Poor GTR.

Probably should've stopped.... at a speed like that it could've been lethal. But then again.....

GARDAI HAVE RELEASED footage to TheJournal.ie as part of their operation to reduce the number of accidents on Dublin’s roads.

The operation was launched yesterday in the hope of reducing the number of cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists that become casualties.

Research has shown that the months of October and November can prove particularly dangerous to road users.

Sheet of paper that appears at 0:28 in first video says "September 29, 2012, GT-R Run". What do you suppose that means?

It means they were on a GT-R run

if you can read that sheet that appears for a millisecond fair play,

but they could have being in any six cylinder car, after all there was a lotus on the run too.

Oh.

A pootle in the countryside followed by a cream tea?

The driver of the 'camera car' did seem in a bit of a hurry, though, overtaking as he did on an incline just before a traffic circle.

I saw this on Sky News last night.

Just wondering something here.

If that power pole or wires had have impacted on any marshals and spectators and they were killed or badly injured,then who would be liable for their injuries,hospital bills and any compensation??

Would it be the WRC themselves or a 3rd party??

Thanks.:)

I would guess the WRC has public liability insurance for such an event.

I watched episode 5 of the current series of Mad Men the other evening. The episode title is "Signal 30" which refers to the 1959 road safety film that one of the main characters, Pete Campbell, is required to watch as part of his driver training. "Signal 30" is police code for a fatal crash, and I gather it may still be in use.

The opening titles give a flavour of the approach the US authorities thought was appropriate 50 years ago, and for many years afterwards apparently: "nothing has been staged, these are actual scenes taken immediately after the accidents occurred." Nowadays we wouldn't dream of using such invasive shock tactics, or so I believe, and we rely instead on technical wizardry in attempt to produce more or less the same effect.

The original 27-minute film is available on YouTube, and has this Content Advisory notice attached:

Historical driving safety film featuring numerous scenes of wrecked cars and injured / dead people. Produced in cooperation with the Ohio State Highway Patrol and shown to millions of young drivers for over 40 years. CONTENT ADVISORY: Many disturbing scenes of violent deaths and accident scenes; cries of crash victims on soundtrack. One of several Driver's Education films produced by Highway Safety Films, filmed at actual auto accident scenes and consisting largely of color closeups of mangled accident victims.

Here's the first 6'50". If you are of a very nervous disposition do not watch it at all. If you are in any way squeamish, do not watch it beyond 6:00.

Damn. Reminded me of the aftermath of an accident I came across on the Naas road about 20 years ago, car chopped in two by an artic after crossing over from the 'southbound' lane into a Dublin bound refrigeration tractor trailer.

Single Lady driver. With drunken husband egging her on.

Thought it was part of the alleged car's frame. That thing just disintegrated on impact.

Which video exactly?

On the subject of YouTube crash videos, an awful lot of them seem to be from Russia.

Russia's roads are not the safest, that's for sure, with a fatality rate per 100,000 population around 4-5 times that of safer countries like the UK, Sweden and the Netherlands. Well over a third of fatalities are pedestrians.

But they also seem to use dash cams a lot more too. Maybe it's a legal defence thing...

Target launch now 5:30AM PT/12:30PM GMT on October 9th

A LIVE webcast of the Red Bull Stratos will be live streamed at http://youtube.com/redbull and http://redbullstratos.com

Red Bull Stratos is a mission to the edge of space that will try to surpass human limits that have existed for more than 50 years. Supported by a team of experts, Felix Baumgartner will undertake a stratospheric balloon flight to more than 120,000 feet / 36,576 meters and make a record-breaking freefall jump in the attempt to become the first man to break the speed of sound in freefall (an estimated 690 miles / 1,110 kilometers per hour), while delivering valuable data for medical and scientific advancement.

They have discounts on insurance with dashcam, hence so many movies from there. Also bad roads, bad cars and bad attitude...
