A dashcam video on YouTube showing a driver's sensitivity to the honking of a horn in Novoaltaisk, the Altai region.
Blaring horns are a common sound on Russian roads, warning drivers of an impending crash if they don't act quickly.
But honking isn't often known to be the cause of an accident.
A dashcam video that has gone viral shows a driver who is perhaps being a little oversensitive to the honk of a horn. The video, uploaded last week and garnering nearly a quarter million views as of Monday, was filmed in Novoaltaisk, a town of 70,500 people in the Altai region.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
