Not All Russian Dashcams Record Carnage

Click here to view the embedded video. Russians apparently love their dashboard mounted video cameras. Those cameras have provided us with eye popping as-they-happened views of car crashes, truck crashes, and even a plane crash or two. Sometimes the videos are of very close calls, others record vehicular mayhem, injuries and, sadly, fatalities. So it's refreshing to see that someone has made a compilation of Russian dashcam videos that show human beings at their best, people stopping to help elderly and infirm pedestrians get through traffic safely or folks lending a hand to motorists and others in need of help. I'm sure you could put together a compilation like this no matter where you live. Living in Michigan, there's usually an ice storm or two to experience every winter, resulting in downed utility wires and non-functioning traffic lights. People still have to get to work and it's always warmed my heart to see people taking turns to get through major intersections. No arguments, no honking, just people acting like human beings are capable of acting, despite a lack of a working traffic light or a cop on the scene. There actually are good people in the world.
