If it wasn’t for a nearby security camera recording the road, we sincerely doubt that anyone would buy the story that these three pedestrians from Belarus had to share after an unfortunate encounter with a van.

The footage shows the driver of a Citroen Berlingo taking a left turn on a green light when a black sedan suddenly appeared in the picture travelling at high speed.

Not even ABS or an advanced four-wheel drive system can save you, though; these features will indeed help you lessen the risks of getting into deeper trouble than what you are already in.

A Japanese driver of what looks like a Subaru WRX/STi was confronted with a situation like this right after coming out of a curve on a mountain road, and to make matters worse, a small truck had just crashed into the side rails and was blocking the road in front.

It’s not hard to imagine why, nonetheless, someone insisted on riding his stretch limo to a local drive-through instead of simply parking it and walking a couple of feet into the store to order his meal…or at least he attempted to, as surprise, surprise, he experienced some problems.

There’s no way of knowing if this tow truck driver forgot to pull the handbrake, if there was a mechanical failure or something else that we can’t see from the video, but he’s bound to have a lot of explaining to do…especially to the owner of the blue SUV that looks like it may have sustained some damages.

All we can tell you is that a man wearing a safety vest, who looks like he was part of a team of road workers, does a Michael Jackson-esque dance move before lying flat down on the road in front of the car with the recording equipment.
