lamborghini driver zigged when he should have zagged

Apparently captured at an intersection in Wheeling, Ill., there's no other information known about the driver of the Gallardo, other than their new-found knowledge of how the V-10 interacts with the all-wheel-drive system on a slow corner. ~ read more

UPDATED deadly accident captured by police dashcam

via: email forward

This is a video taken by a State Trooper dashcam.

See how quickly one's life ends by taking their eyes off the road for a split second …

Looks to be accurate, but the news link I've found is in Russian, so there's some translation haziness to be had, so some of this might not be 100% definitive.

Best I can tell the accident occurred on the M-7 Highway in Russian near a village called Omutishi in the Petushinsky district of Russia, about 190 miles west of Moscow.

On February 12, 2012, about 6:20 p.m local time, a Nissan Navara SUV driven by a 32 year old Moscow resident identified only as Alexander did lose control, briefly made contact with what the article calls "a Gazelle" which I'm assuming is a make or model name of a vehicle or a translation quirk, and then drifted into the oncoming lane where it was hit head on by a Freightliner Big Rig. The driver of the SUV was killed and the driver of the Big Rig suffered moderate injuries.

I can't figure out exactly from the article where the video came from. The article mentions a "Office of Traffic Police" but I can't tell if that means it's a dashcam video from a police car or that's where the report is coming from.

Apparently this particular stretch of road is notorious for it's accidents, being the site of several deadly accidents in recent years, including a bus crash that killed 12 in 2009, a crash that killed a family of 3 in 2007 including a famous Russian actor named Aleksandr Dedjushko. ~ read more

slide it in

when you're a rethuglican (and zionist) propaganda blog -- especially one arising out of louisiana, it might not be such a good idea to use the word "diapers" in the title of a post.

nevertheless, the sixty-three second video embedded there is worth a look.

by the way, if you're interested in acquiring a dash or windshield mounted camera similar to the one in the video there is a distributor in indiana -- ultimate gadgets, that carries them. we havent bought one of these type cameras from them, (if we had one we probably would have caught this traffic accident on video) but we can vouch for their outstanding customer service.

moose story

our cousin up in idaho just sent us this email:

If you think hitting a deer is bad take a look at this:

MOOSE STORY
The following pictures are of a moose
that went through a car's windshield
and out the rear window this month
near South River, Ontario.

The VERY lucky woman driver ended up
with just a broken wrist and needing
a good bath. When you view the pictures
you will wonder how the woman managed
to survive.
