It seems that the problem concerning the safety of overtaking is a very serious one, in Russia. Drivers simply don’t give themselves enough time to complete the maneuver, often crashing, or causing very close near misses. This video falls into the latter category.
The Lada driver in this video goes past the 18-wheeler, despite the fact that there is no real forward visibility to speak of, due to the sloping road. However, with the Lada not being a particularly powerful machine, such maneuvers really need to be calculated with precision, otherwise driving such a car in modern traffic conditions can be quite dangerous and very scary.
Such cars should either be driven very slow and with maximum care and attention, as well as awareness of your surroundings, because if things go wrong, there’s nothing stopping the 1.5-liter engine up front, ending up on the back seat, and coming through both front seats. When you know your car is slow and unsafe, drive it accordingly!
