Looks like the US isn't the only place where it's too easy to get a driver's license... I'm sure there would be tons of videos on YT if we had as many dash cams in this country. :nonod:
I've been there, they are terrible drivers. It was scary just walking to the supermarket from my sister in law's place. I saw many close calls. I suspect that drinking and driving is a major contributor.
I've not been to Russia (and I don't know if it has been mentioned earlier in this big thread) but I suspect much of the lousy driving going there is due to the fact that it's only been a little more couple of decades since the end of communism there. Prior to the USSR falling, very few people had cars there. So in that context, most Russians have not been driving very long. Plus drivers there have not yet developed the learned traffic patterns (rights of way, when not to pass, etc.) to the extent the West has over the past century of private motoring.
China must be the same way, going from very few drivers in 1990 to millions and millions today. I'm surprised there aren't more Chinese dash cam videos. Government control perhaps stopping Chinese citizens from posting them?
Enough insurance to have a really flourishing insurance fraud industry with pedestrians jumping in front car/trucks/busses and pretending to be injured.
