Just one thing "what a tool" !

 

He was stupid and lucky to survive unscathed.

She was driving too close to the centre line in my opinion, but still no excuse for his idiotic manoeuvre.

 

There are dogs in New Zealand that driver better than that.

 

Ruskies... After their economy has started to improve they`ve started doing tourist trips to Finland. At summer there are, at times, a lot of them here. Been seeing some pretty idiotic stunts pulled by them, I instinctively steer clear of them when on bike, and stay extra vigilant while on car near them. They can, without notice, turn right from a left straight going lane, do a hard braking before a crossroads and flip the emergency indicators on in the middle of the lane, hang over the center line when looking for a place to pass so that ongoing traffic has to sway them etc etc... One would think that a Russian semi driver would know how to drive on ice? wrong. They don`t even have a gravel box on them to throw sand under the tires, don`t even remember how many I`ve helped out from getting stuck on red lights, and a pretty good percent of all the trucks driven off the road here at wintertime as "long plates" as we say...

 

Like my Momma always said. Stupid is as stupid does

I'd say the dogs in New Zealand have more brains than that
Darwin would have shuddered.
Kermit the frog is like Einstein compared to that guy !

Deserves to lose his license.
But he probably won't and has 11 children.......EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK !!!

 

I've ridden all over the world in some truly crazy traffic, but never, ever would I contemplate driving or riding ANYWHERE in Russia.

Watching the numerous Youtube videos on Russian crashes has affirmed that decision.

It looks positively suicidal!

Having now looked at this a bit more closely (my initial response was, of course, gotta share this on the Forum), I have come to the conclusion that he is indeed a very lucky man.

About 11 secs in, the Lada starts to go into rollover mode. It's only the collision with the oncoming truck that stops it from rolling. Given that I never see him undo a seatbelt he was probably damn lucky that oncoming truck took him out before he started flipping his lovely Lada.

People make their own luck; gotta say thou' that is a pretty harda55 way to make your own luck.

 

A little too much vodka on the Cornflakes for breakfast is, I understand, a bit of a national problem.
