Most of these could be avoided by the driver with the dashcam if they only breaked properly. Like the first clip, dude should have breaked and slowed down a bit before even getting up near that car. It's all about situational awareness.
I can't believe a dog is smarter than those pedestrians :v:

Also, that last clip at the end... [I]whoa[/I]
What the FUCK is going on in that last clip, no way... :ohno:

I guess the fish had some decent company that night yeah?
Man I don't understand some of those people, why even bother getting a dash cam if you're the one driving like an asshole
What about the last clip? Anyone knows?

According to the YouTube comments it's a police vehicle. It's still questionable as to why he's on the floor and the door's wide open though..
Surely they can do better, I can't think of many things worse than falling out of a speeding van with your arms handcuffed behind your back.

To be fair pedestrian crossings in Russia are ridiculously dangerous. They build them over what would be classed as dual carriageways and motorways, where most countries build over/underpasses. A lot of the time large vehicles simply don't have time to stop.

Pretty similar to the cop cars we have here

cops really don't care how you are in the car as long as you are in. Don't know why the door is open.

Not to mention waiting a moment at green lights to verify no dumbasses are going to run the red. It's far better to get honked at and flip off Mr Impatient than get hit in the door by his twin brother.

Pretty sure they are required by the insurance agency over there, which is why we get so much dashcam footage from russia

If you're stopping at a green light, you're delaying traffic. And you should never include flipping someone off in your driving advice.

I never said stopping at one. I said waiting a moment. As in, light turns green, you look to make sure.
Well, you should be looking to make sure anyway. I'd rather delay traffic than get hit by the guy running a stale red, so I'm still looking at cross traffic even if my light's green before I get to it, and if I see someone about to run it you bet I'm going to stop at the green. The laws of physics always trump the laws of man and I'm not willing to spend a stint in the hospital and get a new car because the person behind me is a bit impatient. They can wait five more seconds and we both arrive safe-and-unharmed.

Way to take a joke seriously.

Ah okay, I was imagining a stale green light on a 45mph road and you slow down to 15 as you reach into the intersection to look down the intersecting road in hopes that you'll find a madman barrelling through other cars and into the intersection. If the light just turned green, you would probably notice other cars slowing down at the yellow light if you were tapping into your situational awareness anyway but you're still right. Probably not as much as five seconds though, two max.
