Hagwalah This: Saudi Bus Full of Passengers Drifting

Just when you think you have seen it all from Saudi Arabian drifters, along comes a fresh video to remind you that they will always find a new way to endanger themselves, the crowd and other road users.

So what's more dangerous than a Japanese sedan practicing Saudi style drifting known as 'hagwalah'? Why a bus full of people that insist on not wearing their seatbelts, of course!

Catch the video right past the break.

Fast and Furious Style Highway Bandits Try to Rob Truck in Romania

You all remember how the crew from the Fast and Furious franchise did those ridiculous heists on the highway, right?

A gang from Romania tried to pull off something very similar by driving what looks like an SUV very closely behind a truck on the highway at night (hence the quality of the video).

Once they were close enough to the lorry, two of the wannabe thieves climb out of the vehicle's sunroof in attempt to open the doors and steal whatever it was transporting.

This Was No Russian Joy Ride…

Attempting to overtake a large truck from the right side of the road on a rainy day with a mediocre sedan is obviously a very bad idea.

Given the circumstances of this accident, the Russian driver of the blue sedan should undoubtedly consider himself/herself lucky with this outcome. It could have been worse, much worse…

Watch the video right past the break.

Speeding House Falls in front of a Car on Russian Highway

The last or at least one of the last things you expect to see on the road is a house. Then again, if we are talking about Russia, anything goes…

Like a large truck carrying a small house on its trailer that wasn't tied down securely and fell on the highway with a car smashing right into it.

Seeing is believing so hop over the break for the half-pink-tinted video.

Another Dancing Vehicle, Where Else but in Russia…

Less than two months after we showed you a strange video with a very hip-hoppy truck, a second vehicle has been spotted dancing on the roads of Russia, this time, a yellow passenger (?) van.

If you have 46 seconds to spare, the video awaits your curiosity right after the jump.

This Could Very Well be the World's Smallest Fire Truck

Most of us are used to seeing massive red fire trucks speeding down the road when there is an emergency somewhere nearby.

A big red truck is also what YouTube user Tespadeinator was expecting to come around the corner of his friend's house in the small town of Nobleton in Ontario, Canada, when he heard the fire sirens.

This Accident Could Have Ended Much, Much Worse…

Watching a large truck tip over while negotiating a curve on the road and then seeing it coming towards your way without you being able to react is an experience that no driver would like to face.

That said, this driver should feel extremely fortunate that the only thing damaged in the incident you are about to view in the video below is the front end of his car...

Chuck Norris Approves Pigeon's "This is Sparta" Attitude

It may be small, especially when compared to a high-capacity urban bus, but what this pigeon lacks in size more than compensates with its fearless attitude.

The feathered animal did not even blink an eye when the long bus passed over it and held its ground like a champ or shall we say, just like Chuck Norris would… Short but entertaining video follows below the jump.

the vehicles in the movie War Horse

1911 Vauxhall C type

the above bike is the only vehicle that has recognizeable nameplate or logo, it's a Premiere. It is a 1913 Premiere 500cc. The above is a British character, the below are German

the Internet Car Movie database says the above are 1924 Triumph SD

http://www.imcdb.org/movie_1568911-War-Horse.html for the identification

Ever notice that movies seldom show the variety of vehicle relative to the fuel type? No alcohol, steam, or electric, and I doubt I covered the handful of other fuels... they just can't afford the cars or trucks that are that unusual I suppose. Anything that isn't gasoline probably isn't very easy to get ahold of

Truck Driver Falls Asleep on the Wheel, Kills a Couple of Light Poles in the Process

There are many reasons why drivers fall asleep on the wheel like, oh, let's say the lack of sleep […], but whatever the cause, it usually ends up with a major accident.

Such is the case of a truck driver who reportedly dozed off on a freeway in Russia leading his large vehicle to the opposite side of the road.

Nick, You Might Want to Watch Where You're Going Next Time…

A student from the University of Texas was hit by a bus last Friday while playing a game with foam swords with another group of students. The peppy young man, who we only get to know by his first name of Nick, stepped on the road without looking out for oncoming vehicles.

Unfortunately for Nick, a Capital Metro bus was approaching at the time and smacked him down. On the bright side, the student only suffered minor injuries and was taken to St. David’s Medical Center for precautionary reasons.

Chuck Norris Approved: Driver Bails Out Just Before Truck Crashes

If this camcorder footage is for real - and we cannot stress that enough, then we have a potential candidate for the "Chuck Norris Approved" video of the year award.

The dashboard camera video shows a speeding truck crashing into a series of concrete barriers before it slams into another structure residing in what looks like a park on the side of the road.

What makes this incident amazing is that the truck driver seemingly jumped out of the vehicle seconds before the crash and made it out unhurt. Watch the video after the break and tell us what you think.

Watch a Train Smash Through a Tractor Trailer in North Carolina [Scream Warning]

It is one of a driver's worst nightmares. You are trying to pass through a railroad crossing when for whatever reason, your vehicle is lodged on the tracks just as you hear the train coming...

This horrific scenario came to be for the driver and passenger of a tractor trailer carrying cotton bales in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, last Friday.

The driver, Michael Wilson, and an unnamed passenger were able to jump out of the vehicle in time before it was struck by the train. There were no reported injuries, according to the police.

We are not going to spoil the ending but we will tell you that the person responsible really needs to give their head a very good shake… Video follows after the break.

How Not to Transfer an Expensive Excavator on Sea

Some Greenlanders found a rather innovative but very costly way to create an artificial reef under the sea while attempting to transfer a brand new Manitou excavator to a nearby island on a barge pulled by a tugboat.

Evidently, there was some sort of miscalculation of the weight or the placement of the heavy machine and as a result, the excavator fell into the water. You can watch the video right past the break.

Runaway Speed Bus Singapore-Style Captured on Film

In the 1994 runaway hit film Speed, LAPD officer Jack Traven and Annie Porter - with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in the respective roles, boarded a bus that had to keep moving above 50 miles per hour (80km/h) or a bomb would explode.

In the following incident that was captured by a dashboard camera of an adjacent passenger car along Alexandra Road in Singapore, there was no bomb on board but the full-size bus imitated the film speeding through a red light narrowly missing several vehicles and even a pedestrian crossing the road.
