Xenia Kolotenko, an aspiring journalist, told Russian news site Neva24 that she went to take a driving exam along with her instructor at the traffic police on August 31.
The instructor stepped out of the car and let Kolotenko do some trial runs in her vehicle. However, the woman took almost twice as long as normally required to complete the tests, something that annoyed the driving instructor who stopped her and told that if she can't move her pace, it would better if she went home.

And unlike those real professional ladies enjoying a ride in superfast sports car as any other…normal woman would do, the unnamed blonde on the black leather seat of the GT-R has a mind and a mouth of her own.
Some of our favorite quotes include, "This GT-R has nothing on those twin-turbo Gallardo" and "No girl, he does his car like he does his woman, quarter mile a time, 10 seconds the most".

Even more so, if you watch the scary and somewhat unexplainable accident (at least from this angle and distance) as it happened through the helmet-mounted camera of a fellow biker coming from behind.

You may remember a clip shot in Ukraine during the country's annual Constitution Day celebrations at the end of June, in which civilian drivers were going all over the road disregarding laws and common sense. Guess what; it gets worse.

While downhill skateboard racing has its dangers, we somehow doubt that Ryan Vitale was expecting an innocent looking deer to be one of them.

How else can you explain the fact that for the second time (see the first incident here), we have discovered a video showing a pooch that made it out alive after being hit by what looks to be a Peugeot 308 307 compact hatchback?
According to the poster of the clip, the dog was allegedly hit at a speed of 90km/h (56mph), which sounds a lot to us, but without additional information, there's no way of being sure.

Try telling that to the...pilot of the gunmetal GT-R in the insane video that follows after the break.
In what appears to be some sort of sports car cruise, possibly in Maryland judging by the "Ballenger Creek Pike" and "Elmer Derr Road" signs, the GT-R driver passes the car filming the incident and which was already going fast, from the left hand side of the road, as if there was no tomorrow.

Even more so when said possession is a Porsche 911 coupe in an attention grabbing yellow shade.
We are not sure where this incident took place, though the BMW M5 E39 sedan that pulled over next to the Porsche 911 at the gas station and from which the thief came out of, looks like it may be wearing a German license plate from Aachen (AC).
