I've seen enough of these Russian dash-cam videos to know I never EVER want to drive in Russia.. the standard of driving there sends shivers down my spine every time I watch them.

Aye. Not only that, but the amount of wheels that just fall off. I would never trust their cars. :|

I'm sure you could make a best of video like this for north america and it would be has funny as this one.

I've seen once in Quebec City an old man doing a u-turn on Robert-Bourassa Highway (100KM/H speed limit) to take an exit he just missed. He literally put the foot on the break pedal while the guy behind him was driving at probably 110 KM/H. The guy behind was barely able to avoid him by going in the adjacent lane. Had a car been in the other lane there's no way the guy behind was able to break in time.

Im not sure.. been driving about 15 years and have only seen 1 or 2 accidents. I know dumb drivers are everywhere to be found.. I just dont understand the concept of recording while driving.. is it standard practice over there?

They have dashcams due to the insane amount of accidents that happen purposely to fraud the insurance companies. People try to throw themselves infront of cars, as well as having no real standard for how the cars physical shape should be. All this has resulted in people getting in accidents constantly, and then, before the dashcam, having to pay a lot of money due to insurance not covering.

Now though, since most have a dashcam, they can prove to the insurance companies that the accident was not their fault.

Yeah but you != best of for 346 millions of people (Canada + USA) ;)

nice to quote what you wanted... you also forgot Mexico as part of North America. I was speaking more to the ability to create these montages due to the dash cam... do you believe there are that many people in North America with dashcams AND catching accidents like this on video? :rolleyes:

how come everyone in Russia has a dash cam?

I don't have one because, I think, it's bad karma :D None of my friends or family members have one either.

But, some people buy them for one of the two reasons:

1) To prove their innocence and avoid liability if an accident happens;

2) To record an accident or something funny and post it on social networks to get a tonne of likes!

Contrary to popular belief, dash cams are not that expensive and the Chinese-made models (those with the green font) are downright cheap costing $25.

I should also mention that lot's of videos shot in the countries like Ukraine, Poland, or Moldova are uploaded on YouTube and packaged as videos from Russia.

Maybe these people should spend a little less time buying cameras and a little more time bolting their wheels on properly :shiftyninja:

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.
