I'm mostly curious about what her thumb was doing there in the first place when she was closing the door.

I've pointed a few people towards Mazdas lately. The CX-5 is one of the better-regarded soft-roaders at the moment, and the 3 and 6 are a bit more fun than their competitors, if not as luxurious. Also, Miata is always the answer.

Seems kinda heartless, but that was my thought as well. They already knew there were a couple of bodies that hadn't been pulled out of the boat yet.

I've never seriously looked into tracking-based insurance, but the commercials all say that there's no risk of it increasing your rates. The article says that they don't track speed, only how much time your car is used per day and hard braking.

Meh, I'd consider tracking-based insurance. They're not tracking my location, after all, and the worst-case scenario is that there'd be no change to my policy cost.

First reaction: That's a lot of money for not much car, even if it is in good shape.

Tough noogies. Car should've stopped if there was anyone approaching the crosswalk. If the car had stopped, it wouldn't have hit the dude.

I saw a shitty old chevy prizm with an AMG badge on it a few weeks ago. Pretty sure it was just for the lulz.

I admit to having one tasteful (in my opinion) sticker from my college on my car. Political stickers are the worst, because they almost ineveitably make about 1/2 of the population immediately dislike you, and they're usually outdated after a few years.

I put $20 plastic spinner hubcaps on my 1991 Camry for the irony.

You're talking about the "Prius" logo, right?

The internet kind. Anyway, near my home, there's a few crosswalks at schools, bike paths, etc. with signs reminding motorists that they must stop for pedestrians who want to cross.

True, but there were no crosswalk signals in that clip.

Driver has plenty of time. Guy was visible in the frame from the moment that clip started, presumably visible to the driver (out the side window) for a few seconds before. Legally, it's your responsibility to stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk, even if that means you have to slow down to check if anyone's coming.

Also, dude at 0:23ish is in a crosswalk. I don't know the Russian laws, but in the USA, traffic must yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk unless there's a traffic light.

The actual reason for all the dashcams in Russia is all the scammers who reverse into the person behind them at a red light, then say that they were rear-ended. This is apparently rampant there. Many of these pedestrians seem to be going for fraud as well.

Jalopnik likes trains though.

This appears to be incomplete.
