The scream I would have let out would have been used in horror movies for years to come.

I'd stare mutely into space for about 3 minutes, then throw up.

bingethinker: "Yuri, let's stop in the next town. I need to buy underwear."

"Yeah, me too."

Are you kidding? Typical day in Russia, guaranteed.

I would move, no snow plow, no problem.

/*looks out window*..it must be like 75 out there

Must have been the wodka....its like the third word the guy says.

Why the hell were they filming that?

why are 97% of all the crash videos in russia?

Two things:

What's Russian for 'I just shat myself.'?

and

Who shoots video of themselves driving down the road for no apparent reason?

/honestly!

Oh fudge.

There's a high rate of con artists trying to pull insurance scams in Russia. They'll either jump on your car and claim that you hit them, or they cut in front you and suddenly slam on their brakes. A lot of drivers are using dashcams in order to cover their assets.

For an awesome example see this master criminal at work.

Would have taken me close to 3 minutes to come back down to Earth after the shiat exploding from my rear shot me through the roof of the car faster than any ejector seat James Bond could dream of.... but, I'm sure I'd prolly throw up on the way back down and spend the last minute of my life looking over and thinking, "Hey, I don't remember eating that.."

I really like the the demo video (new window) with the NSFWL ending.

It seems to record well 'at night' too.

Life is cheap in those foreign countries. Nobody cares if they die. Only an American would say AIAIAIAIAIAIAIA!!!!!! I HAVE SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR!!!!!

In Russia, underwear soils you.

Gotta hand it to the driver of the oncoming truck. He got out of shape in rough conditions and drove it out of trouble. Those tires were not locked up.

AirForceVet: bart2puck: why are 97% of all the crash videos in russia?

Obviously you've never had high school driver's ed, did you?

Oh my, I just had a flashback to those Driver's Ed movies that we had to watch. They all had such colorful titles: Red Asphalt, Dying to Drive, Wheels of Tragedy... Every scene was a smashed-up car with some goober and his girlfriend halfway through a windshield or impaled on a steering column or something absurdly gory like that, with a "State Trooper" reciting some stilted voice-over about not being a moron behind the wheel because look what happened to young Walter and Patricia!!!. I wonder if the 16-year-olds of today get to "enjoy" those.

I was glad I didn't hear a huge crash after it passed.

They should probably buy some lottery tickets while the're buying new undies.

sno man
Probably one long low f-bomb, followed by a trip to Wallyworld for some fresh gotch, and the nearest bar for some liquid courage.

"306" like typing detected. Haven't heard "gotch" since I left Saskatchewan 25 years ago.

I had the idea for something like those dash cams but more extensive like a planes black box, and the cameras would be viewing ask four sides of your vehicle and also watching you and keeping a log of speed, brake, signals, etc bring used. Of courser you don't need ask that but the more info you have for your insurance the better.

/had a lady speed thru a red light at me, and since I was making a left hand turn on a red light it was half my fault. She only nicked my bumper but 360' d her truck swerving to avoid me. Even with multiple witnesses saying she ran a red light and changed lanes at the intersection to run it, I was still held half at fault.
BS

In the year 2000, there will such new inventions as the "dash cam"...




_{In the year two thhhh}oooouuuussssa^{aannnddddd!!!}

You can bypass the middleman (at least that one) and order that stuff straight from China. I've ordered stuff from these guys (new window) and always got pretty much what I was expecting. Which isn't saying much but hey it's cheap.

Bunnyhat:


I have a dash cam for my car. Spent $200 dollars on it. Starts recording when I turn my car on, overwrites older files first and saves about a weeks worth of average driving at a time. If I get in a wreck or accident I can save the file and use it for proof that I did no wrong doing.

I bought it after an accident I had last year were the woman changed her story after realizing she was gonna be the one in the wrong. Luckily the cops and insurance companies were able to figure out what really happened, but if it ever happens to me again there will be no discussion about the outcome.

What brand camera do you have? Been thinking of getting one for my work vehicle.

I'd be in wonder at a cop being around when it's someone else who's driving like an idiot.
