Good save though!

Now that's what I call drifting! Saw this on "Ya - Ochevidec" program a few times. Btw, the crash at 1:20... is it me or does the truck split into 2? There's only 1 truck and then after the crash it looks like there's 2?

There's definitely 1 to start with and 2 on their sides. Looks like one must have lost control coming from the opposite carridgeway and broke through a partition or something? The truck you can see is definitely hit side-on at its front with some hefty force...

I dread to think how many new pair of crackers the passengers need on the bus.
Smashing clip though.

I love the way the guy in the BMW (I think) in the middle lane is indicating to change lanes even before the lorries have stopped sliding....

Great stuff.
You couldn't get a ride like that at the fair ground.

typical bmw driver , always in a rush to get in front

Apparently this is taken for granted in Moscow,like "no big deal",evey winter.
There is more footage,but you have to start really digging to unearth it,and similar,
poor driving examples.

Imagine you are the poor driver of this coach .....

You had a lot of spare time recently by any chance Essexdad?

[Essexdad]

As it happens,I do get quite a bit of time to do what I like.....I do 24/7 shifts on London Underground
in the Train Service Control side,basically worked between us all on a "carve the job up" front/backender way;
It works well,because we all know and trust each other,and work as a family if you like.
Plus,i've been divorced 12 years,and although I have "my ladies",I would never live full-time with one again.....so,you see,I come& go as I please,am not answerable to anyone,have plenty of time off (every day of the week in like a staggered ladder pattern sometimes 1 day,sometimes 2,sometimes Fri/Sat one week joined up with Sun/Mon the next to give a long weekend) worked out by ourselves & accepted by management.
I have time off when others are working in offices..(there is no finer feeling than driving home at say 6.30am after nights in my 6,against the flow of the buildup of morning peak traffic,park up in the driveway& up to bed .....no alarm to get up either ! Up again and on here in the afternoon.
Sorry for the rambling,I get carried away sometimes,you get,like,on a roll !
Hope it answers the question though.

[Benner]

Ah you work similar shifts to me. Basically any hours any day.

Like you say though, get blocks of time off, but then again you can end up working long stints.

I like it this way. Don't think I could do a 9-5.

[Essexdad]

9-5...no way!!!
I've been to work today,left after I posted something about1345 ish,back on here now with a drink & a sandwich or 2,
