Drivers in Russia receive their fair share of criticism for not giving way or paying attention to pedestrians, but you can’t always (or only) place the entire blame on motorists, as this dash-cam footage reveals.
And truth to be said, this driver actually deserves an awareness and readiness award for managing to literally stop on a dime, when an elderly woman was walking across a busy freeway in the Russian city of Kazan…at night.
Just place yourself in his position; the last thing you expect to meet in such conditions is a person clothed in black slowly making their way across a three-lane highway, so kudos to him for saving the woman’s life.
Shout out to Tom P. for the video submission!
