Yep, I can't resist watching those vids on Youtube. A nice mix of emotions including incredulity, amusement, shock, sadness, and a good dose of being glad I don't do collision analysis any longer.
hey don't leave the Asians out

You see so many of these videos from Russia because it's pretty much standard practice for people to have dash cameras. This isn't so much because of bad drivers, but more due to corruption. Apparently it's fairly common for people to intentionally cause an accident and then sue the other person.
According to my Russian friend they are terrible drivers.
Partially due to the fact of less experience compared to USA.
He mentioned that many folks there initially did not own cars until used or new started getting imported. Russian branded vehicles are junk from new.

I watch one once in a while as a little reminder not to push my luck passing in the winter... And to always get snow tires. And always slow down when some clown tries a bad pass coming towards me.

My bottom line on all these videos is that people drive WAY TO FAST. Kira

Very true. I have a Russian friend who says this. Corruption, uninsured drivers, and insurance fraud are the main reasons. It's a jungle out there.

And here in the USA we have cell phones, heroin ODs, prescription drug abuse, combined with the alcoholic beverage of your choice!
You can also learn Russian profanity from watching these videos.
Ho ree crack. You take your life in your hands walking out the door!
Blya, Souka, Tvayou Mat are the most common phrases.
Watching the dashcam videos is amusing but sometimes they will compile the full story with the aftermath. That's when it gets very sad because a lot of the cases these involve fatalities or serious injuries.

I wish I understood what they were saying. Maybe learn some new profanity .

The issue withrussian carswas that you had to wait about 10 years before you could take delivery after your order. It's just easier and faster to buy imports now
