :lol:

There was a road in Portugal where they removed the top layer of the surface and then they just left it like that for several months until they finally put the top layer again.

i don't think the two are in the same league. in the cases like you mentioned only the top layer needs to be changed (ok it's not smooth, but you can still drive on it when its removed). in this case absolutely everything has to be reconstructed from the foundations upwards, and quite visibly its very hard to drive without wrecking your car. I was surprised that a high traffic road doesn't have priority and is left to reach a stage this bad.

There is another road in Portugal, in the council of Montemor-o-Velho with a surface as bad as that, but it has a lot less traffic.

History of one crossroad in Moscow:

Moscow accidents (not funny):
FSv93CgfpIo

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with those people?

Yeah, it seems it's easier for them to find their horn than their brakes...

And the concept of a red light eludes them as well, it seems.

Greetings,
Glodenox

I'm amazed by the stupidity of people...

People seem to run the red light a lot at high speed. Maybe the clearance time of the intersection is not enough. People start driving at the moment the traffic light runs from red to orange (and then to green), while people from another direction try to cross a red light.

I think it's mainly mentality and inexperience, but some problems may be avoided by checking the traffic light phases and clearance time. Red light cameras can also reduce accidents. Intoxicated drivers may be another problem.

It is also a good idea to install Jersey barriers along major multilane highways. Some have more than 4 lanes per direction and no separation whatsoever. They don't stop accidents from happing, but will reduce them for oncoming traffic.

Also in Germany people starts from the traffic lights when they turn orange from red, but there are much fewer accidents like these. I don't think clearance time is key here.

The main problem, I bet.

A wheel lost probably because trailer was old. It had Soviet trailer plate of the Moscow city, issued in the end of 80s.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with those people?
Yeah, it seems it's easier for them to find their horn than their brakes...

And the concept of a red light eludes them as well, it seems.
A: Moscow is in Russia. Russians have a taste for all things alcoholic, though this is SLOWLY, starting to change. Therefore, most, if not all the drivers were under the influence. The orange dump truck is the apparent exception. It appeared to have no brakes.

As for the pedestrians. I have no sympathy for their stupidity. They deserved what they got.

Yeah, it seems it's easier for them to find their horn than their brakes...


i think the audio was fake/added to the video, because a lot of the audio sounded the same to each incident.

nonetheless it seemed those incidents in Moscow would be something we would see in a police chase in America.

i think the audio was fake/added to the video, because a lot of the audio sounded the same to each incident.


It is, because traffic cameras don't have microphones (why would they?)

did he hit the truck and then another truck hit him from behind? i don't get it, its too crushed to tell
Yes, of course. That's the kind of accident that scares me more, being crushed between two trucks. Even the safest car cannot protect you. Sh*t.:ohno:

What they do in America for such traffic light phasing is when the || direction turns from green>yellow>red, the == direction stays red for a moment to allow leadfoots to get by on the || direction, and then the == direction immediately turns green with no previous indication unless you can see the traffic light for the || direction, which you usually can since traffic lights are typically placed on the far side of the intersection from the traffic they're meant for.

And as far as those nasty videos of Russian car accidents, I'm pretty sure bad road design is a major factor there. Insufficient signage, no traffic light, not to mention bad drivers...

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with those people?
I have seen many (a lot) videos from youtube and other videos with crashes from Moscow streets day and night and i also wonder what's going on up there... why so many crashes (like in those 2 videos for examble)?

Vodka and drugs...

Vodka and drugs...

how clever -_-

Too bad it's just true. Sure, bad road design will probably have something to do with it as well, but with these accidents it's obvious that the drivers were just plain stupid, probably due to, as I said, alcohol and drugs.

And for the pedestrians: I've seen a guy just crossing a street with cars coming and having to make emergency stop here in Tallinn as well. They just don't have their minds straight, either due to mental ilness, alcohol or drugs. I can't think of anything else.

They just don't have their minds straight, either due to mental ilness, alcohol or drugs. I can't think of anything else.

Don't underestimate plain stupidity. The world is so full of stupids, more than one would think.

lot more stupid people then drugged up ones.
anyway if you know anything about drugs, you know it isn't like they make it look on tv. you don't go up the roof and try to fly immediately after a joint or a trip (well, it has happened but that's due to the same thing: stupidity), if anything, then it's alcohol that gets you more aggressive and less careful.

Yes,you are right. We have low level of driving culture. Nowdays situation in capitals is better than 5-10 years ago, but in provinces is the same.

Yes, they need. But because of high level of corruption in the police, it's not a big problem to get license.

^^ I will never say bad things to italian drivers again... well not for a while.

Some days ago I was driving thru Bologna, Italy, and stopped at a railway intersection with barriers down. On the other lane a man riding a bicycle crossed the intersection anyway, so when he passed by my car I gave him a loud ironic applause. He was out of his mind and started screaming "What the f*ck do you want? Mind your own f*cking business" and went away.

I can't help but thinking that if Italy is the mess it is, people like him are to blame...

It's not really that bad, I don't think that it's dangerous (although that blue Fiat that came fromt he fas tlane was being a bit risky). Once my uncle missed the exit for Porto airport when he was taking me, my parents and my aunt to the airport, so he pulled over and reversed a bit. He drives a seatbeltless (in the back) 1980's Fiat Uno as well :lol:. His wife (another aunt) died the other day :(

i actually support people who block idiots who are trying to bypass the queue using an emergency lane.

I don't, it's vigilante justice. You cannot judge whether it's someone trying to bypass a traffic jam illegally, of if it is someone from EMS driving a civil vehicle.

LOL! The man at the and is policeman?

Yes,he is policeman.

there was similar situation here in zagreb few years ago when there was some crappy summit of some walruses who thought they ruled the world. police haven't make good announcment about possible traffic problems, so thousands of cars remained blocked on the streets. they've been escaping on all possible way. most popular was using the tram tracks, different green areas, and i remember that a concrete mixer stucked in that crowd, and to protect his machine he had to throw full load of fresh concrete in the middle of an avenue :lol:

^^ What's the purpose of a roundabout without physical delimitation?

The purpose is probably the same as a regular roundabout :D But it really doesn't work. I know many of those tight Dutch roundabouts where the inside is partially flattened to allow trucks to pass and many people just cut right across it to avoid excessive slowing down for no reason.

There are many of them in England but I have never seen one in Slovakia.

The ones in America with a raised center use a curb around the inner edge of the travel lane so it's obvious that you shouldn't drive there, but it's wide and sloped so that it won't damage tires, also anything special in the center takes up relatively little of the available space because there is a wide cement area around it to protect it from tractor-trailers.

In Britain mini roundabouts have been a cheap solution from about the 90s onwards at busy-ish intersections which used to be dangerous give ways without traffic lights - I think in that context (though not ideal) they're a big improvement and work OK, but maybe that's because we are already the undisputed roundabout world champions so drivers are very used to them.

The main problem with that German example was that the circle was far too big and the space to drive round it too small

There should be a sign: "Mind the hill"

:D

^^^ Those aftermarket stretch limo conversions are lethal. They are really badly converted often without anything more than structural improvements to cope with the extra length and weight. The turning circle on them is terrible as the steering rack is only meant to cope with a short vehicle. There seems to be a glut of them in my home town, it seems everyone is out for some easy money and it no longer seems in the least bit appealing. Once I saw one mount a pavement while turning a corner and nearly take several manically waving passengers' arms off on a lamppost.

And quite frankly riding in limos is just lame. Can't think of anything less classy.

they build all that infrastructure, but can't build a remote control barrier/crossing gate?
the signs are obvious enough of course, but people break rules and they probably didn't expect a special road with no middle :)

anyway serves them right hehe

^^ Its first time to see those busway lines, i didnt knew that; now a control barrier i think is needed a lot...

The white van driver may pretend his vehicle is a small bus. One may think a "busway" is meant for all kind of buses.
