I'd like to have one of those russian in car setups myself. A front and rear would probably be the best but i honestly have no idea what i would even need to set it up. It's only a matter of time until i get hit on the way to work, more near misses than i can count.

So buy one. If you don't need HD they're pretty cheap.

This guy took a beat up Subaru 360, fixed it up, passed the Japanese Shaken inspection with it, and drove it to Budapest and across Siberia.

I'm sorta surprised they didn't use inboard brakes like the FF-1 did, but I guess there's no room for them!

Saab's "Night" mode shuts off the bits of the speedo you aren't using, and they come on as you speed up, but that's not quite the same.

Pretty much this. In 'night mode' with the previous-to-the-last generation, it lights half and change, and then crawls up as your speedo does. It doesn't do it in more than three increments, though.

After seeing a bunch of Russian dash cam videos, I'm pretty sure every car there must have a breathalyzer that won't allow the car to start unless your BAC is at least 0.20. :v:

Out here, everything hurts.





I'm amazed when watching the dash cam videos, as so many of those crashes are caused by people going ridiculously too fast for conditions.

Everyone else here is only going 30, idiots, I can go 75 no problem!

Most of them honestly seem to be people following too close and not paying attention, just like here. The Driving in Asia compilations from the same guy have hilarious moped accidents and the occasional WTF like a completely smooth highway mountain road in the rain.

FLIGHT SAFETY TIP: Fatties out first

It does seem to me that while all makes and models are involved in those Russian dashcam videos, it seems like the exceptionally stupid poo poo is reserved for those boxy old Ladas/VAZs. My guess is that they're probably cheap as hell and driven by people who've never owned a car before (or people who spend all their money on vodka).

Actually, they're the only cars strong enough to survive the accidents, so they're usually featured in multiple videos. There was one video a while ago where a guy got t-boned pretty hard by another lada, and his door just fell off and he was absolutley fine. he probably drove around for another few years without that door.
