We’re used to seeing terrible things happen on Russian roads courtesy of the dash cam phenomenon there, but that doesn’t mean politeness and the basic compliance with traffic rules don’t exist.
Probably the most shocking things in the video compilation you are about to see are the gestures of gratitude pedestrians make when a car stops (at pedestrian crossings!) to allow them to get to the other side. This shows that for many Russian drivers these crossings are still just insignificant lines drawn on the asphalt.
The video also includes scenes of polite drivers allowing other drivers to enter busy streets and merge into traffic. Don’t believe it? Hit play on the video posted below to convince yourself.
