Driving next to a truck in Russia is one of the riskiest things you can do. For whatever reason, Russian truckers are prone to flipping their rigs and crashing into other drivers. This weird phenomenon has been captured by the dash cams of Russian motorists. These crashes often involve massive amounts of damage to both the rig and the car/business they plow into. You can check out some of the most harrowing Russian truck crashes ever recorded below.

Few things in life are more terrifying than watching a Russian tanker truck flip right in front of you. Thankfully the tanker didn't explode or this video would've been a whole lot worse.

Sleeping truck drivers are dangerous no matter what country they're in. This sleeping Russian trucker doesn't take anyone else out, but he does manage to flip his rig.

You don't even have to be on the road to become an (almost) victim of a crazy Russian truck driver. This guy is lucky that one of these two vehicles didn't crush him/blow up the gas station.

In America, most drivers need only to put up flares or small cones to protect themselves when their vehicles are disabled. That isn't the case in Russia, as evidenced by this video.
