A video to restore a little faith in humanity

Oberon · 05-06-13, 10:24 PM

As most of us know, dash cams in Russia are there to catch the bad side of humanity, road rage, crashes, scams, but occasionally, just occasionally, they also catch the good side:

Not a whole lot to add, but a bump and a +1 for a nice post from a nice guy.

People are people, good ones and bad ones. It's too bad that the bad ones get so much press that we need our faith in humanity "restored". Still, it's always nice to see people doing nice things.

Thanks Jamie.

Absolutely fantastic, a rare thing today, a video that makes you feel good!

Thanks.

I wish I could watch that video...but my internet is being spotty.

I don't have much faith in humanity anymore.

Thanks for posting this. It's very moving. Like the guy says in the Youtube comments, Russians are good people by and large.

They've had centuries of oppression, invasions etc and they've developed a deep spirituality. I hope the goodness spreads.

Not a bad way to start a computing day.

Excellent!

Actually it's kind of sad that this behaviour has to be marked as something special. I try to live the way shown in the video (helping people who got stuck in the snow etc...and generally trying to be a nice guy) but I've noticed that this has become pretty rare or you get even looked down upon you by others.

Nice one!

I must admit I expected any second that the guys beat up the grannies and rob them (or vice versa), or the person at 1:15 getting shot with an AK for touching another car...

Great to see that kind of video for a change. But the pedant in me must point out a couple of things.

1. 4.36 - 4.43 is UK footage.

2. When our Norwegian lords and masters visit us and talk about how the company is doing they always mention the eastern European ventures, specifically trucks entering Russia (amongst others) where all the correct paperwork is supplied and still a substantial 'fine' is levied with no further paperwork given or requested.

But yeah, nice to see the good stuff.
