Roadkill are probably the best episodes on the MotorTrend channel, it's worth watching the rest of them.

I don't understand, are they stupid? Are they reefing the steering wheel when pulling back in to cause it to fishtail everytime?

I've looked at a number of these, and it just seems that the standard of driving in Russia is just awful. They all have to have dash cams for insurance it's that bad. Makes our drivers look pretty good after all

Well there's definitely more crazy mad drivers out there. Though if everyone started using dash cams here in sure we would gather up quiet a library of idiots behind a wheel too

They Don't have to have them it's just Insurance fraud, and scams are so widespread, you are better off with a dashcam, check out the guys who jump out in front of traffic, check out the guy in this link

But agreed if dashcams were more widespread in Ireland we could have our own show on TV3 every week

Someone on here mentioned that we'd see Irish driving as bad as the Russian stuff if we all had dash cams. Fletch has started the ball rolling...

Cui bono?

Looks like he had a sticky end, but not by his own hand.

Very sad to see someone die although I am not surprised in the slightest. He was a lunatic on the road and put a lot of lives in danger from his carry on. His friend passenger in the car has apparently survived thankfully.

He wasn't driving, he was the passenger.

That's what happens when you let your crazy mates borrow you car.

Yeah... It wouldnt surprised me if it turns out he was the one driving and not his mate

On the other hand if he let someone else drive his car and this guy crashed then he should have known better...

Regardless who was driving, when you play with fire...

And TBH when you drive like this two things will likely happen eventually, either you have an accident or you will kill/hurt someone.

You can get away with it for a while but, no matter how good you are, luck will eventually run out one day.. sooner or later

Might sound a bit harsh but what can I say, I was one of them

Lambrecht Chevrolet of Pierce, Neb., was like many Midwestern, small-town dealers — owned and operated by a family, with minimal overhead and little need for advertising since most customers were neighbors. Ray and Mildred Lambrecht ran the dealership with just one employee for 50 years before closing up, and later this year the Lambrechts will sell off a trove of 500-odd vehicles they've held onto over the decades — including roughly 50 with less than 10 miles on their odometers. It's less a car sale than a time capsule auction.
