By stormtiger 1170557427 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveInteresting - how many people think of that same way really but not for the comment showups?
Agree with you but it is not working out when qualified in major part of the world..
What is the speed limit in that tunnel? Its either
A: Drivers go way to fast and lose it into the wall
B: Russians cant drive (notice they all just broke off and swerved into the wall)
or C: These guys had alittle more than their recommended daily intake of vodka recommended by the russian FDA for healthy living :D
There is ICE in there - that's what caused these accidents. I would like to see YOU in there on that ice . . . dumbshit tiger

By fletchers_shit 1144921099 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe tunnel runs under a river and is not 100% watertight, so in the russian winter the leaking water freezes from the cold air rushing through the tunnel which is why so many people lose control of their cars through there!

it is different from u driving a normal car with much worse controlling than racing car on a normal road wid various turns. get a life
or u dont drive a car, nuts
You are the one who needs to get a life if you can't understand what they were meaning by the last email about Indy. The point was that it isn't speed its speeding to fast for the cars capabilities, the conditions or your own capabilities behind the wheel that results in accidents. Indy or any racing on the track shows that speed is not the single factor determining a crash or not.
By low63ponte 1158759685 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveFirst of all they are really speeding, if you think they are not, consider you are watching very low quality videos, plus you are watching it in perspective, something that really fools the sense of depth (you cannot measure speed if you are have no fair depth perception)
Also, the tunel is nothing more that very long straight paths, and large radius curves.
However (sorry I don't remember the english word for this if someone knows what I'm talking about please post the correct word) The curves are not tilted, which means the centrifugal furce the car experiences tends to pull the carr out of the curve instead of pushing it down to the ground, which transaltes in less stability because wheels are no longer pressed against the floor and also reduces handling.
***Useful note!:
Remember, in order to take curves safely you MUST enter the curve relatively slow, and as you are on it, speed up, so you come out of it faster than you came in, this way you have more precise control of your car. If you come in too fast, and brake during the curve you will, most likely, lose control of the car, either because you came too fast and you wont be able to turn (you will go straight out of the road) or you have the risk of blocking the brakes, and therefore loosing control of the vehicle. (you might spin right in the middle of the curve)
***
You can also see some of this accidents that you say have no reason to happen is people change lanes when they are not supposed to (someone already said it, solid white line means no changing lanes) , plus, they change lanes braking, while in fact you should never do, since the speed limit is not the same in the 3 lanes (for those of you who don't know this, the far left lane is for fast speed, the center lane(s) medium, and the right lane is for slow speed, that is why trucks and heavy weight vehicles are required to be on right lanes)
I assume some of this accidents happened during day time, but since it is inside a tunel it's hard to tell, if it is the case then maybe drivers come in the tunel too fast, and their eyes have no time to addapt to the darkness of the tunnel (imagine coming into your house after being outside under the sun for a while) even if other cars have their tail lights on, you would have a reduced sight. (we all know sight is the most important thing while driving)
For the misterious truck, my guess is it crashed in the other side of the tunnel, wich we can't see because each side is isolated and it actually broke tru the wall, if you look closely there is nothing, there is just some pipes and it is no intersection.
in conclusion, the tunnel is dangerous because people drive to fast ,they change lanes when they shouldn't, the road is nearly to be completely horizontal so cars lose handling, speeding, and the posibility of having reduces sight due to sudden darkness (while entering the tunnel at daytime) at high speeds, it is not the best scenario at all.

By peckerwood 1143656457 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removelet's not aso forget where this is comming from. Everyone knows that in Russia, vodka replaces water. The country is amongst the highest in alcoholism and mot of these drivers are probably drunk. Wheteverthe factor may be, I believe intoxication is a prime factr as to why this tunnel is so dangerous. Losing control of a vehicle does happen-even to the best of us, but when your drunk, and a majority of Russian workers tend to drink a lot, losing contro is an obvious reprocussion.
By redfoxII 1144360868 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIs this for real?
have you ever head the terms "stereotype" and "pre-judge"
It is really dumb to claim that this accidents happened because in Russia there is a lot of vodka... (I guess no one ever drinks and drives in other countries, huh...)
This video is just an example of bad drivers. As someone already commented, if you put a camera on any freeway for enought time (let's imagine a whole year... feel free to research how many accidents there are in different countries in a whole year), you will be able to compile something like this. Yes, some of them MIGHT be caused by alcohol...
People crash all over the world for numerous reasons. Let's not get general conclusions, because as you see, a lot of people will get offended
Have you ever been to Russia? Vodka is so plentiful and so easy to get your hands on. You'll see guys drunk at 8 in the morning. At a symphony concert a family friend went to in Russia, there were shots of vodka sitting on a table in the lobby, with no one supervising who got them. By the time intermission was over, all the glasses were empty.
Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against Russia or Russians. I've had Russian friends. But drunkenness is a problem in Russia; the government's even launched a public service ad campaign to try to combat it. The fact that driving in Russia is dangerous and that potent alcohol flows like water are not coincidences.
U` re really fucking stuipid ass. Clean all shit in your head, Sick Jack off.
american driver` licence test is real crap- nothing to do.
And Russians don` t drink vodka every day.
Fuck u, victim of abortion.
you're an idiot. as a russian i can without any shame admit we as a whole drink alot.
By Ninth 1151616411 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removehow do you know hes american? you criticize him for being a bigot and then you are the same way. what he should have said was that all these drivers are not drunk but probably female. no matter what country you are in, no matter what language you speak, women cannot drive. thats why saudi arabia doesnt let them have drivers licenses. also, solid white lines in america mean do not pass, but im not sure what they mean in russia.

Statistics have shown that women have more fender benders, i.e. hitting a mailbox, hitting someone in a parking lot, ect., because they may have worse depth perception than men. It's been shown that men have more high speed collisions that result in deaths. Both sexes can drive, but according to these statistics, it's more likely that MEN were the speeders in the tunnel that caused the accidents.

By smartmarzipan 1145321889 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove# THIS COMMENT IS RACISM FREE, but may contain sexism.. my post that started it all. it was deeply rooted with satire. you took offense to it so i felt the need to try to piss you off more. i doubt someone who takes posts on a website that posts videos on the internet that seriously has any sense of humor at all. you were far too hateful in your first reply to follow it up with some comedy. proof? look at every one of my posts in this thread and none of them look to be serious, all but one of yours does. do i get kudos for pointing out this that was obvious to only me?
p.s. are you a female driver? (-----added for the sake of seriouslessness, so my previous assessment of all my posts in this thread could hold true)
your comment seriously whether you were joking or not. That shit just pisses me off.
You said, "you were far too hateful in your first reply to follow it up with comedy." Apparently not, because I did. In retrospect, I realized there will be assholes like you everywhere, so I tried calming it down a bit, if only for the sake of my own blood pressure. Throw in something kinda funny, try to smile at jokes that hurt a bit too much. But when someone pushes, I push back.
I mean, seriously, if you had said "this post contains no sexism, but some racism", you'd be getting the same shit from someone else. What did ya expect?
And yeah, at the risk of becoming the ass end of another sexist joke, I am a female driver. You may think I'm taking it way too seriously, but when you have to hear shit like this all the time, it starts wearing thin.
i deeply apologize, i had no idea you were a female (definitely not a lady greeting folks with 'dumbfuck'). please accept my sincerest apology. at least you arent black though, right? please advise, if you get any more violent in your retorts i will gypsy curse a brain tumor at the base of your skull.

By wadup95 1142407804 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove"and the right lane is for slow speed, that is why trucks and heavy weight vehicles are required to be on right lanes"....... Now where do I start with this. This is something I have yet to figure out. In the 15 years I've been driving trucks, why would you put something that weighs 80,000# (u.s.) in the lane used to decel and accel at exits? So people in their speedy (four wheelers) cars, can go from the far left lane and make their exit 4 lanes over without having to worry about hitting a 75 foot truck. It doesn't matter what country your from, it's the same everywhere. People need more education and training on operating vehicles.
By Longhaul 1143504196 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemovePeople is not supposed to changes lanes as they will. You are not supposed to cross over 4 lanes after you take an exit. The reason? unless you're in a raceway, you have to be aware that you must chose your lane, and to check for other vehiles (also make use of that stick in the right of the steering wheel... you know... the one that turns on the blinking arrows) to announce you're about to change lanes... where in hell is it allowed to cross all over the lanes without the fear of hitting someone?
By Jules_teo 1144049828 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveSorry about the double post there... I had some issues with crappy internet explorer
lol!
you should do a little research because it also applies to Mexican laws of traffic. Right lanes are for slow traffic, and for heavy weight vehicles.
I aggree with Taraniis. Do some research before posting something without the right information to back it up.
Drivers are supposed (as far as I know this really is for most of the countries) to pick a lane, and stay on it as much as you need, and once they need to change lanes, do it correctly (you know... using that stick on the left side of your steering wheel that turns on and off the blinking arrows) to make sure other drivers know what you are about to do.
Not to cross all over 4 lanes without "having to worry" about hitting other vehicles.
and also you may have not noticed, but in SOME of the signs that say "EXIT" on freeways (the small yellow ones), below the word "exit", there is a little number... well that number is the speed limit in order to take that exit... (usually 40 mph)
You will find that on the European Continent we have strict rules about where heavy goods vehicles can and cannot go. Lanes 1 and 2 are next to the exits, lanes 3 are closer to the middle of the motorway.
All heavy goods vehicles are limited to 56mph (60mph for coaches) on European Motorways. They are also all restricted to using only lanes 1 and 2 (in this case the right hand and centre lane). So, where you start is by searching the net for traffic regulations of the country in question. Then you can tell people how to drive in their own country.
