So... this bit at the timestamp that hopefully links (1:20 if it doesn't) could have turned out a lot worse.

After watching a lot of the videos on that channel, I have come to the following conclusion with Russian drivers:

- They have no idea of anything happening outside of their own car
- Red lights = drive faster
- Braking is for wimps
- Turning left in Russia is almost a death sentence
- Someone should check the axles in their trucks
- Anyone driving one of those old Fiat 124 looking Ladas are probably drunk and uninsured

The left turn driving lesson was interesting, so were the reversing out to traffic (looks like no one was at the wheel) incidents

What's with all the people spinning out while turning at intersections? Do Utes have so little traction they can't gently turn and accelerate at the same time?

Gotta get that oversteer maaaaaaate

Usually a combination of poor arsed idiots with poo poo tyres and no real driving experience. A good example is a heap of RWD Falcons and Commodores with standard steel rimmed wheels on the back that are half the width of the front tyres

It's a 'Best of'! In Russia they have dashcams because everyone is an insurance scammer. In Australia it's because we know everyone on the road is a drongo.

Tradies Utes are the true enemy on the roads

God I remember back in the 80s backfiring cars were a common thing, with carb engines and leaded petrol before EFI and unleaded became popular. One of dad's friends had a L300 van that would backfire that badly it would blow the lid off the air cleaner.

And 9:30 to 9:35 - this isn't even English. What even

The 8:30 guy was either an old Greek or Eastern European with Australian level swearing. And I recognise that bridge, in Mooroolbark in Victoria

I have to believe those are foreigners in rental cars. It's too common to be otherwise. I mean, I can count on one hand the number of wrong way drivers I've seen in my lifetime.

It usually that or old aged pensioners in their Camrys or Corollas.

Does Australia get a lot of tourists or something, why does every one of those videos have multiples examples of people driving on the wrong side of the road

Yeah, tons of tourists. Most of the tourist roads have signs regularly reminding on which side of the road we drive on.

However most of the wrong side of the road people are usually old aged pensioners who get confused when they get onto divided roads

I think it’s bad but not the worse I’ve seen, we have yet to reach no prisoners level. Also do people check their tires in AUS? It’s always spin/slide time if the road get a single drop on it.

If it is a P Plater (young driver) in a Falcon or Commodore, the rear tyres are usually bald due to burnouts

It was a bit cruel of the mother to put her daughter's car accident at the petrol station into the video.

Laughed at the blue Commodore owner getting his just desserts for brake checking what looks like a truck.
