Most of those were examples of stupidity, both the drivers and pedestrians. People think that they can drive fast even in poor weather conditions. True, they can but can they control their car? The sad thing is, innocents are often victims of these idiots. This was Russia but the same stuff happens were I live. I've been on the highway many times in winter going just over the speed limit only to be passed by someone going 80 MPH or more. All it takes is a patch of ice to cause an accident crash.

unfortunately this is what most of us see every day in the cities

some people thinks that they are walking inside their houses

others drive like there is no one else on the street or like it was a private road

while some of those accidents were caused by the snow or rain, lots of those situations were just careless behavior

i remember someone saying "i am not in a hurry, i want to get there alive" when asked why he drove slowly

the advice at the end is correct, slow down please!

I've been in a car crash, not pretty. Sometimes people fall asleep at the wheel, sometime it's drunk driving or texting while driving.

just thought of that, great minds think alike  ;D

"Sometimes people fall asleep at the wheel"

one of the accidents on the video seemed like just that, a red car just kept moving to the left without a reason

"I've been in a car crash, not pretty"

yes, i have been in a couple of those, one was reckless driving on a bus and hit a platform, another was the driver of the bus competing with another bus(he forgot that the road wasn't only for him) and suddenly we ended crashing with a taxi

another one with a friend learning to drive and suddenly a platform came from nowhere :-X

fortunately never ended injured from those

WHOA !

I hate when that happens.

I can't remember when my insides felt like they do right now. My stomach is in knots. Not much affects me like that. Like others have said it makes you not want to go out on the road anymore.

Thank you for posting this smileeb.

Some times I take driving for granted and probally get angry at the wheel more than I should. If this video only makes me think and slow down a bit and pay more attention, it was worth viewing it. It may not stop me from crashing someday but maybe I can do my part and not contribute to the mayhem.

I can't believe that really bothered me. Damn.........

I have seen people in this forum praising bikers who rides at full speed in the city, OK, this is what happens when you are not careful and things go wrong, even if you are only walking in the streets .
