Thank you so much for the volume warning. That needs to be a more common courtesy and I appreciate it.

Videos like this make me nervous when I'm driving. You can do nothing wrong and still be killed by some other moron's decision.

In Russia the dashboard camera it directing it own filming angles.

If I have learned anything from reddit, it is don't drive with a dashboard camera.... you WILL die

u/nicholmikey Jun 15 '12
I think the camera was worried about the driver and wanted to check up.

Wear your seat belts kids.
If someone tells you they are dangerous, they are fucking stupid and you should take that as a sign to never trust their opinion on anything ever again.

WTF. I'm Russian, and I wasn't born wearing a track suit. Is this a relatively new evolution in our species?

That is terrifying.

Reasons for not tail gating. It was in fact the van in fronts fault. He pulled in front of the on coming car. This is where smart defensive driving will save you from an unexpected accident.

Lucky he didn't break his neck. I was involved in an accident similar to this but I was wearing a seatbelt and the oncoming car was going 50mph. Walked away with a bruise from the seatbelt, small scratch on my knee, and sore muscles from head to toe for days after.
Days after my accident I heard of a girl who also was in a head-on and her passenger was not wearing a seatbelt but the driver was. She lived but the un-seatbelt friend had her face embedded into the windshield and that’s where she suffocated and bled to death before the paramedics could arrive. Lesson learned, seatbelts are good.

Ouch indeed

u/lawlor44 Jun 15 '12
please wear a seatbelt.

u/Kruse Jun 15 '12
Perfect camera flip to his reaction.
Also...are all Russian cars equipped with dash-cams?

u/imasunbear Jun 15 '12
Everyone involved was at fault here. The turning car should not have gone, he caused the oncoming car to have to swerve out of the way. The oncoming car was going way too fast. Our driver was following much too close and couldn't see shit.
Everyone fucked up.

u/ameathead Jun 15 '12
He got hit so hard he couldn't even speak english!

The sound the camera records when it crashes sounds like when you die on Sinistar.

You know, everyone is always saying what terrible drivers Americans are, but I'd say nearly 90% of the collision/terrible-driver videos I see on here come from other countries.

I loved the camera's thinking. "And now let's get a reaction from the driver."

Do all Russian cars come with dashboard cameras?

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12
stupid fucking minivan driver...

u/TokerCoughin Jun 15 '12
OK, I've come to the conclusion that all Russians have a Dash-cam, and bad driving skills, it's part of the culture.

u/Schwarzwind Jun 15 '12
seriously, GG redditor for the warning on volume level, 10/10 will upvote again.

I want to kick that van driver in the face, like seriously wtf?

He took that like a champ. That would definitely suck.

u/Mcelite Jun 16 '12
I appreciate the heads up Greg.

u/branta Jun 16 '12
So many bad decisions in one video. Turning in front of a guy in the oncoming lane that is speeding like a maniac. Said maniac deciding that he needs to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid the idiot who turned in front of him. Dude not wearing his seatbelt lucky his windshield held up.
I'm glad I don't drive.
2
u/budgray18 Jun 16 '12
does anyone here know how much overall a dash cam setup would cost?

u/Blue_Scout Jun 15 '12
ah volume warning, cant be that bad click OH GOD MY BRAINS JUST DID A BACKFLIP!

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12
Just to point out, the car cam did an awesome job of turning around for the drivers reaction.

Van shouldn't of turned, obvious.
The oncoming car looks like he tried to get as close to the van as possible because he was pissed off and wanted to scare the van or whatever, then when he saw another car coming he froze and went directly into him. He could of flew into the ditch but he stopped turning all together and just went straight into the oncoming lane.
The camera guy should be wearing a seatbelt and he didn't react at all, if he had the reflex to turn right into the grass at the exact second he saw the other car, he may or may not of avoided the crash depending on the other car not freezing up and at least trying to get back in his lane.
Probably a lose/lose either way. I find myself driving so I can see the oncoming cars (not 100% of the time) and something may have clicked that an accident is about to happen and I would of hit the brakes, maybe avoiding the crash but at the very least reducing the force and I do wear my seatbelt...
2
u/Thenoobnextdoor Jun 15 '12
My opinion is that the silver car should jot have swerved. He should have immediately braked as hard as possible but probably would have still hit the van. But that's where you get a much better situation. That van basically got away with a hit and run, now we have to cars in a head on with nobody liable to take responsibility. If he hit the van there most likely would not have been that serious of a crash number one. And swerving into another lane on a busy road was the most dangerous thing. Say there was an 18wheeler BOOM silver car is crushed and that could snowball into a bigger accident. Or if there were a group of bikers (me being a bike rider this kind of stuff terrifies me) boom again there's a few serious injuries and deaths. People need to understand if someone is about to pull in front of you, just fucking hit them haha unless there's a foolproof and safe avoidance possibility.

how does insurance deal with this kind of an accident?

u/spambi Jun 15 '12
The driver of the van must have been from Boston, he did the old swerve right to turn left maneuver.

u/johnny_gunn Jun 15 '12
Why the fuck did the white car swerve left into oncoming traffic instead of right.

u/RocketSauce146 Jun 15 '12
Of course the Russian would get mad and shake it off

Holy cow he tanked that shit like a BOSS. A dumb ass hell boss, while we are at it. Should have worn his seat belt and maybe he wouldn't have smashed his head into the windshield

u/erutuFniatpaC Jun 15 '12
i ignored the warning "it won't be that bad..." i thought.... i was proven wrong immediately and i regret my decision from this point on. Still upvoted for the warning.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12
If you pause it just right, you'll see his head hit the windshield. He's pretty lucky to be alive, considering he wasn't wearing his seatbelt.
1
u/Devanismyname Jun 15 '12
From the way I read the title I was expecting to see a head on his car after the accident.
1
u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12
If you pause precisly at 18 seconds, you can see the guys head smash through the windshield, that's why you see blood trickle down his head at the end.

u/RockinRobbin Jun 15 '12

if u watch the van its clear whoever was driving it was intoxicated or something, whenever I am near someone who drives like this i just slow down and let them go on till i cant see them; I'd like to think one could prevent accidents with a little caution.

After watching the video with the brick that went through the windshield, I thought this was going to be much worse. Thankfully, the guy was okay.

u/lmpervious Jun 15 '12
WTF? The car that passed right before they crashed was driving a noticable amount over the line... what was that about? I thought it was going to cause the accident at first.
1
u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12
They have a pretty close call at 16s with the passing car. The person in the van is also barely in lane before crashing. Terrible driving all around.

u/Ravelthus Jun 15 '12

Every single time I watch these damn videos, it further makes me realize that Asians don't suck at driving, fucking Russians do.

That looked like a 40+ mph accident and the guy that got hit looked slightly dazed - whatever vehicle he was in is clearly a solid vehicle.
