I say this is patently false.  There are several where the car involved more or less disintegrates.  And in 70 minutes of crashes – at roughly one every 5 – 10 seconds (420-840 crashes total) – you are trying to tell me that there were zero injuries?  How about 1:51 or 3:14 for examples? Or 6:07? That car gets crunched between 2 semis headed in different directions at highway speeds. If that wasn’t a fatality, then God was personally involved.
At 9:02 a guy on a scooter is t-boned by a truck going at least 30. No injuries?
I say bullspit.

Lots of people seem to drive too fast in slippery conditions and then if they don’t have a problem, they ascribe it to skill rather than luck, and it catches up with them eventually.

You would think Russians would have figured out the correlation between snow, speed and imminent death by now.

3. Russia Travel Safety Tip: Pedestrians Do NOT Have the Right-of-Way. In Russia, cars have traditionally meant money, and money meant power. Today, this power gives people with cars the ability to drive whereever they want. On the street, on the curb, on the sidewalk . . . over you. This is no joke. If you get hit by a car in Russia, you may be blamed for walking in front of a moving vehicle. Even if you are where you are supposed to be (walking on the sidewalk), cars may drive right up next to you if they are being inconvenienced by stopped traffic.

I especially love how no one uses brakes….it’s all horn until impact. 
1. See eminent collision.
2. Back off gas, lightly apply brakes.
3. Horn engaged.
4. Crash.
5. Release horn.

I’m not one for government intervention, but Russia would due well to force cars to have ABS and possibly AWD or 4WD….that and driving classes.

Now where’s the video of these people yelling at each other and getting into fist fights and stand offs.

As long as I’m only destroying my stuff I’ll be listening to EDM and drifting all over the place when it snows.  (Like once a year maybe where I live.)

2. People who dont have the common sense to slow down in bad weather conditions will most likely have an accident.

3. Lack of government funding for road infrastructure? Where is it?

4. Some people just do stupid things. What the hell is with the people walking into traffic?

Amazing video all the same.

The best thing I did when learning to drive a car is learn to drive the car before you go out into traffic. 1 less thing you have to worry about on the road.
