In the UK town of Dartford a driver’s dashcam caught footage of a clever cat using a pedestrian crossing. The driver saw the animal waiting to cross and stopped, with an oncoming vehicle doing the same. With the feline safely across, both cars were then able to proceed. Meanwhile elsewhere in the UK, a cat had a very lucky escape after being rescued from a van’s engine bay. The driver had been at the wheel for around three hours when he heard a curious noise emanating from the engine compartment. He stopp

A rather unusual and somewhat controversial road safety campaign is being used in parts of Russia. Scantily dressed women wearing a minimum of provocative wear are being paid to stand by the roadside holding speed limit signs.

Instead of moving over however, the driver used his cellphone to call the emergency services and say that another driver was flashing his lights aggressively. The officers involve

Police were called after reports of a man loitering and when they arrived at the scene, he got into his car and drove off at speed. The police set off in pursuit and were able to stop the man, realising then that the vehicle was neither insured nor registered, while its licence plates had been changed illegally. A quick in
