Russian Road News

Masha as a Border Guard**

Incidents of "terrible" Russian driving, road conditions and road rage, are very well documented, due to the large number of vehicle dash cams. The Internet claims that the cameras are because of the VAST numbers of fraudulent insurance claims within Russia.....
.......is it rampant? -

I personally did not see a single problem when I was there (2 mo.)...so I am liable to believe that this is a misunderstanding on the part of the ignorant.

I think that the dash cams are merely the Russian way of "an ounce of prevention" 

See how this young Jackass makes a fool of himself:

Wow what a clown!
I wonder if he is related to the fool in the next video:

At least they should win a prize for bad acting!

It is the same principal when you go shopping. Almost every store (big and small) has an unarmed security guard, who will (usually) politely ask you to check in your bags at a locker by the front door. He also provides a presence to dissuade shoplifting. Here in Canada, a security guard is rarely employed in such fashion; rather, the stores rely upon electronic surveillance (the Russians do that as well ).

Is the Russian method better than ours? 

I think that what it is, is that they are ahead of us in this area, and that with our own retailer's rising costs due to shoplifting; the Russian example will eventually be used here as well.

phwew!

Regardless....

...thanks to the plentiful dash cams, there is always much in the way of entertainment, coming out of this wonderful country.

See how a Russian road rage is resolved -with axes and bats! 

-don't worry it is SFW

And how Russians help each other in everyday fashion; as the educated, decent society they are.
