A Russian has turned road rage into revenge by ramming other road users. The minibus driver grew so upset with the behaviour of other road users he decided to take matters into his own hands by deliberately failing to brake or swerve to avoid a collision. The impacts were comparatively minor and did not result in any injuries to any vehicle occupants. Police however were able to identify the driver as being the cause of the problem when video clips were posted on the Internet. The man had fitted a video camera to his vehicle to record the incidents, which he then posted on the Internet along with a voice commentary. At least six incidents have been identified as being deliberately caused by the Volgograd-based driver. It seems that the battered appearance of his minibus did not attract the earlier attention of the police. The man apparently did not realise that the police use the Internet.

Seeing the car about to impact, the biker jumped aside from his motorcycle. The 4x4 driver, a learner, ignored th

    A huge highway upgrade project will transform the Cairo-Alexandria road link into a world-class connection as Mike Woof reports. The work to upgrade the Desert Highway connecting Egypt's sprawling capital Cairo with its major port Alexandria, is one of the country's largest infrastructure projects for many years. This 220km highway link is being widened and improved to cope with the hugely increased traffic volumes resulting partly from Egypt's fast growing vehicle population. The Egyptian economy is strong
