I suspect that you, sir, have made my brother's day.

It's like culturally they've decided to say "well, WTF, I've already made a driving error, I may as well crash the **** out of this."

Also, Russians seem to be physically invulnerable to vehicular harm.

It's probably the vodka, on both counts.

That was fantastic. I love how something **** up happens, and the videoing car just turns their wipers on and keeps driving.

Part of me wants to be thankful I don't drive in that country, but part of me doesn't want to think about what we might see if we had a camera on every dash in this country.

I just imagine all of that happening on one drive as being completely normal.

I completely relate to the clips involving animals running across the road. You haven't lived in rural or even suburban New England until you've hunted deer with a Volvo.

Deer are one thing, Rynar, but horses? Sheep? Domesticated animals are somebody's property, and ought to be managed rather than free to roam about onto roadways...

I call these two videos "Why Russia can't have nice things."

Also, it appears that democracy does minimal personal rights to litigious society in about a generation flat, these days. This is depressing.

Imagine a country where insurance is a "right." Now watch those videos.

How scary is that?
