Bus driving Russian style

[snoggle]

A new definition of "assertive" bus driving has been created in Russia.

Can you imagine the equivalent in London?

;D ;D

A Russian London Bus driver told me that there is one under investigation as he saw it on Russian tv. But there are too many drivers like that in Russia. Besides they have no proper health and safety laws there. Thats one reason why Russian drivers have a camera on their dashboard to document it for evidence.

Having thought about the video again it looks a bit dubious. I may not understand russian driving practice but the number of vehicles just cutting in in front of the bus looks a bit peculiar. I understand that there are a lot of phoney insurance claims where vehicles stop suddenly and get bashed from behind (or ram the vehicle in front) and then claim for whiplash injuries.
