This latest collection of Russia’s dash cam videos will no doubt make you think twice before getting behind the wheel of your car. It has everything, from stupid drivers risking their lives and others’ just to arrive faster at their destinations, to violent crashes caused by drivers breaking traffic rules.

I hope that these images will serve as reminders of how dangerous driving really is and will help drivers (not only from Russia) be more alert, even when they have priority.

Dramatic accidents aside, the video also has its fair share of funny low-speed incidents, like the one at 4:35 where the driver of a VW Beetle can’t turn right and ends up in a fence, triggering a contagious burst of laughter from the driver behind him.

There’s also a surreal scene at 6:12, when a police Renault Logan passes by the camera carrying a laptop on the trunk lid. You can find all these and more in the video below.
