Whenever you get behind the wheel of a car or on the seat of a motorcycle and hit the road, you just have to be prepared for surprises, some of which you can avoid and others that you cannot. The worst thing you can do when the unexpected happens is to panic.

And panic is exactly what this young Russian driver of an older generation Nissan Micra did when a careless motorist in a white hatch (or small MPV, we can’t see clearly from this distance) veered into his lane.

The man lost it and swiveled left and right before crashing into and the…onto the side barrier. Fortunately, both he and his female companion seemed unhurt as they…jumped out of the car that was partially hanging in the air.
