Video: Russian driver doesn’t give a sh*t after plunging car into fast-flowing river

Those crazy, car-crashing, cool-as-a-cucumber Russians are at it again.

While speeding along a Russian country road, the driver of the car in question, instead of Putin on the brakes, slammed straight through the roadside protective barrier and plunged his vehicle into the river flowing below.

The next time a Russian driver offers to take a short cut on the way home maybe it’s best to just politely decline.

Amazingly, the lads in the car remain completely calm throughout the ordeal and, instead of plooping their pants like any normal person, have a perfectly reasonable discussion about their best course of action.

According to YouTube, their conversation supposedly translates as:

“Oh, we float!”

“Where we go?”

“I don’t know, maybe to the shore.”

“Don’t steer the wheel, it’s useless.”

“Oh, we float!” – and the award for the biggest understatement of the year goes to…

Who knows what was gong through the mind of the driver as he sped past the multiple signs clearly instructing him to slow down – maybe he just fancied a dip? Maybe the car was overdue a clean and a river-plunge was obviously cheaper than the local car wash?

Or maybe he’s just a crazy Russian? At least he had the wipers on…
