If there is one good thing to have come out of the high levels of corruption in Russia, it's the dash cam.
In order to avoid false injury claims, bribery and other nonsense, many Russian auto owners have installed car cameras as a means of self-defense.
The first cam video I saw showed a Russian airplane crashing into an overpass and sending debris flying into passing traffic.
The owner of the dash cam stays silent the whole time. The sound of screeching brakes and crunching metal can be clearly heard but not a peep comes from the driver.
In Soviet Russia, plane lands you! Sorry. Couldn't help myself.
The next video was of a van passing on a two lane highway and losing control before slamming into a truck and ejecting a baby onto the road. Miraculously, the baby was unharmed and quickly scooped up by its father. Once again, the driver with the dash cam remains silent.
Who are these people?!
Yesterday, the internet was treated to some amazing dash cam footage of a meteor streaking through the sky over Chelyabinsk, Russia and once again, the owner of the dash cam remained underwhelmed.
He does utter some words, but sedately as if it's no big thing that a bright object is hurtling towards the earth from space.
I speak limited Russian so I can only imagine what he said:
"Hmm. A fireball. Now was that a left or right on Moskva Street? Hell if I know."
