An impatient driver pulled a risky maneuver on a Moscow region road over the weekend trying to pass a car in the next lane, only to end up parked at the curb instead.
Footage of the incident shot from the dashboard of the car that got passed — and, in the process, sideswiped — shows a station wagon bolt forward in the neighboring lane, then try to switch lanes in a narrow stretch of space.
The station wagon clips the car with the camera, then immediately swings 180 degrees back across three lanes of traffic — right to the curb.
If it hadn't slammed into the back of a car already stopped there, it would have been a perfect parking job.
