Vladislav Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) Everything I saw was crazy terrible. But... i drive this roads for last 18 years. I saw some exidents of course but can't say it's going on every minute/hour/day. I can remember only 2-3 moments what happened before my eyes. The rests of many others were seen though. If you looked the movie well, you could note some of ephisodes were fixed ouside Russia. Roots of the problem: thin 2 way roads including most interstate roads. With high increased traffic for last 20 years. Most country's territory have 6+ monthes winter conditions. Some people still driving drunk. By the word - a punishment for ANY alcohol in blood - 2 years licence off. In real police takes black money. But the tax starts from $1000 equivalent. It's not a little bucks overhere! As for me I NEVER do it. Ending up - the movie is the compilation of MOST terror road excidents. For about 2-3 last years. Of course there are only crashes that fixed by dash cams. So you can multiply on 3. My pair of cents - here are pics from this past winter trip. All this was seemed by me in Germany. During 200 km. I covered 800 that day.

farmer52 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I know whats wrong...... theyre all driving cab overs! that will mess with your driving no matter what.Yes, tell me about it. It takes some time to learn where to place it on the road when you don't have a hood in front of the windshield. I get nervous in construction zones with the concrete barriers on the line and narrow lanes. And then you have a semi passing you.

Vladislav Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 There are no long nosed tractors on roads in Western Europe.Russians drive them extensively.We have another road standards. Max. length of a road train is 20 meters with a trailor/semi or 24 with two trailers.Pair years ago government initialized a low to minimize allowed length down to Euro standards.Most American trucks must to went off highways excepting short trailers, as gravel or concretes.Prices on trucks with hoods went down for 40-50%.Although drivers began to protest and some time later that unhealthy movement dissapeared.

JumperAndSon Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 All that I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That makes Cops look like bumper cars. I love seeing a good wreck, but many of those were unsurviveable. Makes you think how fragile life is. And I would only drive an R model with a cow catcher on the front, would save me atleast.Tim Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28027-slow-down/#findComment-143708 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Nice collection of road action.There are many f**k'n stupids on there and overspeeds.Can only note that all is true.In real I must to drive streets/roads at least one year everyday to fix one accident of the kind from the movie.That's way i don't use dash cam. Driving Mercedes G for everyday though.
