Just have a quick butchers at YouTube - plenty of russian in-car footage compilations to be seen.
I sent the links to a mate to mine who'd lived there for many years, and he said it was becoming standard practice - because of the large amount of 'faked' accidents that occur - like somebody running and jumping onto cars, then claiming 'you hit me'; as well as the abysmal standard of driving there.
He also says the language from the drivers is rather fruity at times!

Look at this one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeN7zJhtg60

Locally, many of the motorcyclists are now fitting GoPros to their helmets as 'proof' if ever they are involved in a smash, or near-miss.
There have been prosecutions where dangerous/reckless driving has been reported and video evidence supplied by motorcyclists/drivers.

I've got a Go Pro camera on the GS - stunning bit of kit. Broadcast quality HD vid from a cheap rugged little camera....
