I see a lot of this stuff on LiveLeak.

It suggests to me that there are a lot of crazy drivers in Russia.

What amazes me is  1) so many drivers ignore completely the aftermath of the accident and just drive on plus 2) so many are completely ignoring red lights at some speed, like missiles!! :o :o :o :o :o

Not going there!! ::) ::) ::) ;)

In the case of the pedestrian vs. motorbike, one even swung around the body laying in the road so he could continue his journey...

I spend part of the year in Russia, the driving standards are even worse than you think..... I refuse to drive in Moscow, elsewhere is just about OK.

They CAN drive on ice though, unlike UK drivers.

I'm not surprised from a Country that has one of the highest levels of people suffering from Alcoholism  :o .

It's almost part of their culture and seems to have become an accepted fact.
Hence there are so many accidents on the roads, that people don't blink an eye now when they see 'another one'  :o .

Even so, crazy city to drive in and something I wouldn't want to risk.
It's bad enough round these parts  >:(

Absolutely true but... the level of permissible blood alcohol when driving is zero and this is very strictly enforced - with constant random stops and road blocks.

The issue is that they are very aggressive drivers, tailgating 10cm from your rear is commonplace even at high speed, there are few road markings and zero lane discipline, mobile phone use whilst driving is the rule rather than the exception... I have seen driver change whilst moving, in other words thay are completely MAD!

I think it would be a really good idea to hold some sort of sports tournament there.
Perhaps soccer?

Going by the quality and size of the enormous Ice Hockey stadia I have visited there they shouldn't have too many problems. Mind you, a 36 hour train journey to the next match may put a few off!

seems that the p'd up football fans will feel completely at home.
<rereads>

hmmmm. football on an ice hockey pitch....

the pampered preened puffs can't stay upright on a grass pitch.
They'd all be on stretchers home within 30 seconds.

That video is shocking, truly shocking.

Not just drivers, but pedestrians.  :o
Title: Re: Do NOT take your mig to moscow!!
Post by: Radiomarko on 06 December 2010, 08:27:45
Now the pedestrians are totally pissed! Have to learn to avoid those when driving, equivalant to dogs suddenly rushing into the road.... difficult to avoid.

These drunks are not ready to dash out yet:
