A normal trip even to the Big Village, which is only 20 kilometers, will entail at least two of these type of drivers. They will drive on your side of the road and not care if you get out of the way or not…
The other day when I went to the Big Village, this woman (about 30 to 40 years old) was on my side of the road and just driving along like she was sightseeing, right at me. I stopped and pulled over to the shoulder. There was not another soul anywhere in sight….she drove by me and never looked at me and never went to her side of the road. She was not weaving and looked calm…I dunno? But I realize that if I did not pull over and or get out of the way, she would have run into to me, there is no doubt in my mind…
I am not sure of this mentality, yet the roads are full of these “Russian Kamikaze Idiots”…
I realize that I have found these types all over the world, but in Russia as per percent of drivers, they are plentiful and dangerous. I dunno…
My solution would be to drag them out of their cars and beat their ass silly and maybe they would learn to quit putting everyone’s lives in danger! Yet I am too old and would get my ass beat instead….These are the same idiots that run crosswalks and stop lights constantly. It is like they have no comprehension of what they are doing behind the wheel of the car…
Other than that most driving is wonderful in Russia…
