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.
Apparently 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.
Insurance 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.
