when my bf lived over there he said every car they bought came from the dealership with dash cams, i dont remember if its when he lived in Russia or Kazakhstan but all cars came with them, i dont remember what the reason was, i quit listening to the why and started thinking about all the things i would catch if i had a cam on my dash.

Cheers, Cit

Half the things wouldn't happen because the camera would be on the dash, instead of in your hands...

I was looking for another thread, but this seems pretty on topic:

Who said a Lada isn't save?



Nice those on-board camera's in Russia, all recent stuff:




It just doesn't stop, I'm never gonna drive in Russia, even in a truck you're not save



Edit: the on-board camera's in Russia have to do with insurance I was told.

I want a Lada now

A friend of mine almost got killed like the guy on the 2nd video (3:13). He was driving when suddenly a tyre landed on the roof of his car, crushing it. The guy was on intensive care for weeks after that.

The speed and weight of such a tyre makes it very dangerous. I saw that one too. First it hits the little truck, then the car and still enough energy left to make it airborne. I hope this one didn't land on a car.

The Ford at 1:25 of the 2nd

I don't know Russian or any of the other Slavic-based languages, so I don't know what they are saying, but a lot of them don't SOUND like they are panicked or startled by what they just witnessed.

It's almost like its not surprising at all to see a horse using a pedestrian crosswalk, or an Apache helicopter flying lower than most frisbees you'd see at the park.

They're Russian. They stopped Napoleon, kicked the socialist revolution off, and hurled dogs, men, and pens into orbit. Their current czar is so awesome, he's probably duel against Chuck Norris - and win.

Having said that, there's a lot of swearing going on (they're fond of saying "khuy" [cock] and "blyat'" [whore], and there's a lot of references to the mothers of other drivers), and quite understandably so.

I'm still waiting to see a bottle of Vodka flying around.

Indeed, your standard Tuesday afternoon in Moscow is probably something worth putting on Youtube, regardless of what intersection you happen to be standing at.
