Russian dash cam: restoring faith in humanity









Dashboard cameras are a wonderful piece of technology. Over the past year or so, they have exploded in popularity, especially embraced by Russian motorists.

Why, a quick YouTube search using the term ‘dash cam’ turns up nearly 768,000 results, with an umpteenth portion of them showing some of the most positively, absolutely, undeniably outrageous motoring transgressions from Russian roads.It is easy to draw an unfavourable impression, but that is where this compilation comes into play.

It is some of the most heartwarming footage we have ever seen on the road.Within the first few seconds, you know things are going to end well thanks to the positively beautiful (and sappy) music, enough to conjure images of rabbits frolicking in fields of flowers, deep blue skies and rays of sunshine.For the next five minutes, you will see the absolutely simplest of actions speaking much louder than words: Countless motorists helping elderly pedestrians cross busy streets, stopping for small animals (including a family of ducks) and helping out drivers stuck in snowbanks by any means necessary — even if it means lifting up the rear end of a Lada.But that’s not all.

The most undeniably heartwarming part comes 50 seconds into the video, where one driver stops to help up someone with crutches who has fallen down.We prescribe this video to help alleviate today’s case of the Mondays.

Trust us, it will help.
