Man drives into giant pothole, then makes a worse mistake

Potholes are no laughing matter. Except this time. According to the source's caption, a water pipe failure in Kirov, Russia caused the mother of all potholes. When a passing taxi nearly fell in, TV cameras were dispatched to record this breaking news story. Possibly sensing fame, the taxi driver got a little over-enthusiastic while demonstrating the sorry state of the crumbling asphalt for the cameras, his traction-challenged footwear failed him and ... well, you just have to see it.
