Open the window before you toss the weed

The Tennessee man appears to know he's in trouble, as a traffic stop for a plate violation drifted towards a more criminal ending.

The man did not pull over when the Fairview police officer initiated the traffic stop on Interstate 40, the NYDailyNews.com reported. A pursuit, which reached speeds of only 60 mph, started, and the officer told WKRN-TV that he noticed the man was trying to do something.

It turns out the 30-year-old driver was trying to throw marijuana out of the passenger side window. The officers dash camera provided video of the movement. However, the man's passenger side window was rolled up and all the marijuana bounced around and landed on the seats and on the suspect as well.
The officer told the suspect later that he should make sure the window is down next time he wants to eliminate evidence.

"It was almost comical to actually see this," the officer, Shane Dunning, told the television station in a video report.

Sorry, but this is funny:

Ever drive in Russia?


Well, according to this video posted on YouTube, a 13-minute compilation of bizarre and, yes, funny, crashes or examples of outrageous driving and unfortunate timing, you are lucky if you haven't. Some highlights include livestock and wildlife, trees falling, insane passing, out of control speeding, and even a horse. Oh, and only one clip involves snow.
While some may say this is bad driving, what's amazing are the number of dashboard cameras. Perhaps they should be mandated on American cars.
Buckle up and check it out:
