Those Russian guys tried to imagine what if the whole life was only in car
universe, with limited space and always moving on top speeds.
Some videos for today. The first one is about the Russian truck ZIL which tries to beat the river loaded with saw wood. Second one is about some guy who uses something that would you never think of to fool the other fellow drivers on the road pretending that those are police blinkers. In the next video you can see how it actually looks like on the road: Road police should be mad, but they really can't do anything with someone having a pair of baloons attached to his SUV's roof. And from the great distance it looks pretty decieving. Next two about Russian army. First
is probably how someone might perceive it. And that's how the young soldiers entertain guys whose service comes to an end. It's an old tradition, but before it was called a "Train for Grandpa". The younger ones call the longer serving soldiers "Grandpas".Now they have bikes instead the trains, but the scenery is being generated same old way. Now if in winter they used ropes for group jumping from the railway bridge, now they jump without anything. And that's it for today, ladies and gentlemen.
A story of a Russian guy going home by the highway and then his car's windshield hit suddenly by a 10 inch (25 cm) metal particle which depleted from the ahead moving lorry truck was popular today in Russia. Having a nice reaction a lot of luck he managed to lean left when the thing still hit him
into the right should and then made a nice hole in the back seat. The driver of the truck that presented him this metal thing first slowed down for a second but then probably decided it's better not to he got away to the next exit. So beware moving behind the trucks!
Meet Ivan Brad, 38, senior road inspector of Russian road police unit. Some PR guys of Omsk city decided to get more attention from the drivers by putting full sized Brad Pitt faced figures that they call "Ivan" on the roads of the city. And same time young lady of Moscow, Ms. Anna, decided
to conduct her own attention experiment. You can see her driving license on the photo above together with the creative wrapping she made. It includes two Durex thingies in it, so her strategy was to look how the policeman's face changes when he gets such kind of ID.
