Let this be a lesson to us all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g434EnjOOuU
Warning it is 47 minutes long, due to time constraints I've only got about half way through it. But it is quite ironic that the only British one I've seen so far involves a cyclist.
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

With the Russian ones it does make you wonder if they wear blinkers as they only seem to look straight ahead.
The sleeping bus driver was frightening.

If that video is anything to go by, it seems everything about driving in russia is optional, braking, stopping at red lights, being sober, looking before overtaking, and of course, driving slowly in adverse weather...
I know where I won't be going on holiday...

They have dashcams because of what happens in that video, stupid drivers doing stupid things, the dashcams being used for the police aswell as insurance and injury claims...
But even here in the UK, dashcams are becoming more and more popular and even get an insurance discount if you have one...

The downside being of course that they can also show if you were at fault.

Add to that just getting out and walking off abandoning the car

We have people who do that around here when parking.
They get roughly in the area of their house then switch off, get out, lock up and go indoors leaving the car 'nearly parked.
