As the title of this article suggests, the video below shows a bus that’s sitting on a wooden log and using it as a spare wheel. Want to guess where it was filmed? Russia, of course.

We have so, so many questions about this video. First off, how did this bus end up using a wooden log instead of a rear wheel? Second, what on earth were they thinking?

The video shows the bus being towed along the road by a large dump truck so it seems apparent that the bus was involved in some type of accident where it lost a rear wheel. If that were the case, it should be placed on a tow truck and taken to a local mechanic shop for repairs. But this is Russia, a place where things are done a little differently.

Perhaps in an attempt to ensure the brakes of the bus weren’t destroyed by dragging them along the road, the bus is now sitting on a large wooden log. It’s hard to tell if the log has been strapped onto the bus’s leaf spring or if the vehicle is simply resting on the log, but it appears to be quite sturdy and do the job surprisingly well.

If you look closely while watching the clip, you may notice smoke start to pour out from the underside of the log. We’re no science experts, but if we were driving the truck, we’d be a little worried about the log actually catching fire from the friction. We don’t, however, doubt that if it did, the ingenious driver would find a way to deal with it and carry on.
