Today we’re back with yet another Russian dash cam tale and this time we’re talking about a pretty unpleasant notion: spontaneous combustion.
The video below shows us a Renault Megane sedan traveling on the left side of a three-lane road. The Megane is in the middle of a traffic jam when, all of a sudden, the entire car goes up in flames.

While the fire starts spreading around the Renault, its driver and passenger flee in terror. At the same time, the “camera car” behind demonstrates what performance driving means - the driver quickly turns around (on the same lane) and runs, as they all expected the Megane to blow up.
