The video of this double miraculous escape has been uploaded to YouTube only few days ago but since then already accumulated close to two million views.
It was recorded by car dash cam and shows how the driver twice in a row narrowly escapes collision with oncoming cars. Author of the video states that the events took place on March 28th, 2012 on the road between Igra and Balezino (Udmurt region, Russia).
The most startling part of this video is the calm tone of the driver in which he comments the situation and even asks the passengers not to worry.
Here is what the driver and passenger/s said during those seconds when their life hanged by a thread:
- (seeing the car driving the opposite direction) Fuck your Ma… sha. What an asshole!
- (after avoiding the first collision sliding towards the truck) Easy guys, easy, don’t worry, we’ll make it. We’ll make it!
- (after the second collision was avoided) It’s okay. Everything’s all right…
- (when the car stops) Wonder if we should chase that asshole down.
And here are comments of Russian netizens to this video.
Siberian1963: Happy birthday, guys!
hogich: All who watch this video are worried more than the driver – balls of steel.
videoradii: Seems they are good guys and should live…
5828484545448: The driver did well!!!! Not to lose control in such a situation is already 80% of solution.
sergeyt1431958: What a driver!! Well done! I’d like to drink with him! To shake his hand!
TrueRocknRollaTV: The driver did everything right + a bit of luck. And that monkey has to be caught, dragged out of the car and thrown under truck!
youourmy: Death went out to smoke…
annyakov: While watching I twice shitted my pants
ochkasty: Some got impression that the driver was an awesome ace. In fact, he was just lucky. And lucky twice: first time - when there was no one on the opposite lane the moment he turned, second time – when he turned before the truck.
Mr Yuyuiloveyou: According to reaction, it was Chuck Norris who drove his kittens home.
Danil Komarov: This is how Russian “Final Destination” would start.
Ornoval: After this he should go to casino.
dima15463: What the heck he drives so fast on such rubber which hardly holds the car, first time he was lucky, second time he won’t.
shvv0: And now let’s get off and clean our pants.
den1011000: Looks like the truck’s driver is also experienced guy. Saw the car overtaking him and possibly thought:”Now this faggot will bring someone under my bumper. Yeah, right – here he is…”
red3668: I hope that after such SIGN the driver sold his car.
DeFlurt: The balls of this driver are so huge that he not only carries them but also drives in the passenger seat and talks with them.
AleksandrBorisovi4: Driver of 80th level.

OMG！Unbelievable!
How lucky they are!
But I wish that speedy driver will not rely on luck in the future. He should be well punished to put other people’s life in danger.
Similar thing happened to me about a month ago. We were returning from skiing and started skidding at c.50mph, as did the car right in front of us. The driver just managed to avoid crashing into it but plowed into a snowbank/bushes instead. I was left with the job of making the compulsory nonchalant comment, saying “That was quite the thrill-ride” as soon as the car stopped. Had it happened 50 meters further down it would have also probably been a lethal one (there was a cliff there).
I also had a scary experience.
Though it was on rainy (not icy) road.
I think it was a sign for me and since then I try to drive slowly when it rains.
