120 mile long traffic jam in Russia continues to grow. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=latin_geek;38702034]Wait, shit. Could this be because of that mass hysteria reported earlier today, over Nov. 21st?[/QUOTE] December not November and I was wondering that.

This was caused by snow.

I bet their dashcams are still filming and they are going to upload om YouTube or an another Russian site.

[QUOTE=Stopper;38701591]Saw a report about this on the news last night - pretty freaky. The government is handling it well though - they've set up tents, water and food stations, etc.[/QUOTE] It's nice to hear the government is Lenin a hand.

In case you haven't noticed, the car would randomly swerve out of control, and that is because of the poor infrastructure of the roads and the fact that the cars don't have much maintenance on them

After being on gravel roadways for 6 hours straight I can assure you that poor road infrastructure has nothing to do with piss poor drivers.

Its simply a matter of watching where you're going on a large scale. [editline]5th December 2012[/editline] The roadways that are in the video aren't bad either, its comparatively decent to what we have here. I'd say its more of a issue of people not knowing how to properly drive, no proper street signs and idiots that don't maintain their vehicles. The latter happens here alot, people buy some shitty used wreck and don't bother maintaining it because they don't know how.
