How not to try and get out of a speeding ticket.

Very funny. I love the grin on the cops face when he knows he has them by the balls in the end

Let me guess - they were arrested and the cops uploaded the video? Hard to understand how it got on to YouTube otherwise. Can't see the English-speaking cop having any problem with the video going public but those two morons in the car certainly deserve a few nights in a dark cell.

Of all the nationalities to pretend not to know their own country's speed limit, he chooses The Swiss. I wonder is there a wasting police time offence in the Ukraine? Also if yesterday's rumble in the parliament is anything to go by, I woudn't want a night in the cells.

Brilliant!

I think Joe Stalin's policies in the 1930s caused a massive famine in the Ukraine so maybe that's why they were reluctant to reveal their true (Russian) nationality to the Ukrainian cops by showing the driving licence.

Best emulation of thick British tourists I've seen since the Carry On Abroad movie - the one set in Spain - 'I say look here, we're British'!

He said they were from Switzerland

I think you're missing the point - they were behaving like people who think their country is so superior that they don't have to obey 'foreign' laws.

'I say look here, we're British' is a quote from the Carry On movie I mentioned, reflecting the attitude of a lot of British people when they travel abroad and think they should be treated as superior.

On their website, the British Foreign Office continually have to remind their citizens that (1) they have to obey local laws when they travel abroad and (2) the British consular staff can't magically spring people out of jail just because they're British.

Hence the comparison I made with those two idiots.

Assume its a spoof video, who would have filmed it?

ShadowHearth · 25-05-2012 12:38pm

Omfg! That's is so funny, it's even funnier when you understand Russian! In the end cop just says ( in Russian ) well lads, let's go sort it out documents so?

Ah good find.

Dash cam job. Not a spoof at all.

Yeah, it's probably not a genuine video, it looks like a viral with the advert at end chopped off.

That's kind of funny, I can spea Russian and what those 2 idiots said in the beginning of video:
- a feck, cop, wtf he needs from us?
- I went over speed limit, don't worry, I will predent that we are foreigners, just don't laugh and make serious face.

They just tried to get away from ticket it this stupid way. It has nothing to do with politics FFs.
