Chuck Norris Approved: How to Survive as a Pedestrian on Russian Roads


It's a very well documented fact (through thousands of hours of footage obtained from dashboard-mounted cameras) that a large proportion of Russian drivers don't pay attention nor do they yield to pedestrians when they seem them crossing the road.

From the first few seconds of this video it becomes instantly clear that the driver is going way too fast for a heavily trafficked and fairly populated area, and that an accident is imminent.

Chuck Norris Approved: Truck Driver Thrown Out of Cabin During Crash Lands on his Feet!


You have to see this accident to believe it. In the video footage that follows, we see the driver of a long lorry suddenly turning left into the other lane to avoid a crash with another truck that had stopped in the middle of the road – who knows why.

A third truck coming from the other direction has no choice than to make a small maneuver and smash into the lorry's metal container.

What follows next, will leave you speechless as the second truck's driver, who was obviously not wearing a seat belt, is thrown out of his vehicle's window but he manages to land on his feet without suffering any injuries!

Chinese Woman on a Scooter Makes a Jackie Chan Approved Save


Usually, we categorize any far-fetched saves under our "Chuck Norris Approved" label, but this time, we are going to make an exception and use the "Jackie Chan" tag.

And before you hit the comments section for a brawl, learn that we did this not because of the protagonist's ethnicity but due to her acrobatic moves that reminded us of the famous Hollywood actor.

Chuck Norris Approved Pedestrian Stands His Ground While Crossing the Road


In most situations, pedestrians have the right-of-way in marked or unmarked crosswalks on the road and cars should always give way.

Still, when you see a car speeding towards you with no intention or enough space to stop at the red light, you forget about what's legal and what's not and just try to get out of harm's way - or, at least that's what common sense dictates.

Driver Ejected from Lada Wins Chuck Norris Stamp of Approval


Sometimes the universe conspires to work against you but sometimes it works to help you out. This time it was clearly a case of the latter.

Not only did the driver of this white Lada 110 (or VAZ-2110) avoid being hit by a Mercedes-Benz E-Class when he lost control of his car; not only did he miss the concrete pole when he was ejected from the Russian sedan; not only did he avoid being run over by the German saloon but he also managed to avoid any serious injuries!

Chuck Norris Approved Exodus After a Rollover


Even in the event that you were not hurt, most drivers would probably be too shaken and terrified to move after experiencing a severe crash that results in a car rolling over several times on the road before coming to a stop on its side.

But not this Russian (?) driver who came out of his car through the windscreen! Watch the video after the break.

MINI Norris, Approved by Chuck, Designed by Milos


With all the far-fetched videos we have posted in our Chuck Norris Approved section, it was just a matter of time before one of you, our readers, sent in a Chuck Norris Approved vehicle.

From the creator of the mirthful Zastava ZUGO with its groundbreaking hand warmers comes the one and only Mini Norris, the only car in the world that passed all crash tests with a single roundhouse kick.

Designed by Milos Paripovic, a graduate of the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, Austria, the MINI Norris not only looks the part, but the part actually looks like it.

Chuck Norris Approves Pigeon's "This is Sparta" Attitude


It may be small, especially when compared to a high-capacity urban bus, but what this pigeon lacks in size more than compensates with its fearless attitude.

The feathered animal did not even blink an eye when the long bus passed over it and held its ground like a champ or shall we say, just like Chuck Norris would… Short but entertaining video follows below the jump.

Must Watch: Chuck Norris Approved Motorcycle Save


If we did not know better, we would say motorcycle rider Genki Hagata must have been wearing a blue t-shirt with a shielded S under his protective leather suite during the third round of the AMA event at the Infineon Raceway earlier this month.

At the qualifying session of the Supersport class, Hagata was moving his body from side to side when suddenly the bike starts to wobble badly and flings him up in the air. Honestly, you will not believe what happened next and how Hagata managed to save the ride.

Chuck Norris Approved: Driver Bails Out Just Before Truck Crashes


If this camcorder footage is for real - and we cannot stress that enough, then we have a potential candidate for the "Chuck Norris Approved" video of the year award.

The dashboard camera video shows a speeding truck crashing into a series of concrete barriers before it slams into another structure residing in what looks like a park on the side of the road.

What makes this incident amazing is that the truck driver seemingly jumped out of the vehicle seconds before the crash and made it out unhurt. Watch the video after the break and tell us what you think.

Chuck Norris Approved: Pedestrian Swings and Swerves Out of Harm's Way


It's been a while since we last shared a 'Chuck Norris Approved' video with you, so Carscoop reader Maciek thought it would be a good idea to update the series with a new clip.

We're not sure how this video, which was shot in Tychy, Poland, came to be as the camera constantly zooms in and out to different places, but what we want you to pay attention to starts at around 11 seconds into the clip and continues for another 10 seconds.

There you will see a person (we cannot see if it is a man or a woman) halfway through a pedestrian crossing when all of a sudden, a speeding black passenger car enters the picture at which point both the car and the pedestrian swerve to avoid contact!

Lada Riva Sedan Highway Spin Deserves a Chuck Norris Approved Stamp


Continuing our series of epic videos on Lada's Riva family car, here's another abnormal incident that took place on a highway in Russia.

While it doesn’t take a genius to see that the conditions of the road are unsafe and therefore one should be extra careful, especially when driving an archaic rear-wheel drive vehicle like the Riva (also known as the Nova, 2105 etc.), the person behind the wheel of the Lada doesn’t seem to care.

And of course, the inevitable happens; he (or she) loses control of the car. But the ending is not what you may think it will be. See how it plays out in the short clip that follows after the break.

Chuck Norris Approved: Woman Driver Slips Between Two Trucks


In the face of danger, some people panic, usually with catastrophic results, while others keep their cool and make it through unscathed.

Such is the case with this female driver (or so the YouTube poster claims it's a woman) when she was passing a truck on the highway and suddenly a large dumpster entered the road.

Carefully steer your way through the break to watch the video.

Chuck Norris Approves this Video: Man Avoids Oncoming Van by Jumping Back!


Accidents can happen anytime and anywhere, literally in a second. Most people don't even see them coming, let alone have the time to take evasive actions.

But once in a while, some very alert or at least extremely lucky individuals cheat death like this pedestrian, reportedly in Russia.

Even though the man was facing the opposite direction when two vehicles violently crashed into each other at an intersection, he immediately turned his head and saw that both cars were coming his way and he ran backwards saving his life, and all this in a blink of an eye!

Watch the amazing video footage from the security camera right after the break.

Chuck Norris Approved: Scooter Driver Collides with Truck


Understandably, in a collision between a motorcycle and a larger vehicle, the biker is the one who gets the raw end of the deal.

However, once in a while, motorcyclists manage to get out unscathed from a potentially deadly situation, like this scooter driver in Asia (if any of our readers now where it took place, add a comment below) who was involved in a crash with a light truck that went through a yellow light.

You can watch the video right after the jump.
