Russian Random Acts of Kindness on Dashcam

[Nick R]

Sad to say, but with exception of a very few people, you'd never really see any of this kind of stuff here.

While true, have you seen some of the grittier traffic videos from Russia?

Great video, very inspirational/moving.

I think stuff happens like this all the time in the states, it's just that the media doesn't show us this on the news.

I have people offer me a ride when I was a young man and living out in the sticks. I've also helped my share of stranded vehicle get out of traffic.

When my wife and I first started dating, I scored major points with her father by pulling over to change her tire on the highway.

I can't imagine not assisting in any of those situations. But it's true....for the most part people where I live would ignore it or worse...honk a horn.

Around here, people would just drive by

I guess I have seen too many of those Russian Dash Cam videos, I kept expecting some drunk in a Lada or Truck to come crashing onto the scene.

Well that's what MOST people were doing in that video.

+1. And there are lots of others to the contrary.

Given the debacle that is Sochi right not, I have to wonder if this was staged to be some good PR.

What's sad is how little the average American knows about other nationalities.
