There's Something Reversely Wrong with this Driver

You could say that this driver is pretty good with his hands behind the wheel, or completely senseless, or perhaps better yet, both.

How else can you explain his actions after the car lost traction due to the icy conditions of the road, spinning around itself and narrowly missing an oncoming vehicle?

Today I present photo report of the demo center Volvo, in Gothenburg. Tour for journalists held on the occasion of the premiere of the new Volvo FH.

Come on, just admit it, there's no reason to be ashamed; you missed watching all those whacky videos from Russia on CarScoop while we were fighting against Google's devious bureaucratic operations the past few days.

So, to make up for it, we plunged into the depths of YouTube dodging the expected and looking for the unexpected – fear not, you'll soon see for yourself what we mean by that.

A group of people including two police officers and onlookers who were standing in the middle of a road in the tourist resort township of Mooloolaba in Queensland, Australia, were caught off guard when what the originally thought was a wave of sea foam turned out to be a car in a…frothy disguise!

The surprise-ending footage was captured by Michel Bell who visited the area with his sister to watch the impressive natural phenomenon caused by a tropical cyclone in the area.

A Chilean bus driver has a lot of explaining to do after he left an X-rated love movie playing on the on-board television screens of a bus packed with families.

In the video footage that has now gone viral on the web, we see a young man walking down the aisle checking the passengers (likely for tickets) with his back turned towards the displays.

The way we see it, there's only one of two things going on here with this driver: either he's more drunk than Lindsey Lohan floating unsurprised in a barrel of whiskey or he's crazier than a rabid dog.

There's no other explanation, because while you could say the driver of the white-colored station wagon (can you tell us the make and model?) was trying to make a quick getaway after smashing into the Nissan Juke when he hit the truck, the second time he crashed into it doesn't make any sense.

Even as kids, we're taught by our parents and schoolteachers that we should always look both ways before crossing the road and never take chances. Better safe than sorry, as they say. Sadly, some adults still don't understand the concept.

A young woman in the city of Astrakhan in the southern European part of Russia, tried to dash across the road at the same time that a bus was coming from the other side.

We know what some of you may be thinking; "Ah, another crazy day in Russia". Well, if you are, you're wrong, because this dashcam footage was filmed on a highway in Las Vegas.

And while it was an extremely close call, the kind where if one minor detail would have been different, the person driving the vehicle would have been either seriously hurt or even killed, the retired police officer and former race car driver and airline pilot (among other things), who we come to know under his YouTube alias Sidewinder, lived to tell the tale.

All motorists should make sure that their vehicles are secured if they are going to leave the wheel and jump out with the engine running, perhaps even more so if you happen to be a professional driver of a truck.

There's no way of knowing if this tow truck driver forgot to pull the handbrake, if there was a mechanical failure or something else that we can't see from the video, but he's bound to have a lot of explaining to do…especially to the owner of the blue SUV that looks like it may have sustained some damages.

The Chinese maker of all-electric vehicles that gained a lot of attention in 2008 when investor Warren Buffett bought a 10 percent stake in BYD for$230 million, is now actively looking to build an electric-bus assembly plant in the States.

Micheal Austin, vice president of BYD America, broke the news to WardsAuto, adding that the company has not yet decided on the location for the plant. "Clearly, there are a lot sensitive negotiations that must go on before any of that happens," said Austin.
