Are there a drivers education classes in Russia?

You've seen cherry picked videos from a 140mln nation where the number of dash cams is approaching the number of cars.

If you are really interested in the answer - yes, there are. Driver candidates have to spend 3-4 months on the theoretical (driving rules) and practical classes (doing elements on a polygon, live driving through the city streets with an instructor). After that each candidate has to pass an exam held by the road police, which also includes the theory test, the polygon and the city driving.

If a man have driver liscence, it doesn't mean that he will follow road rules.

There is joke proverb in Russia: all curious cases begin with the words "Hey, look here how i can!" and all tragic cases with words "You're wrong, look here how need do it". I sure there are many examples of that in your country, just there isn't so popular car DVR for shoot all of that and upload in the Net.

What would you say if you knew that there are more dash-cameras than GPS-navigators in Russian cars? More than a million cameras is sold every year.

And almost each single accident is filmed (in cities usually by more than one dash camera).
