It seems almost like he went *"Oh yeah, I have to be hit by a car before I get to work today! I almost forgot. Oh! That looks like the kind of hood I could easily bounce off of, yeah, nice and comfortable. OK, off to another productive day at the smoking office"(*translated from Russian)
OH SHIT! The one around 1:40 is kind of terrifying.
The woman at 2:49 in contrast is hilariously angry at the application of brakes.
Can someone explain to me exactly how the scams work? It's hard to believe there's a ton of money to be made in vaulting yourself in front of a car last minute.
They try to extort money from the drivers, not all that different than the organized car-crash shit that happens in the states. They're so greedy and desperate in Russia, though, that they literally almost kill themselves to do it sometimes.
My favorite is the one where the guy drives over the man in the street. Guess he's gonna regret that one probably.
This is a story from 93. I can't seem to find the video. Basically, they have doctors and lawyers who are in on it too. Doctors charge a shitload for false medical treatment, lawyers get settlements and take their cut. In the video I saw, a doctor charged ,000 for an ice pack applied in his waiting room multiple times a week. Since it's hard to prove it didn't happen, they get paid.
