    What's so bad about this tunnel? I can see it's a problem for cars
    going through it, but why?

  4. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, mb
    What the **** happened to the bendy bus? And the bit with the two trucks
    has me confused too. I can't see where the second truck suddenly appears
    from.

    That bendy bus one is a fucker. Jeez I'd hate to have been a passenger
    on that.

    As for that lorry driver that gets twatted by a lorry popping through
    the wall from the other side...

    I've seen it a number of times before, and I've never been able to work
    it out. Even Cab's point that it's come through the wall doesn't seem
    to work. It just appears.

  10. In uk.rec.motorcycles, Cab belched forth and ejected the following:
    I reckon it's all been staged. That bendy bus looks like one of those
    Arab drifting videos to me.

  11. Unbelievable. I mean, how hard is it to drive in a more or less straight
    line without crashing?

    We see the results, not what caused it unfortunately.
    I think that there must be a dividing wall between the two directions.
    So a lorry on the other side must have just smashed through the wall,
    twatting the lorry we saw at the same time.

    Notice how there were no bikers in the clips. None of them are stupid
    enough to use the tunnel...

  13. It's empty. The driver is demonstrably driving far too quickly and I
    suspect the vehicle hasn't been maintained properly.
    There is a slight time lapse in the film. The tunnel wall is solid so
    nothing has come through it. One lorry is in the middle lane and the
    second one is on the far right lane and is again going far too fast.

    I think the accidents are a simple combination of the road surface being
    in a completely shit condition, drivers being utterly useless, speed and
    badly maintained vehicles. In other words nothing that surprising. One
    other thing is that this black spot appears to be after a bend but there
    is no clue as to how sharp it is - the lack of visibility may also be a
    factor.

    Reminds me of the Limehouse Link a little - a road I do not like at all.

    I suspected that. Even so...
    I've just found a slight flaw in my idea. If it is Russian, then they
    drive on the right.
    That's why there are cameras in it. Supposedly to slow people down.

    FIREWORKS!
    Some twat is gluing fireworks to the cars at the toll booth.
    When the fireworks go bang it scares the driver who then crashes.

    Don't believe me? Look closely at the Lada, you can see the banger exploding
    on the rear wing!
