It’s funny (well, not really, but you get what we mean) how the difference of a couple of seconds, sometimes even less than that, can mean life or death for us humans.

The print screen shared above from the first incident in Kovrov, Russia, pretty much says it all. The man was crossing the road when the dash-cam van was rammed on the side by an Audi that violently pushed it towards him, yet thanks to a last second sprint, he narrowly avoided being pinned on the tree. Local reports said no one was hurt in the accident.

Keeping with the Russian theme, a security camera in the city of Smolensk, located some 360 kilometers southwest of Moscow, captured a man fiddling around with his trunk and taking his sweet time to drive out of the parking space. Look at the following video to see what would have happened if had he stayed for a couple more seconds.
