Video: Man refuels his plane at local gas station and takes off on the motorway

For once, this Russian video doesn't show a car getting destroyed in a fiery wreck, but it does show a bloke using a main road as his runway...

In fairness to the guy in the video above, using your ultralight trike plane is probably the safest way to get around Russia, seeing as driving around Russian roads is about as safe as well, Russian roulette (we’re starting to see a pattern).

The bloke fills up the tank on his mini plane and then taxis out to the road where he waits until he finds a break in the traffic. He then takes to the skies and goes about his business.

As we said, it’s probably safer than Russian roads, but then again, he probably has to deal with the likes of this...
