Angry Woman Thrashes on Motorcyclist During One of the Craziest Road Rage Incidents Ever!

If you still don't believe that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, then we'd advise you to take a look at the following video that was shot in Brazil.

We can honestly say that it’s one of the craziest and most dangerous incidents of road rage that we have ever seen. Period.

Reports emerging from Brazil say that, according to the police report, the said incident took place on February 23. It all started when a woman driving a Fiat Palio Adventure allegedly cut off the motorcyclist at a red light.

From there on, a passenger in a following vehicle catches the entire episode on film. Apparently, some words and/or looks were exchanged and the motorcyclist kicks the front fender of the Fiat. That was a bad move because the woman immediately runs her car onto the motorcyclist knocking him down! Sounds crazy right? Wait, you haven’t heard the half of it!

Aston Martin Rapide Receives a Heavy Facelift from an Audi Q5 in China

The world has one less Aston Martin Rapide to worry about today after a gunmetal grey example of the British luxury sports saloon had an unfortunate meeting with an Audi Q5 crossover on the busy streets of Beijing in China.

The two cars bumped heads with might, but fortunately, no one was seriously injured from the accident.

According to reports from the local media, police are still investigating the cause of the accident, so we don't know which of the two drivers is at fault here.

The Great Barrier Head Slap

Just because the machines haven't taken over yet, that doesn't mean one shouldn't be careful and wary of potential mishaps that can occur from automated machines.

Watching out for telescopic parking bars coming right at you is a good start. Painful but humorous video follows after the jump.

Foamed: Carnival Teens Attack Ferrari F430 Spider in Brazil

It’s always a good idea to stay far, far away from a crowd of frantic people, be you on foot or in your car. Even more so, if you're driving an exotic ride like a Ferrari F430 Spider.

This incident allegedly occurred in Brazil during a local (?) carnival. While driving on the street, the owner of the Prancing Horse supercar was suddenly surrounded by a mob of frantic kids and teens running around with foam sprays, which of course, they used on the Ferrari…

If you watch the clip until the end, you'll see a wiser driver of a white Porsche Panamera making a hasty U-turn to avoid the foamy fate of the F430 Spider. Video follows right after the break.

Lada Riva Sedan Highway Spin Deserves a Chuck Norris Approved Stamp

Continuing our series of epic videos on Lada's Riva family car, here's another abnormal incident that took place on a highway in Russia.

While it doesn’t take a genius to see that the conditions of the road are unsafe and therefore one should be extra careful, especially when driving an archaic rear-wheel drive vehicle like the Riva (also known as the Nova, 2105 etc.), the person behind the wheel of the Lada doesn’t seem to care.

And of course, the inevitable happens; he (or she) loses control of the car. But the ending is not what you may think it will be. See how it plays out in the short clip that follows after the break.

Impatient Woman Rushes to Beat Another Driver at the Gas Pump, Crashes and Blows it Up!

We live in fast pace society where deadlines and appointments have to be met, and decisions have to be made swiftly. Nevertheless, sometimes it's better and ultimately, much wiser, to slow it down a notch and take your time in whatever you do.

But the notion of slowing down wasn't in the agenda of a Gilda Ramos who wanted to fill up her Jeep Compass at a Miami Beach gas station on Tuesday.

Surveillance video captured the woman smashing her Jeep into the pump that quickly erupted into flames.

Lada Station Wagon Flies Into a Snow Bank

For some strange reason, certain Russian owners of Lada's classic Riva series believe that their car is an invisible machine on wheels built for extreme speeds.

Like this driver of a station wagon version of the Riva who thought it would be a great idea to push the pedal to the metal on a snowy road bypassing the rest of the cars. See what happened next in the video that follows past the jump.

Mazda MX-5 Almost Crashes Into a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera

Driving an exotic supercar like the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera through a parade of modded cars and an equally crazy crowd of people in a parking lot is just about as wise as taking your date to a sausage fest: someone is bound to hit on your gal.

And this is what almost happened to the owner of the white Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera when the driver of a second generation Mazda Miata wanted to show off with a little burnout that didn't go as planned just barely missing the Italian exotic.

One Very Lucky Nissan GT-R Driver Avoids Wall Not Once, Not Twice but Thrice

While straight-line races in a protected environment like a drag strip are considered relatively safe compared to other forms of racing, that doesn't necessarily make them fool-proof as things can go wrong for a great number of reasons.

In this quarter mile race between two Nissan GT-R coupes, one of the drivers lost control of the car shortly after taking off and began turning around missing both walls by inches. Very lucky indeed.

Head past the jump to watch the video clip.

Ford Mustang Drifts Over Cement Median and into Peugeot 107

Did the driver of this modded, fifth gen Ford Mustang attempt to drift on purpose or did he simply enter the turn a bit too fast and lost control of the car? Who knows.

The end result is that he (or she, we can't be sure) slid right over the cement median and crashed into a Peugeot 107 on the other side of the road. Bet the Peugeot driver didn't see this coming.

And if you haven't figured it out already from the dashcam-mounted camera, this accident took place in mother Russia.

The video awaits your curiosity right past the break.

A Lada Towing Another Lada is a Very Bad Omen…

You don't need know all the jokes concerning Russia's most notorious car model to figure out that something is bound to happen when you see one Lada Riva (also called Classic, 2105 and Nova among other names) towing another Riva on the road…

This is what Happens when you Leave a Maserati Gran Turismo's Door Open Near a Bus

If it’s going to happen, it's going to happen. During the filming of a Polish television show named "Zakup Kontrolowany", reporter Adam Kornacki changed places with local actress Malgorzata Socha behind the steering wheel of a Maserati Gran Turismo.

Even though the man was careful not to hit the door on the bus that was standing beside the car, he didn't figure that the truck driver would take off at an angle slamming the Maserati's door.

Watch how it happened in the video after the jump.

Watch a Couple of Imbeciles Roll Over a Mini Hatchback [NSFW]

MTV's "Jackass" television series showed us that there's really no limit to what some people may do for some attention and better ratings, which is why we're going to take the following incident with not a grain, but a bucket load of salt.

The video is from a one "Jeff Buff" who apparently wants to be crowned a YouTube star through his clips. It shows Jeff with another guy driving a stick-shift Mini hatchback from 2002 for 'bout 15 seconds before they roll over and land upside down.

Oops…Toyota 86 Coupe Drifts Into a Metal Barrier in Japan

Drifting a lightweight, rear-wheel drive coupe like the Toyota 86, which is Japan's version of the North American Scion FR-S and the European Toyota GT 86, on a wet parking lot can be loads of fun just as long as you accept the increased risk of losing control.

Which is what happened to one of the drivers trying out the 86 at a parking lot in Odaiba, Japan, last Friday on March 9.

Fortunately for the driver, he didn’t hit the metal barrier hard thus reducing the damages to the car. If you want to see what happened, head past the break for the video.

Chuck Norris Approved: Woman Driver Slips Between Two Trucks

In the face of danger, some people panic, usually with catastrophic results, while others keep their cool and make it through unscathed.

Such is the case with this female driver (or so the YouTube poster claims it's a woman) when she was passing a truck on the highway and suddenly a large dumpster entered the road.

Carefully steer your way through the break to watch the video.

Game Over: Real-Life Scooter Accident through the Eyes of an Arcade Gamer

We won't blame you if you find the first 20 or seconds of this video lame, but trust us when we say that it will all make sense towards the end of the clip.

Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX Rally Driver has One Very Scary Crash

Many are drawn to the world of rallying, but the nature of the sport means that accidents can and do occur. Some incidents are worse than others, but fortunately, safety regulations have come a long way in the past few decades protecting drivers whenever there's a mishap like the one you're about to watch right past the break.

Justice Served? Reckless Ford Focus Driver in Video Found Lying Upside Down

On Monday, we showed you a video of a thoughtless driver in a Ford Focus who endangered the lives of several people in Russia with his foolish road antics.

Today, we have an update on the story, courtesy of a Carscoop commentator who goes by the nickname 'europeon'.

Beginning with the video itself, as another reader pointed out, when the driver of the vehicle with the camera stops to confront the driver in the Focus, he asks the passenger if he should take a gun with him, which probably explains why the young man in the Ford goes from rock hard to velvety soft slithering back into his car…

Lesson Learnt: Real Life Speeding Ain't a Game

The thing with speeding and zigzagging between cars in real life is that you cannot disable crash damage nor you can start from the beginning if something goes wrong and let's say, you lose control of your car and smash into a concrete barrier…

If you follow the break, you'll see how a Chinese driver in Beijing learned his lesson the hard way.

And the Prize for the Most Reckless Driver Goes to…

Dashboard mounted car cameras are just about as common as snow in Russia giving us an insight on what your average driver has to deal with on a daily basis.

In the following video, you will find one of the most reckless drivers we've ever watched on camera – period.

We don’t know what went on before, but in the clip, we see the driver of a previous generation Ford Focus bypassing the car with the camera and then slowing down, accelerating and performing dangerous maneuvers on the road.

Not only does the Focus driver force the camera car to slide over to the side of the snowy road, but also an oncoming vehicle to do the same. And if that wasn't enough, he makes a 'U' turn and stops to confront the driver of the car he just pushed over!
