I am glad I do not own a car insurance firm in Russia...I have seen some of the horror and carnage on the roads there through YouTube where everyone has a dash cam for protection against law suits.
Where did these people learn how to drive ??

It is bit skewed view, nobody posts driving where is nothing wrong, so one gets only videos where is something wrong. They have cameras, because of insurance frauds, without camera one has poor chances to get his word trough as there has been so many frauds and also if getting into victim of such fraud there is difficult time to proof otherwise.
Then on big thing is drunk driving, which is really big issue there.
Of course there is also issues with quick change of society that has lead to higher percent of individuals to walk path of greed which can be observed from videos how eagerly people are driving, ignoring risks and having practically no patience at all.
There are however really lot of people driving and really lot of those that drive just fine.
If one has no weak stomach, rucrash.com provides perhaps best window to that world, it has nice google translation too so it is possible to read bit more about incidents. But as site really shows up crashes without filtering them, so one can see also people dying and even loosing limbs and if such is something one don't want to see, then it is better not to watch all videos there at least.
However their deaths are not in vain when videos are shared of how things did happen, as that will give anyone possibility to see what things did go wrong and what to look out for to avoid ending up into similar situation.
