There are a lot of bad drivers out there and we've put together a list of the most incredible car accident videos to prove it.
At Hansma Automotive, we have over 25 years of experience in the automotive repair industry and we'd love to share our expertise with you.
We're showing you these videos so that you can drive safely and not make the same mistakes as these drivers do. So let's get started.
Car Accident Videos
Here's our list of the most incredible car accident videos we could find on the internet. A word of caution, some viewers may find some of the clips difficult to watch, however, they do highlight the importance of safe driving practices.
Summary: Our first compilation of car accident videos shows drivers who are blatantly disobeying some of the most basic rules of driving, such as not entering an intersection when the light is red and not passing on a double line.
You could use a number of these clips as great examples of what you should and shouldn't do while you are driving. The contributor of this video has conveniently added explanatory text so that it is much easier to understand what is happening in each clip.
Takeaway: This compilation of car accident videos really demonstrates why it is so important to obey the rules of the road.

Summary: This compilation of head-on car accident videos is particularly sad, considering most of the drivers and passengers were probably critically injured or killed.
Head-on collisions are extremely dangerous, especially when they occur at high speeds, which most of these do. This is because the force of impact is doubled when two cars hit each other head on.
Takeaway: Slow down and stay in your own lane. Getting somewhere a little bit faster is not worth risking your life or the lives of others.

Summary: Car accidents don't occur just on the roads, as seen in several of the clips in this compilation of car accident videos.
Some homeowners have caught these mishaps on their video surveillance cameras and have suffered damage to their property, including their fence, driveway, pool, and even an unfortunate bag of groceries. Check them out for yourself.
Takeaway: Even your home and property can be susceptible to damage from careless drivers.

Therefore, it is important to be aware of the dangers these large vehicles present to your comparatively smaller vehicle.
Takeaway: These videos reinforce the importance of defensive driving and being alert, especially around large trucks.

Summary: Just so you don't think that only drivers in North America are bad, here is a compilation of car accident videos shot from dashcams in Europe.
You'll see videos from almost every country in Europe including Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, France, Italy, Spain, Serbia and more. You'll see footage of car crashes, fails and other humorous antics on European roads.
Takeaway: If nothing else, you need to watch the first clip of a van that crosses in front of a train.

Summary: Our final collection of car accident videos shows a number of drivers who fall asleep at the wheel with disastrous consequences. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimated that 72,000 crashes, 44,000 injuries and 800 deaths were attributed to drowsy driving in 2013 alone.
Takeaway: If you are feeling sleepy, don't get behind the wheel. If you are starting to feel sleepy while you are driving, find a safe spot to pull over and take a nap or if there is someone else in the vehicle who can take over driving for you, let them.
