Shit that's good stuff!

What is it with these guys and power-lines and trees?

At least the horse was smart enough and knew to use the crosswalk, the stupid sheep were just jay-walking!

Just confirms Americans are not the only ones who can't drive!

Thanks,

I've seen drivers like that but they were in Mexico. Down there if you flash your lights you have the right of way.

I like the very first one. Funny when the music starts back up.
I'm not putting a dash cam in my truck. Seems like they cause a lot of crashes

The one around the 7:40 mark where the car sliding down the highway on its roof, pulls over and parks in the emergency lane was quite impressive!

I've spent a lot of time in western Russia. What you see in this video is not uncommon. Short of being in a Bradley (or BMP-3 if you prefer) there is no way in hell I would drive there.

Between the two Federal Cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg, the main highway is a decrepit two-lane pockmarked affair more suited to one of the less desirable areas of Detroit. The attitude of the drivers brings to mind the old "...don't worry, my brother drives this way" joke. I once was in a cab whose driver got impatient in a traffic jam and drove over a bridge on the sidewalk. An old lady who was barely missed started beating on the cab with an umbrella.

Is everyone required to have a dashcam?

I was wondering the same thing. Other than some LE friends of mine, I have never seen people just recording to record.

With the obviously frequent traffic accidents over there, the dash cams are just an insurance policy used to prove who is at fault. I don't think they are required, just a good idea.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Trigger Time 23</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Is everyone required to have a dashcam?</div></div> From what I hear (so take it with a grain of salt), the insurance companies there are even worse at denying claims than here in the states. You need proof that something actually happened and wasn't your fault...hence the cams.
