    You know, as long as there are Russians and Ukranians with dash cams we will never run out of entertainment.

    Surprised they don't use the triangular shaped road dividers like we do over here. Those things look dangerous, how they will stop the vehicle after it hits one.

    Looks like around here in the states, it is a wonder they didn't have a secondary accident.

    The good thing is we got a whole lot more trucks to ship over there that are not CARB compliant. :biggrin_2559:

    And that truck will never be fixed. They do not have shops over there. They just run cars and trucks until they stop working and then they scrap them. Maintenance is not even a consideration as a business expense. Its why you see weird crap like tires coming right off the axles and even axles coming off the trucks. I have spent a lot of time in Russia and Ukraine and you are taking your life in your hands every time you get in a vehicle there. It is considered insulting to the driver if you put your seat belt on. They have a 1950's mentality towards safety...... and pretty much everything else.
