'Driving in Russia' video: It's nothing like a trip down the M1

A compilation of the worst car accidents in Russia has amassed a staggering 1.1 million views online in just four days.

The 13 minute video - hilarious from start to finish - is enough to put you off driving for life.

The mishaps get more unlikely as the 13-minute mash-up continues, with scenes more commonly seen on Grand Theft Auto.

In one clip a small white car is utterly weighed down with bales of hay on its roof and bonnet - but the driver continues down the road as if there was nothing out of the ordinary.

In another a car smashes into a telephone pole which falls onto a shop and causes its awning to collapse.

There are some truly jaw dropping moments - from a lightening strike to a car caught up in cables - but thankfully no humans (or animals) were seriously hurt.

Featuring every vehicle imaginable - from cars, tanks, helicopters, mopeds and even a fighter jet - this is one video you won't want to watch before setting out on a long journey.
