Everybody who’s visited Russia, or has been following the dash cam culture, knows that traffic over there is a bit of an inferno. In fact, this is the reason for which everybody in Russia wants a recording device in their car. Sometimes, it’s the pedestrians that bring the fire and we’re here to show you a few examples of Russian women crossing the road.
While Russian men driving in an aggressive manner are usually the topic of the clips such as the one below, this occasion brings a rather different perspective. As we said, we are talking about Russian women traversing the road.
The roads in the country are usually extra-wide, which means getting from one side to another car be an adventure sometimes. The broken asphalt and the chaotic traffic comes to also turn this into an adventure for the drivers and this is how we end up with nasty situations.
Russia has one of the highest accident fatality rates in Europe, with crashes threatening to become the third-largest health hazard in the country, together with cardiovascular diseases.
The country is making efforts to reduce such unfortunate events though. For instance, 2014 saw Russia imposing hefty fines, which were doubled by rather cool publicity on the matter.
Fortunately though, the description of this video explains the crashes shown here have not led to fatalities. Yes, we know, mentioning the accidents is a bit of a spoiler, but we wanted to make sure you’re aware of the big picture.
