Yup, green means go and red means
'motherrussia' so you can go as well.

No seriously, russians can't drive, maybe it's the
wodka or the bad streets, don't know, but this is
not my opinion it's just plain statistics, listen to this: :o

"Traffic Accidents Kill 32,200 yearly in Russia"

In 2002, 32,200 people were killed and 215,000 were injured in
184,000 traffic accidents in Russia, the Moscow Times reported
Wednesday.

Damages incurred in the car accidents hit 182 billion rubles
(about 6 billion US dollars) last year, or a whopping 1.6
percent of 2002 gross domestic product (GDP), said
Vladimir Kuzin, a department head in the traffic police.

"In Europe, three to five people die in every 100 accidents,
while in Russia this figure is 14. This is too much."

I never applied the "fake" title, but I did question the tire squealing slides on wet asphalt. I just chalked it up to " typical production methods". But yea, clearly uhh, enhanced,, or, fake, yes. The sounds were pretty equal in volume, regardless of the distance to the crash from the camera.

They could make a movie of the USA and it would look the same.

I see less traffic than the US but the crashes seem to awfully violent. Also, they are all from traffic surveilance cameras.
If I had to live there it would be out in the rural areas with even less traffic and softer escape routes.
