Moscow's Crazy Roads: Enraged Motorist Makes a Stand

When a Ford sedan equipped with a blue flashing light carved through the traffic on the way into Moscow last week, the driver of a black car behind thought he'd seamlessly sweep past a line of slowly moving cars himself.

But before he could do so, a BMW driver cut in front of him and ambled along no quicker than the rest.

At the next opportunity, the driver of the black car sped in front and remonstrated with the BMW driver. A nearby motorist — whose dashboard camera captured the entire incident — then appeared on the scene, giving the driver of the black car a sharp push and appearing to threaten him.

After checking the BMW driver was OK, everyone returned to their cars and the gridlocked route into the capital.
