Apparently in Russia it is normal to have dash cameras to support or
disprove insurance claims.

Apparently it's also normal for:

Trees and telegraph poles to fall down a lot.
Vehicle road wheels to fall off a lot (and that this isn't widely viewed
as a reason to stop the vehicle).
To listen to loud and dreadful pop music whilst driving very fast.

Perhaps it's just once dash-camera that's captured lots of accidents?

Probably the same here these days, I know a number of cyclists who use them
also, on their helmets.

and just how was rear-ending the car stuck in the stationary queue the fault
of anyone except the driver of the camera car?

Loved the car with the petrol hose still attached

Quite a lot of very recent clips there.

I thought 0:14 was cool...until I saw 4:19

Soundtrack @ 0:58 so appropriate

Someone clearly thought they could park like Russ Swift @ 1:56

Having to explain 4:00 on your insurance claim form

Leaving the scene @ 5:30

WTF were they thinking @ 8:15 ?

Got to admire the horse at 00:34. He just *knows* he has right of way on
the crossing. And he's also just totally ignored by the pedestrians...

Tciao for Now!

I have a RoadHawk camera in my car, which also records my speed and
shows where I am on the map.

I think the horse on the pedestrian crossing has the most sense!



I often wonder if Ivan is taught to drive on the dogems at the local
funfair's. Or perhaps he's leant his skills in the local Vodka
distillery or perhaps a combination of both!...

Seriously a relative spent some time driving in Russia and shes remarked
that some spiritual being must have been keeping watch over her as she
survived on the roads there..

Its almost, all the time, seems that Ivan needs to keep warm with
copious amounts of a flammable imbibed liquid;!!...

that's where socialism leads in the end. To copious intakes of alcohol
to numb the pain.

You can see it on any sink estate or hight street on any FRiday night.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
