Note to self, when traveling through Russia, only use Trains, they have the higher survival rate.
 
I'm moving to Russia and starting up a salvage yard. I'll be rich in a month. Does everyone have a camera on their dash over there? I wonder if its so they can prove who caused the accident so their insurance doesn't go up??

Did you see the guy point the pistol at the other driver when he merged?
Yeah, and the guy on the motorcycle that got hit, stayed on his feet, and was able to walk off of the road.
 
Every green light is like the Oklahoma Land Rush and the lane lines are nothing to the average Russky. A two lane country road that we drive on is a three lane road in Russia, a car can pull out and pass another while the oncoming car and car being passed are expected to move to the side so the the faster car can proceed on; double yellow lines are not in fashion over there. If one thinks Russian Roulette is out of style just take a ride in the land of the Bear.

Also when the light turns green a pedestrian better be standing out of the road, they don't lift. I saw in St. Petersburg an elderly lady with two bags of groceries cross eight lanes of traffic with moves that would make a pro runningback envious. Great place to visit but by far not a place to attempt a long life.

I am planning on going there soon. How did you like St. Petersburg?
 
What happened to the rider who just flipped? Did the front wheel lock of a hole i dont see?

Some of the people walking seem as if this is normal everyday thing. No worries, and staying calm.
looked like that guy broke his neck! I guess everyone has a dash cam
