Oh that is nasty!

Looks like something the road safety mods could use for advertising with a few edits.
I know we could see speed and lack of attention but I also wonder how many of these twats were under the influence of something.

Was watching RBT last night and you just have to wonder about some people.

Here we are on the road minding our own business and there are dickheads out there that could wipe us out at any minute.

Be vigilant folks, stay upright.

The ice would make driving/riding interesting, but there is no law against dickheadedness. Amazed at the pedestrains, no sense of looking at all. I wonder what the Russian publics attitude is to these sort of crashes is. I recently watched the video called 'enemy at the door' about the seige of Stalingrad in 1942 where the Russian officers machine gunned thier own soldiers who retreated from the German machine guns, poor buggers were going to get it from one side or the other. I wonder if the same attitude prevails on the roads today?

Strewth!  Is there a law in Russia that requires every car to be fitted with a video camera so they can more easily work out who was at fault in all the crashes?

The plea to slow down won't work, because most of the prangs were caused by on-coming vehicles.

I wonder what the fatality rate is over there.  If Youtube clips are any indication it would be one of the most dangerous countries in the world.
Having said that, I believe per capita it is Portugal that takes out the prize.

It looks like Russian cars are designed to never travel in a straight line for very long :eek
