    I could be wrong but it seemed like who ever was driving that vehicle never hit the brakes, and he had plenty of time to do that too.

    Can I assume that the driver is yelling something like "You stupid mudderfudder!"

    Four seconds from the time the dump truck pulled out to impact.
    That's not much even assuming he saw the dump truck right as he pulled across.
    The driver probably thought the dump truck was doing u-turn when he first pulled out since the left lane was open.

    No "In Russia . . . . " jokes? Common' guys!

    It looks to me like that old dude crapped himself. He seemed to do a package check there at the end. I am glad everyone was okay. I wonder if we missed the Russian Mofia GT III beat down on the truck driver after the video stopped?

    Is that a white Mondeo on the right in the crash (waiting to pull up to gas pump)?

    Because he should blow all of his money before he dies?

    Though people saying dying penniless is bad.
    To me that is perfect timing.

    Yeah, I'm trying to figure this out too. Are they they world's worst drivers or do they just have the world's biggest supply of dash cams.

    Intentional car accident insurance scams are a huge issue in Russia.
    The dash cam is how many driver fight the threat of the "planned" accident.

    Did you guys notice the guy in the back of the truck at the pump? He gets thrown out pretty badly. I don't think he was expecting that. Highly doubtful.

    i like how he checks his pecker to make sure he is still alive. I'd do the same.
    Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
