Speaking of, what is it with the Russians and the dash cams? There seems to be a subculture of recording while driving and posting videos of road rage, fistfights, etc.
- Zelphyr 10y agoApparently there was/is a scam where people would walk in front of your car and then sue you for hitting them. So everybody started putting in dash cams to be able to provide evidence against the scammers.
- D-Coder 10y agoI have heard it's due to the corrupt traffic police. Everyone wants their own record of what happened.
- mlvljr 10y agoSometimes the police has no chance to tell the liar from who's not from what accident participants tell, till a dashcam video appears (can even be from a car, that wasn't involved in the accident, but was passing by). Good thing, we're blessed with this, unlike people in CA, for example :)
- prodmerc 10y agoSame thing as the British and CCTVs
- PopsiclePete 10y agoInsurance purposes. Russia is a strange country. It wouldn't be too uncommon to have a drunk Russian jumping onto your car angrily while you're parked at a stop-light, or someone knocking you off the road on a highway.
