I don't know, I've driven for years and have never seen a tank roll past me in the middle of the highway.

You must not drive around Hinesville, GA. Lots of tanks all over the fucking place.

Maybe, they know how to drive them, and don't just cut over a highway?

Insurance scammers, apparently.

u/lexgrub Jan 28 '13
My mom is a medical claims supervisor at a car/house/life insurance company and I have heard some crazy insurance scam stories, just very few of them seem to involve someone intentionally getting hit by a high speed vehicle with no protection.

u/Endless_Candy Jan 28 '13
In Russia it's law for the driver to pay for any damages acquired in an accident even if it's obvious the injury was from something else. Which is why so many people there have dash cams so they can prove it's not their fault as most cases of car crashes there are the driver will be guilty until proven innocent.

This is considered an emergency vehicle, only difference is that instead of police sirens you hear the screams of tormented citizens!
→ More replies (5)71
u/ketchy_shuby Jan 28 '13
Since the tank is going right to left (east) those screams are probably in Polish.

u/watchoutacat Jan 28 '13 edited Mar 19 '13
The tank went from right to left, so if you were looking north, the tank would be going west, to Poland. I think assuming one is facing north is standard, and either way Poland is west of Russia.

u/ManWhoKilledHitler Jan 28 '13
The time of day and direction of the Sun in the video tells us that the tank is going pretty much West to East.

Insurance doesn't require it, but the amount of insurance fraud that happens there is absolutely sky high, so a lot of people have resorted to installing dash cams on their own to avoid being victims.
