Last month we stumbled upon Driving in Asia and were surprised at how scarily accurate it was and how many of those situations we've encountered in our day to day lives (though thankfully we've never had them turn out quite so badly). This month the YouTube creator TNL (known for his Fail Compilations) is back at it again with the highly anticipated sequel! more ›

If you're planning on driving anywhere this weekend perhaps you'd better not watch this (or take notes to know what to watch out for!). Otherwise, sit back and watch over seven minutes of close calls, crazy antics and some pretty harrowing crashes taken from primarily China and Taiwan. more ›

Here's one thing we can thank close-circuit television for: more than ever, we get to see amazing crash survival techniques. You've no doubt seen the exploits of Brother Tricycle, Brother Running and Brother Train.

An anonymous driver slammed into the Adidas store on Huaihai Middle Road and Ruijin No.1 Road earlier this morning. Shop employees discovered an abandoned motor vehicle lying by the side of the store when they shuffled in at 7am.
