» 509 Failures in Communication

  1. Kritz says:

    Where is that?

  2. Snusch says:

    thats not a fail.
    its an epic win

  3. Dustin says:

    Couple things

    1. WTF?!?
    2. Is the safety fail on the van that is cutting eveyone off when they merge without signalling or the idiot texting while riding his bike with his feet?

  4. grond says:

    I just can’t believe it.

  5. Joe says:

    I tried doing that on my bicycle once. I ended up falling and my helmet split open.

  6. Totema1 says:

    Is it safety fail?

    Or is it really skills win??

  7. Trois says:

    Which country it this?

  8. c2 says:

    okay I think this is somewhere in India…no.. nobody signals while changing lanes. but I have never seen someone ride their bike with their feet.

    • Warrl says:

      If it were JUST a matter of nobody using turn signals I’d say “Memphis TN” because when I was visiting there the only person with a Tennessee plate who used a turn signal (that I saw) got pulled over by a cop. Who did not use turn signals.

      But “safety fail” – which one? There were dozens.

  9. V says:

    This is definitely in India. The car that was switching lanes in the beginning was a Tata, and this was relatively safe compared to other shit that happens on the roads there. But I have to say, he has epic skills.

  10. Joe McAwesome says:

    Safety is for the gays.
    I think this is a post fail.

  11. Plop says:

    Woot EPICS SKILL WIN.

    But yeah, safety fail.

  12. Chase says:

    Ehh…hasn’t this been posted before?

  13. duderino says:

    he is the probablies on an circuz. good andvertinsement.

  14. jewru says:

    thats the first time i’ve heard an indian “bro”.

    dude, bro.

  15. CheekyC says:

    I was expecting the worst, what with how that one van/SUV/whateverthehellitwas was driving ridiculously close to the motorcyclist and the guys videotaping, but honestly, I don’t know if this is made of fail or win…

    I need to sit down for a moment…

  16. JB says:

    The real fail here is playing Chasing Pavements by Adele.

  17. ArminVanBuuren says:

    veis? este FAIL si que masmola… luego hay otros que son una PUTA MIERDA como el de la salsa BBQ ese…

  18. Sabour says:

    If he keeps doing that he’ll move from Fail Blog to the Drawin Awards

  19. ranjitb says:

    LOL
    It’s in Delhi….where else ?
    (I recognize the license plates and car models)
    And for those of you freaking out about the cars being too close, thats light traffic for an average Delhi day – you should see how people drive during rush hour

    • hank says:

      It was the light traffic that alomost threw me.. I .couldn’t imagine this being India with so little traffic. Way too calm.

      I’m a great driver–live and drive in US and have driven in Europe and UK also, but I’m not good enough to drive in India-You have to have that kind of talent to even drive a CAR there… I’d never presume to have that much skill.

  20. Art Vandalay says:

    Am I the only one who was disappointed when he didn’t crash? I was waiting anxiously for the crazy part of the video where the van merges into him, but it never came…

  21. fuzz on the concept says:

    Easy rider rides at ease.

  22. Rach says:

    I say this is a fail because hes bound to get into an accident. Win for now, fail later.

  23. Bill says:

    This is a super fail.

    The plates look German but it is hard to tell.

  24. Hunter says:

    Haha lol that’s a win!

  25. whackjob1972 says:

    This is in India. They have some crazy driving there, but I’ never saw anything like this when I was there.

  26. Teh Ty says:

    It may be safety fail….
    But it is riding win.

  27. Tsuki says:

    Fail.
    Lack of blinkers :3

  28. nytshad says:

    You remember the crazy bikers your mother warned you about when you were learning to drive?

    That’s him.

  29. Corby says:

    In eurasian countries, people drive like this all the time, and yet there are fewer accidents and less road rage than in america. I have seen videos of intersections in Bangladesh and Seoul that would terrify any normal american.

    • Skeptic says:

      Do you have data that supports your claim? I would be interested to see the statistics.

      • Ammie says:

        US: 300 million ppl. 1 traffic death per 6600 ppl. 89% own cars.
        India: 1.1 billion people. 1 traffic death per 5800 ppl. .8% own cars. (That’s less than one.)
        Korea: 47 million ppl. 1 traffic death per 4400 ppl. 90% own cars….according to the official word of the korean government*ahem*.

        There are more cars than people in the US.
        Only 63% of asia-pacific claims to own a vehicle.

        The US owns 1/4 of the worlds cars.
        We are responsible for 7% of the worlds auto deaths.

        Statistics un-postable….urls not allowed, but the WHO has lots of info on this stuff.

        so corby?…yer pwnd.
        now stfu.

        • Pedokip says:

          Your claim of “fewer accidents than America” is hardly credible even if you do try to show us some numbers that supposedly support your claim. For one thing the average car in India (and certainly the ones in this video) probably do not have safety devices like those found in America. That coupled with what appears to be very few traffic laws, makes me think there should in fact be a very high percentage of fatal crashes per vehicle. So you can see why your numbers were at first confusing, until you actually look at them and see a key statistic: .8% of Indians own cars! That coupled with the fact that 89% of Americans own cars means that:
          89% of 300 million = 267 million American car owners
          0.8% of 1.1 billion = 88 million Indian car owners
          So as we can see America has 3 TIMES as many car owners than India and yet has ONLY 13% more deaths.

          Im going to quote you but change a name.

          “so Ammie?…yer pwnd.
          now stfu.”

    • Mongoose says:

      I think you should read up on the number of fatal road accidents in India before you pluck another ridiculous statement out of thin air.

  30. Ryan says:

    Where is that? Nothing at all looks safe there xD

  31. CB says:

    What the hell country was that in? It’s not just the biker, but everyone was cutting people off, tailgating, and not using their indicators. Yikes.

  32. Scheru says:

    I thought the guy was jacking off at first…

  33. Bib1887 says:

    Should I be ashamed that I kept waiting for the guy to crash? Because it totally looks like a set up for something on “The Smoking Gun presents the World’s Dumbest….” I’d love to see those guys comment something this asinine.

  34. CB says:

    ps. Corby, your statement is a huge generalization and largely untrue. Countries like India, China, even Italy have far more road deaths per capita than the United States, whereas places in northern Europe such as Britain, Scandanavia, and Germany have far fewer, but that’s because driving of the type seen in that video is not allowed and traffic laws are strictly enforced.

  35. DrFailgood says:

    with all those lousy drivers this guy doesn’t really stand out

  36. Swampwolf says:

    SUPER-FAIL!

    Not only the guy on the bike, but the moron driving while videotaping the whole thing.

  37. RogueThree says:

    And I thought texting while driving a CAR was bad.
    This guy’s not wearing leather or a helmet that fits him either. He gon’ die.

  38. Luwlz says:

    Did anyone notice the load of refugees? xD

  39. Erin says:

    It’s called natural selection folks. He’ll eventually get taken out, but he has probably already reproduced and they cycle will continue… (Didn’t intend for that to be such a bad pun.)

  40. Isaiah says:

    Yep, that’s India for sure, not sure which part though. That’s the way ppl drive there, the text when they’re on their motorbike (since most service providers provide free texting), but they usually don’t lean back and chill like the way this pro was doing it >_< I was in India for 2 months this summer and i’m sad that i never got to see something like that, lol

  41. Tanna says:

    Piloting ground craft win, Traffic fail. >_>

  42. HavUTheenMaWeena says:

    Look Ma – no brains!

  43. Colin says:

    In Soviet Russia, bike rides you!

    • VieuMove says:

      And once again, I feel relieved that someone wrote this joke before me.
      I feel really bad when I think of a joke and am not able to share it … but at the same time, I hate to post such stupid posts centered on overused memes.

      Colin, Farewell. May you RIP in that phone booth.

  44. Vernunft says:

    Cutting people off and straddling two lanes fail besides the obvious motorcycle fail.

  45. Buttnuggets Galore says:

    Anyone who thinks this is a WIN should wait for the hospital report/obituary. Shouldn’t be long…

  46. Error says:

    I was holding my breath waiting for him to fall… but he didn’t!

  47. its me says:

    wouldn’t surpise me if this was italy… they drive like complete idiots there

  48. Gen says:

    HOLY CRAP.

    What an idiot.

  49. thiago says:

    pimping-way-of-riding-a-bike win

  50. By the license plates, this was filmed in or near Delhi. Yes, they really do drive like that in India, and a lot worse, but you see very few accidents, actually. No, I’ve never seen anyone ride a motorcycle that way there…

    • You've Got Fail says:

      And the reason that guy is alive in India is that the way driving works there, is that even though vehicles are at high speed with no following distance, vehicles generally remain in formation except for vehicles wanting to make a move. That vehicle then does whatever they want, and they don’t die (usually) because all other vehicles are either maintaining tight formation or obviously making a move.

      As long as the motorcycle rider maintains a steady course and speed, the other vehicles should be able to know his position and maneuver around him without a collision. But because there are no margins around vehicles, one bump, or one unanticipated move around him, and…SPLAT!!!

  51. Weaaz says:

    india? why india? it can be in thailand, taiwan, afghanistan etc etc. but still SHIT :o
    this is DEFFINETLY a win <– spelling fail. nice skills \o/ WIN WIN WIN

  52. BigTonyDukes says:

    That is the coolest guy I have ever seen. I wanna be just like him when I grow up.

    • jluve82 says:

      See! What did I tell you, good role model fail!

      Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be motorcycle riders in India!

  53. sassyfailsinstyle says:

    I’m still waiting for my SPLAT. Seriously. No SPLAT makes Sassy a sad lady. :(

  54. NO IQ says:

    I’ve seen this on Youtube days ago

  55. LouZha says:

    Any one else notice the tractor doin hiway speeds?

  56. Rhinox says:

    This is in Europe. Germany maybe,Possibly Switzerland.

    • durr says:

      see all those words written before you did? you run your eyes over them and they make connections with the brain that then inform you that you fail at reading.

  57. beesknees says:

    I don’t know what’s worse: the texting motorcyclist or the awful lane changes….

  58. acromegliac says:

    i’ve been here, it’s New Jersey. must not be rush hour though

  59. Cash-- says:

    Future Organ Donor

  60. anon says:

    FAIL for the person with the camera who should have been focusing more on their own driving!

  61. Mongoose says:

    I know where this is – I’ve hear of a place that exists outside of Texas.
    Iraq maybe? Either way they all must be terrorists so who cares.

    • brinnann says:

      You lie! My momma tol’ me them thar other places tweren’t real. They’s jus’ make-pretend like in the movies.

      Srsly, though, sometimes trying to drive across Texas feels like you’ll never find your way out.

  62. Colinski says:

    This would only have been a *fail* if he had *failed* at what he was doing.

    WIN!

  63. Hein says:

    I nominate this guy for the Darwin award. He’ sure to be a winner, real soon ..

  64. Keith says:

    I see this kind of irresponsible crap all the time here in Norfolk, VA on the interstate near the naval base. These crotchrocket riding studs race one another sometimes laying down sometimes standing.. yep… standing on their bikes. Everyone just gets the hell out of their way so they don’t get some dumbass’ brains splattered cross their windshield. Hope they jail this guy.

  65. Jack N. Hoff says:

    Wow, I bet they’re from Germany. they hass bad drivers there. I wish he would’ve falled so a tracker can run him over.

  66. FC says:

    video soundtrack fail?

    seriously… idiots.

  67. Elvira says:

    Fact: Never a cop around when there’s really a need for one.

  68. Thisisawesome says:

    Safety fail, recklessness win!

  69. sistema says:

    I saw the same thing a few years ago in Milwaukee. Except that that time it was a guy on a Harley and he was working on a six pack that was in the left saddlebag. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to ride like that.

    Even If he was riding in a very unconventional position, the cars were all running way too close to each other. Do you really want him on your hood WHEN he drops the bike from being crazy?

  70. woll smoth says:

    how is this a fail?

  71. PonNightingale says:

    At one point, I think I hear a slight Welsh accent? Maybe one of them has a background there or something. But I think it’s India…

    Safety Fail? Style Win.

  72. Bre says:

    mmmmk people, it may be in india… and it may be in canada, but we all know that it’s on EARTH. the planet of the moose :U

  73. ding says:

    I’m surprised nobody seems to realise it’s not an accent from the country it was filmed in.
    It’s a Geordie accent, i.e. from Newcastle in the North of England.

  74. dashi says:

    FAIL? this was the most epic of WINs that i’ve ever seen!

  75. John says:

    That was ftw.

  76. k says:

    Coolest guy EVER!

  77. Destin says:

    This is driving with style win.

  78. dot says:

    he ish meh hero

  79. DCrocker says:

    I’d know that accent anywhere – they are in Indian, and they are likely Indians themselves. They just sound European/Canadian because of the Indian accent and inflection of words on an English-based language.

  80. Nonymous says:

    Equilibrum win! Keeping the highway clean fail!

  81. Jacerm says:

    Epic driving win. Van at beginning gets safety fail, but cyclist is amazing.

  82. sheabutta says:

    listen to the music in the car its some sappy pop song

  83. Cwhut says:

    The passing without a turn signal is also a saftey fail… I see that all the time…
    The motorcycle is a new thing, though. :lol:

  84. someone says:

    Balance WIN

  85. Mediego says:

    Safety fail or Coolness win? You decide.

  86. just4internetfame says:

    all the posts above this one are gay!

    • asimov says:

      Obviously you’ve never realized the futility of making such a blanket statement. Not only are you failing massively at properly specifying the object that is ‘gay’ (ie. the ‘posts’, rather than ‘posters’), but you will of course be flamed and ridiculed by a large majority of the people that troll this site (as I am doing at this present moment). Of course, your name ‘just4internatefame’ does already hint as to your intelligence level, so we shouldn’t expect too much: notice the mild usage of ‘leetspeek’ in addition to what his name tells us about his goals in life.

      • sassyfailsinstyle says:

        Asimov burn FTW! :D

      • MrDan says:

        Obviously, you’ve never realized that answering this kind of post by composing a meaningless semi-wall-ish eye-scramble seasoned by a sense of composition barely suitable for a 4th grader is just a blatant proof of you failure both not to feed a troll and to candidate for the burn of the week you are obviously aiming at ?

        • Beren says:

          Longest scentence in the thread – Win.

          Making a legible point – Fail.

        • asimov says:

          a tad bit hypocritical, maybe?

        • ZapTap says:

          big words don’t make you sound smart, only dumb, as the point of communication is to be understood, and many people won’t understand (I point to “just4internetfame” mostly) so small simple words are much more suited for the internet, in business it’s a bit different however.

    • Weener says:

      Only your post is gay. That’s what I was told, anyway.

  87. Jamie says:

    IN SOVIET RUSSIA, MOTORCYCLE RIDES YOU!

    er, INDIA!

  88. Mrq says:

    I dont know whether to be terribly impressed or incredibly appalled…. Any way you cut it though, that takes skill.

  89. Sir Didymus says:

    I think this should be titled as “Hey you! Out of the gene pool!”

  90. Frank N Beans says:

    First!

  91. nate says:

    this fails. when do i get to see someone do that and get splattered on the pavement?

    • MrDan says:

      Well, next time you try I can film you and you’d eventually get to see your very own splatter.
      Just give me a date.

  92. raiseer says:

    whut?
    how the hell did he manage to hold speed?
    is there a cruise control for motorbikes?
    anyway: awesome vid!

  93. shoobeydoobey says:

    motorcycles = certain death

  94. noyb says:

    Yet ANOTHER duplicate fail.

  95. radaner says:

    It’s obviously a fail. If he’s driving without handlebars why the hell is he wearing a helmet? XDDDDDD

  96. The Pirate King says:

    That’s more of a win then a fail.

  97. Wolfie says:

    That guy’s got a deathwish.

  98. OMGH4X says:

    more like a … WIN

  99. Beren says:

    I call into question the marital status of the parents of all the posters above this post at the point of their conception.

    (oh GOD I’m bored!)

  100. Shadow Link says:

    Other than the obvious safety fail, this is definitely a win, and a lot of it.

  101. alyssa says:

    I believe the fail is with the DRIVER FILMING the motorcyclist

  102. Dracina says:

    Safety fail….. but laziness win!

  103. FACE says:

    I see no fail T____T

  104. luisbg says:

    how can he accelerate without touching the gas? how come he doesn’t slow down?

    • sassyfailsinstyle says:

      Perhaps he is on cruise.
      Also, the car that was tapping him could have been forced to slow down due to other cars on the road.
      Use your brain. It’s what it’s there for…

  105. keith says:

    That’s the best thing I’ve ever seen.

  106. Fuzzy Yoshi says:

    Wow. Epic win on many levels!

  107. Muckrak3r says:

    This is EPIC stuff!

  108. dethduck says:

    The Fonz ain’t got nothing on him.

  109. sewob says:

    That douchebag deserves to get Darwn3d.

  110. Tarantulady says:

    This fails at failing :(

  111. lewl says:

    lewl. win.

  112. WOLL SMOTH says:

    This is an epic win!!!

  113. Anonyme says:

    EPOCH WIN!

  114. Kaishay says:

    Its definitely India, by the accents i’d guess its probably a couple of British Indians visiting.

    I have to ask.. did anyone else notice the fact there was a freakin TRACTOR on the highway!?

  115. nicomo says:

    Its definately Indian with some Indian Brits (possibly from Leeds or The Midlands – with those accents) chatting and having a laugh.

    But the guy on the bike – super cool – Awesome

    This is not a fail – this is a Cool Biker Win

    ! Win Win Win !

  116. G-Fail says:

    This says win all over.

  117. paul says:

    holy shit. I was holding my breath that entire clip.

  118. DJMEELAR says:

    Crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash!

  119. ThatBum says:

    That…is…l33t.

  120. nincanta says:

    ZOMG thaat was ……. lets say on a scale of 1 to 10 that was a 214 AWSOME MANE

  121. broadcass says:

    Thank you come again

  122. Ryo says:

    …at least he’s wearing a helmet?

  123. David says:

    I differentiate them by dot or feather. Anyway, it does appear to be India, but here in Dubai the Arabs are all brain dead and drive the same way, if not worse.

  124. Failer says:

    win!

  125. Sarah says:

    i would piss my oants and die if i tried that

  126. jb says:

    Is He Texting?!

    FTW!
    EPIC WIN!

  127. eizzle says:

    ….
    that wasnt a fail..
    that was a WIN.. he was like.. awesome.

  128. Lor says:

    The licence plates aren’t Canadian. Their laughs sound Indian.

    BUT I live in Canada and I’ve seen this more than once on the highway. It’s not funny – it is extremely dangerous. Fail at life.

  129. Cri says:

    There’s a lot of crazy shit like this going on in pakistan, india, middle eastern countries and presumably south/central american countries and while it’s a bit redundant to say that the white nerd community are certainly a timid bunch, i did not anticipate THIS much QQ about safety… FFS it gets annoying

  130. jake says:

    i think id have to call that one a win.

  131. Tony says:

    all around some of the worst driving ive ever seen

  132. YoMama says:

    ITS DELHI, INDIA.

  133. poopacker says:

    multitasking win

  134. Mike says:

    Sir I believe this to be a WIN not a FAIL

  135. adas says:

    Motorguy wins totally! Change title

  136. Gyro says:

    TEXTING WIN

  137. chima says:

    ONLY IN INDIA :P

  138. TheVladinator says:

    LMFAO, this has got to be the best video on here!!!
    Fail? Hardly, the guy is a legend.
    On the subject of the location of this ‘fail’ video. I have a very good feeling it’s in Dubai. The reasons are as follows:
    1 – In Dubai, people quiet often speak English with an Indian accent, this is because of the vast amount of Indian trades/businessmen that work there.
    2 – ONLY and ONLY in Dubai, would you see crazy arabs like this. Anyone seen ‘Crazy arabs road skating’?
    3 – The road is as smooth as glass! I highly doubt that in India the roads are that good, but I have never been to India so I might be wrong, however I have been to Dubai, and the roads are so straight that a guy could chill on his bike, talking on the phone, whilst driving with his feet.

    *Grammar Nazi shield ACTIVATED*

  139. Devaith says:

    The fail is on the guy driving and recording at the same time.The guy texting and driving at the same time is pure win.

  140. Failbetch says:

    FTW!

  141. adam says:

    more like safety win

  142. English says:

    its in england

  143. Gilgamesh says:

    Are you kidding?

    That is a safety win because he didn’t get hurt.

  144. JonnoJ says:

    OMFG… WOW. This guy has skills. triple win. Riding like that = win. Getting a video of it = win. texting and everything while riding like that = win.

  145. Ariecos says:

    Coolness win.

  146. JuuEi says:

    That’s awesomely cool! :D

  147. Slammer says:

    that’s what you get when you sclammin with the mere

  148. Ganonfan says:

    This man is going to prison. He is impersonating Chuck Norris.

  149. Shlepper says:

    not much of a fail more like awesome win

  150. Themias says:

    motorbike skill WIN
