Wow, most of (but not all by any means) of the lucky ones were also not to blame for the stupidity.

Well, that was entertaining.

"Oh my god! What are you doing - what are you doing! No, no noooooooooo" from the guy driving on the guide rail with two tractor trailers coming right at him... talk about helpless with too much time to see it coming.

I like how the Russians never seem to sound too perturbed about things.

Quite a few of those drivers were impressive as how aware they were of their surroundings and able to avoid some nasty situations. It also shows that quite a few of the pedestrians are just plain stupid.....

I'm thinking that video has about 50 pedestrians who needed to change their shorts.

There must be just a pool of E36 M3 in that guy's seat

I'm surprised the guy on the sportbike near the beginning did nothing. He could have gone behind the woman to eliminate the chance of an accident, or gone closer to the curb to give her more room. But he did nothing and then acted surprised that he had a close call.

Look how unfazed the guy carrying the tires is

I had a surprise myself the other day where there was a car ahead of me, stopped to turn into a side road across the incoming lane. I was closing fast, but I could see he was just starting to turn so I didn't slow down. When he turned, I was then able to see a smaller car stopped dead in the road ahead of him. Surprise! I had more than enough room to stop but I didn't expect that at all.

That guy was riding like an ijit...

His accent strongly suggests he's an American and unless his speedometer was calibrated in Km's, he was splitting lanes in downtown traffic while pushing well over 50MPH. Either way, he was lucky not to be charged with vehicular homicide (or its' equivalent).

Just an observation, fwiw.

I've watched a bunch of those russian dashcam videos, and the thing that puzzles me is how often there are random trees just falling down all on their own.

Note to self:

1- Be more aware of my surroundings. Maybe take a peek before walking into traffic.
2- Slow it the hell down when driving, a lot of pedestrians don't follow #1, and the last thing I need is intestines all over my van again.
3- Don't piss off God. He may tell the shark to give one warning pass, but still, don't risk it. Maybe the shark decides he didn't hear that part and takes a bite anyway. Even if some larger, angrier shark eats him, thus giving him his comeuppance, that won't bring my leg back.

Watching that made me miss my old John Deere Model 40.
