[Russia] Example what can happen when child safety seat isn't used.

Hey, so this is sort of interesting, sort of discovery for myself too.
I never knew that person can be thrown out of the car through rear window.
Was watching Russian news and saw this, basically a family was driving Mitsubishi and lost control, got thrown onto opposite lane and crashed with back of the car into a truck. A little child/kid was thrown out of the car through rear window and almost got ran over by truck (but truck driver noticed and stopped).
Apparently the father didn't have a child safety seat and the child/kid wasn't even having a seatbelt.

Some luck it was.

Even then it seems to be pretty **** idea to overtake in such case

I think these type of instances are highlighted in Russia due to the common use of road cams over there for insurance fraud cases.

Id imagine you would see similar sort of things appear here and the continent if these road cams were as common.

I notice practically no one uses camera's here! I recently bought a €5 iPhone dashboard holder to record all my driving, just to cover myself in any incidents. You wont believe the odd looks I get???

Hold up a second now.

How is this an example of what happens without a child seat if the kid wasn't even wearing a seat belt?

This is what happens when there is no seat belt used in the back.
