A friend sent this link to a video on Youtube showing footage from various dash cams fitted to Russian cars. Hold on to your seat!

Dear me! I've long been a critic of Perth drivers, but after seeing that, I think I'll shut up!

Cheers, Tony

Some really crazy people out there I think we will see more of this in Aust as dash cameras become more popular.

Unreal!!

There are a lot of insurance companies in Europe that offer discounts if you have one fitted to your car, in Russia, it's for the road rage!!

Still unreal though.

Good post Gary

We're fortunate here to not have the snow and ice they do. I also like the way they spit their words out and the women sound like men...

 Then whatever you do then, don't drive through Ballarat! Worst drivers ever and this is from someone who once lived in Melbourne!

Ballarat drivers take a good look to make sure you're the only car coming for three city blocks, then pull out in front of you and dawdle along 10-20klm under the speed limitfurious

They also have a penchant for driving around after dark without lights. I almost got T-boned a couple of months ago at a central intersection. Young driver, black car and no headlights and whoever was driving had the cheek to toot me when I pulled out in front of them. The worst thing is that had we have collided, I would have been in the wrong for failing to give way at a give way signno

My God father! I should have watched the video before commenting on Ballarat drivers!

I can't believe that guy in the closing moments. He gets pitched right through the windscreen of his truck and then stands up and walks away!!

Maybe it was the music, but I had goose-bumps up my spine the whole way through that!!
