6.39 now thats a proper tank-slapper

Scary amount of random stuff just dropping out of the sky or falling off vehicles, and that pedestrian @ 1.42!
Not sure I'd want to be a roadie in Russia..

How the hell people actually survive these incidents is beyond me 😯

You have to laugh at the number of people just casually walking away from a crash- a shrug of the shoulders and a "oh well....." 😆

@vanillas link - assume the dog got it at 1.38

Yes, the dog got it but surprisingly it just picked itself up and ran

At 1:40 you see the tough Russian dog just picked up and ran across the road ... errm ...

The Russian are tough people ... 😆

Amazing that in the winter on the straight road they are still driving so fast ... no concept of danger at all.

Glory to Russian!

I love car dash cam me ... think I am going to get a Roadhawk ...

Two days ago I was driving in a an area populated by minority here in the NE when a youth just ran in front of me, think they were having some sort of gang fight or something. On the way back the were police investigating the incident. The road limit is 30mph but I was just coming starting off from green light so my speed was around 20mph ... if I was driving at 30mph I would sure hit him.

The amount of people who put a camera in their car and then drive like idiots is incredible!

That is possibly the most stupid use of a motorcycle I've seen on Youtube that has ended well - but will eventually end badly.

4:10 onwards! Holy crap!

And earlier than that when he's popping wheelies into oncoming traffic.

Those power lines will be the ones for the trolley buses I expect. Lost count of the number of times the pick up hooks fall off the cables in the middle of a big junction and the driver has to hook them back on.

Some of that driving is exactly like that I witnessed. In the rush hour the cops park down the central reservation. So drivers just drive down the wrong side of the road!

Can't believe I didn't die in the 3 weeks I spent there. In fact from all those vids, I wonder how there can be any Russians still alive. When we saw the first ambulance in Moscow, we shat ourselves for the rest of the trip, and literally prayed for 3 weeks that we wouldn't need one.

I do remember seeing a car crushed to the size of a wheel barrow just sitting in the middle of a three lane road in central Moscow. This was on my taxi ride from the airport. Did put the shivers in me a bit.

That bloody music; dust everytime.

edit. Actually piss taking aside, I bet if we British drivers had dashcams on that we wouldn't see half the courtesy or respect (especially to elderly people) that that video showed.

When I was in Moscow my Russian colleague took the piss out of me for being such a wimp by wearing a seatbelt 😯
Russian driving and their attitude to risk is indeed scary but I reckon if we all had dash cams in the UK there would be quite a few crazy things like this captured.
