[QUOTE=Moedookie;37122559][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYEI-bwb3us[/media][/QUOTE] This video is like an example of bad driving :v: like wtf was up with the guy passing the guy who was passing someone?
Everyone was driving like a goddamn retard in that video except for the cameraman and the vehicles in the oncoming lane.
So much stupid. I kinda wish America still had dirt shoulders on it's roads, might cut down on this a bit. It's also good evidence towards massively incentivising dashboard cameras, because without one the idiot could have claimed someone else rammed him off the road and got off scot free.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;37132189]this was in russia.[/QUOTE] That doesn't surprise me at all. There's millions of dumb driver vids on Youtube that point to Russians. I also read somewhere that Russia has the highest amount of dash cams on it's roads of all the world powers, mostly to protect people against insurance fraud/hit-and-runs.
Why are so many of these videos of driving from russia. Like do they mandate a camera inside your car recording at all times for some reason?

I think it's a fairly good idea and I think a lot of other insurance companies across the world should add deductions for owning a dash cam. After all my insurance company in the states gave me deductions for being a 3.5 GPA student, passing a defensive driving course, and for owning an older car. There's a ton of other deductions too that I'm prolly missing. [editline]8th August 2012[/editline] Also, I have to say that the Russians drive a lot like the Greeks. I have never seen so many reckless drivers in my life until I moved here. There are literally at least one memorial shrine every quarter mile because someone or some people died in a horrible accident.
That is one wide ass road.
