No Cathy, i am saying that the dashcam footage starts to look the same.

While living here in Ireland I watch all crash compilations from Poland, and you can see some crazy stuff there (not as crazy as form Russia but still).
One could think that Polish roads must be lethal and very dangerous.

However I lived there in Poland for 25 years up to around 2007, and driven there for everyday for 8 years, and never really seen or experienced any of the mad stuff you see on those dashcam compilations.
I still go there regularly and spend there good few weeks every year, and all traffic seem going normal way.

Possibly it's exactly same scenario with Dutch dashcam videos.
You got different impression of road safety/behaviour when you lived there, and you get different one when watching a set of road accident videos from there in a compilation.

I can even nearly bet, each one of us here could go to Russia, drive for a month all across the country, and don't experience a single incident which all of us watch on Russian compilations.

No mention of any sanction for the bus driver who caused the crash in the first place!.

Just before impact you can see the truck spin out of control and into the into the oncoming lane

Yeah, because he shat himself when he saw a bus barrelling down on his side of the road, hit the brakes, wet road, rest is history....

It's hard to believe he would have handled it any better if sober.

Lorry driver head cam, something different - just be aware it could make you sick.

That truck at 1:15... that's straight out of Grand Theft Auto or something, cannot believe it's actually real. The hell was wrong with that truck driver. Drunk, health problem? Jesus :eek:

Very poor lane discipline in the States.
