Russian dash cams capture all those horrific crashes, and then there’s this
Last week in a town outside St. Petersburg, a motorist’s dash cam recorded footage of a family of ducks using a crosswalk on a busy street. The duck and her ducklings walk patiently, almost to the beat of the music playing in the video, waiting for oncoming traffic to let them pass safely.
Russian dash-cam videos are world famous for capturing the chaos and unusual happenings of life on Russia's roads. In February 2013, following the Chelyabinsk meteor incident, Jon Stewart of The Daily Show famously reviewed some of the most outlandish Russian dash-cam videos in a segment called "How I Meteored Your Motherland."
