That Lada at the end hardly takes any damage at all

Ice in a tunnel in Russia

What ice? All I see is drivers going too fast and losing control, you can even see the skid marks.

there is one accident I don't understand. There are two lorries crash. Where did the second one come from, it wasn't in the shot before the impact. Or is it me?

I think the second lorry was in front of the one you could see at first and was rear-ended by it. The bendy bus was an interesting one, although i was looking forward to seeing it roll and get wedged sideways in the tunnel.

Apart from you at Bruntinghthorpe , I have not seen cars loose control like that before on a straight road without there being a surface issue!

Ice, oil, something must be on that road!

 

[jaymanek]

its probably all those old lada's leaking oil!

Once had an FSO Polenez whack the back of my Mazda pushing me into a Vauxhall Carlton in front.
Carlton bent rear end, FSO £260 worth of damage, Mazda totally crushed. Every panel was bent and the floor was split.

The eastern block had to find soemthing to do with all those scrap tanks after the cold war was over.

The bendy bus is my favourite. Hope no-one was in the back bit!!

 

[dagd]

Bendy bus is my favourate too

That wasn't a straight road, there was a gentle curve.
New dampers, geometry setup and slightly less speed seem to have sorted that particular problem.

I wanted to see a bit more of the bendy bus, it looked as though the driver was gradually getting it back under control. Then he could say at the depot that some other vehicles scuffed him.

I saw this a while ago, from what I was told the tunnel had a ROOFING issue and as such was slowly leaking water into the tunnel. On colder nights, the tunnel would become a skating rink....

I tend to agree with you in part mate, as the following cars have no problem stopping. The cars certainly seem to be travelling Tooo fast for the conditions and lose it. Maybe aided and abetted by a bit of ice.

The Lorry I have played over and over and cannot see where the other one comes from apart from up the wall side out of view.

The bendy bus is like a wandering caravan driven tooo fast again, but the driver finally controls it, sorry for any passenger in the rear coach though.

I haven't taken them off. They are my lucky trousers now. We didn't hit anything!

More by luck than judgement mate. Sorry Steve, but you did close your eyes.

if you look at the right hand wall in front of the truck the other truck comes through it, from the other tunnel I would guess maybe trying to "u turn"?
