It takes courage to drive down the wrong side of a motorway and a lot of nerve. But this driver in China appears to have both in large quantities as he heads off on his journey. Apparently, his passenger is his equal when it comes to sangfroid. He even appears in camera shot with a big smile on his face. Luckily no crash took place.

It takes courage to drive down the wrong side of a motorway and a lot of nerve. But this driver in China appears to have both in large quantities as he heads off on his journey.

Apparently, his passenger is his equal when it comes to sangfroid. He even appears in camera shot with a big smile on his face.

That goes for some people who wish to put petrol in their car but don’t quite get the spatial thing, as this video shows. The person appears to expect the filler cap to have moved from one side of the vehicle to the other simply because she drove around the petrol pump.

The twin engines of the 290-tonne O&K RH 120-E mining excavator had given up the ghost and could not be repaired on site, leaving the monster stranded atop a high mound of earth.
