In this episode of Carscoop’s “Meanwhile in Russia“, we begin with a reckless truck driver trying to overtake another lorry on a two-lane road. No doubt, this could have ended much, much worse if the driver of the oncoming passenger car hadn’t reacted the way he did, ultimately saving his own life.

Our next motorist was not as lucky as he did not have the time or the opportunity to react after a Lada hatchback on another lane began to aquaplane across the road before he crashed right into it.

Apparently, road safety wasn’t a concern for the truck driver of our third video, as the vehicle was carrying so much weight on one side that the front wheel on the driver’s side was up in the air.

The final clip for today shows a driver in a hurry to pass a taxi at an intersection before a BMW X5 put an end to the race.
