Irate Chinese construction workers decided enough was enough and took to the streets to settle their turf war, caught on video by a bystander.

At one point, a wheel loader is seen charging in from the left, coming to the rescue of his overturned fellow loader. He almost rights the stricken machine that is lying on its side.

After the dust had settle, their site managers might have had something to say about their use of company equipment.

So where exactly to old dozers go to die? Are they carted off to a special scrapyard where the ‘carcass’ is broken down after all useable parts are stripped away?

If you watch closely, the driver had a passenger when he ran into the first vehicle, a white minivan.

Instead, the passenger casually wanders around, following the driver as he embarks on yet more prangs.

    The Scottish roads authority has backpedalled on its recently improved cycle lane along a major route on the south-west coast, close to the city of Ayr.

    Amid local authority concerns over traffic congestion and one man’s media-grabbing protest, the cycle lane will now be ripped out – after being installed this summer.

    As the video shows, it is a protected wide lane, often painted blue. Cars appear to travel freely beside it.

    Thankfully it doesn’t happen too often, but forgetting where you parked your car can be an embarrassing moment, or several days, as one man in the UK recently found. Jason Matthews, 40, ran the Manchester City Marathon on April 19 in five hours and 11 minutes and then spent an additional several hours looking for his Saab 93 Sport. He said he couldn’t recall where he had parked the vehicle. He walked back around some of the 26-mile – nearly 42km - course, before driving around in a taxi for 40 minutes an

    Animal welfare groups in the Republic of Ireland are angry over the apparent insensitive act by a road making contractor who painted a yellow line over a dead cat on the side of the highway.
