A friend spent several months in Russia... He said drunk driving isn't the exception, it's the rule....

I'm not surprised with driving like that, it's probably for the nerves!  :old:

That is hilarious!  The best is the guy with the pistol sending rounds after the car that almost hit him while the people in the car duck lol.  Wonder what insurance rates are like there  :rofl
That was my favorite too lol

I'm not an expert or anything, but do the cops not give a single chiz about what these people do on the road?

I'm not worried about their army, that's predictable. If those guys wanted to win a war, they'd send their drivers in.

That's exactly why you feared these guys. If they're like that in cars, what are they like in tanks? In fact we know, ask the Germans!

There is another compilation from dash cams which I saw recently. Far more horrific, some really bad crashes. This video is tame in comparision.

No, he was dead on. Russians have a huge alcohol problem and they don't mind drinking while driving. Not even when they're driving out of the country.

Is it law that everyone has to have a camera in Russia?
I am just amazed how many videos there are.
Does anyone in the States have a dash cam besides the police? Why do all of these people record their driving - for insurance purposes?

I know quite a few people in the U.S. who have dash cams. I'm actually planning on getting one during tax time.

Speaking of a good dash cam recording - here is one that very few people would have believed if it hadn't of been on tape (WARNING: Deer dies. If you can't handle this...idk why you're OK with killing cartoon people on AH ;) )

I imagine if everyone had dashcams, most countries could produce enough examples of horrific driving for a compilation. I have a 45 mile drive to work most days, some of the driving I see on a daily basis is simply shocking. Coupled with the venison dodging I do twice daily I am considering making my own video of a weeks mundane drive to work and the Aamount of road users in a little world of their own :rolleyes:

From what I hear it is difficult to get car insurance in Russia if you don't have a dash cam. Too many insane "accidents".
