A good road safety video Good little prevention video which reminds us that driving very fast in a car, to the point of speeding, hardly saves any time.
Car pulls out of lay-by causing multi-vehicle crash As the driver of the truck was travelling east on the A55 (J23) at Llanddulas in the direction of Chester, a female driver pulls out of the lay-by in front of a 44 tonne HGV. With the truck driver having no time to respond or go anywhere else to escape as there was another vehicle in lane two, it resulted in the driver of the silver Hyundai car being rear ended. The Hyundai then bounced into lane two colliding with another vehicle (Mercedes) before coming to a stop in the central reservation. It was reported at the time that two people were taken to hospital with non life threatening injuries. The driver of the HGV tells us the woman in the Hyundai that pulled out of the lay-by causing the crash was found to be at fault and was sent on a paid driver awareness course.
Thieves Steal Washing Powder From Overturned Lorry A bunch of thieves took off with boxes full of washing powder after a lorry overturned on a road in South Africa. The lorry was full of boxes of MAQ brand washing powder when it overturned in the Midvaal municipality of north-eastern South Africa’s Gauteng Province. A video shot by a passenger in a passing car shows hundreds of people at the scene, with many standing on the side of the felled lorry. Many vehicles are parked nearby as people pull over to help themselves to the free goods. A police officer is seen talking to a driver but he seems powerless to stop the looting frenzy going on behind him.
Road rage: Bus smashed car against trees A road rage footage taken in Qingzhou, east China’s Shandong province on May 13 has shown a bus bumping multiple times on a white car running in front of it. The collusions can be seen in the footage getting fiercer by each bump. The bus can be seen suddenly accelerated, pushing the white vehicle against road side fence then on a tree. It was later on revealed that the bus driver and the car driver were involved in a road rage argument. What the footage didn’t show was even more horrifying. The car driver was seen leaving the car after his vehicle was pushed against the tree, and the bus suddenly turned around and run over him. The car driver could be heard screaming for help during the whole process, whilst the bus driver was heard scolding and cursing. The bus driver was later detained and the car driver was sent to the hospital. Local police is conducting further investigation on the case

Head-on collision of a car with a cyclist The road is a one-way 90km/h linking the local beauty spot 'Goyt Valley' to the 'Cat and Fiddle' (one of the most dangerous roads in the UK). The car is an imported Mazda MX5. The cyclist passed 2 access prohibition signs and continued his descent on the wrong side of the road. The car was traveling at about 50km/h around the bend. The estimated speed of the cyclist was approximately 65 km/h. The cyclist stood up immediately after the impact and walked around the car before sitting down at the side of the road. The driver called the ambulance due to the cyclist's lower back pain and confusion shortly afterwards. Amazingly, no bones were broken and the cyclist was released from hospital 6 hours later.
