lol at the helicopter
lol at the gas pump hose and hay on the car
I liked the car that got caught on the electric wire at the intersection and did a flip.
Hmm. I wonder how common dash cams are in Russia?
LOL at 5:41 after crashing the driver nonchalantly grabs his stuff and walks away....
The first clip in this video was also a favorite.
Meanwhile in Russia:

Interesting to know what they thinkOriginally Posted by heavenlyboy34
Sharing with my Russian friends.
they won't have time to answer, they're too busy doing 720's across 5 lanes of traffic haha
Actually very common... one of my good friends is from Russia and he stays driving crazy with a dash camera is a big hobby over there.
It's just an opinion... man...
I've seen that happen in Mexico too. I understand if you get into an accident and you don't have proof of insurance, you get locked up till you can prove you have the ability to pay for damages. It might be like that there too. Sometimes it's best to just get the heck out of Dodge before the cops show up.
What scares me the most is the lack of reaction from the drivers behind the camera. Like this is everyday $#@! for them.
Here's a video speculating on why Russians put up with this sort of traffic. The answer is life is still better than it was 30 years ago.

if modern agriculture continues to follow the path it's on now, it's finished. The food-growing situation may seem to be in good shape today, but that's just an illusion based on the current availability of petroleum fuels. All the wheat, corn, and other crops that are produced on big American farms may be alive and growing, but they're not products of real nature or real agriculture. They're manufactured rather than grown. The earth isn't producing those things.. petroleum is! -Masanobu Fukuoka
Yeah, I was wondering if the guy was driving a stolen car.... or is registration optional in Russia? It'd be nice to just walk away...
I've seen a few of these videos, my gut tells me there's a problem with private property, insurance, etc. i.e., the people aren't liable for their actions or they have nothing to lose, so they don't really care.
“One may come to the aid of another being unlawfully arrested, just as he may where one is being assaulted, molested, raped or kidnapped. Thus it is not an offense to liberate one from the unlawful custody of an officer, even though he may have submitted to such custody, without resistance.” (Adams v. State, 121 Ga. 16, 48 S.E. 910).
I guess "hand tight" is good for your car's lug nuts in Russia. Jeez, wheels all over the place
Does anybody want to see insane?
Lane splitting refers to a two-wheeled vehicle moving between lanes of vehicles that are proceeding in the same direction. More narrowly, it refers to passing stopped or slower moving traffic between lanes at a speed greater than surrounding traffic.[1][2] It is also sometimes called lane sharing, whitelining,[3] filtering, or stripe-riding.[4] Alternatively, lane splitting has been used to describe moving through traffic that is in motion while filtering is used to describe moving through traffic that is stopped.[5][6]
Lane splitting by motorcycles is generally legal in Europe, and in Japan and several other countries, and is illegal in many U.S. states, but is legal in California.
The legal restrictions on lane splitting for bicyclists can be the same, such as in California.[7] In some jurisdictions, such as Nebraska and Utah, lane-splitting is prohibited specifically, and only, for motorcyclists.[8]
That and drinking vodka all day apparently.... That video makes bad American drivers look like Dale Earnhardt Jr.

The kids they dance and shake their bones,
While the politicians are throwing stones,
And it's all too clear we're on our own,
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down...
This is, quite literally, insane. Unless it were absolutely necessary to take that kind of risk, it's utterly foolish to do so. I call that 4 minutes of pure luck. Any of those vehicles could have swerved, abruptly changed lanes, etc. that would end that guy's day, badly.
The krokidil usage is affecting the driving.
