Default Russia tunnel footage

I found this one http://www.fazed.org/video/embed/?id=48
The new Lefortovo tunnel just completed in Moscow, Russia tends to be a very dangerous place to drive. Check out the security footage of some crazy accidents that have occurred in the tunnel.

Geez, lucky for that bus the tunnel wasnt big enough for it to fit sideways. Thats the only thing that saved it.

Where the hell does that second truck come from in the last one, I have watched it over and over and it just seems to appear.

The SECOND light truck was doing a U-Turn from the access bay, just got caught.

It's one of the complaints I have about our freeway designs here, those dedicated U-Turn bays, AND one of the reasons why the 110km/h speed limit will not be increased (till they are all removed).

This photolink is a more recent German tunnel (courtesy EU-TEMS) - you will note the *mandatory* breakdown lane off the right lane, something we in Aussie and our Russie friends haven't caught on to just yet.

Most involve a car going way too quick compared to the rest.
How hard is it to go through a very slight bend

The articulated bus was funny as well as indicating to go around the accident.

Its not the roads fault in most of the videos it was on a strait section of road and by looking at it it was the drivers fault. Nothing else just the driver. There was to many accidents to be mechanical fault. Write that down on my list of places not to go to.
