I don’t see how some of those even happen. Towards the beginning there’s a hatchback that gets crazily sideways and loses it on what appears to be a dry, straight road. ---

These cars are junk dude, and they ride around on bald tires because they can’t afford the maintenance. Nearly every car there has blown struts :lol ---

To put into perspective…my cousin over there just got a 2008 Infinti QX56. He needs brake pads for the vehicle, which is $100 USD over there…or 800 UAH. His brother and sister live here, so we got him some pads over here for $50 that’ll go back next time someone goes home. Problem is, most people only make about 3,000 UAH a month on average. That’s $360/month. That’s why people can’t afford (for the most part - not saying my cousin as he’s a professional body builder with his own gym) to keep their tires current, etc. Having a car over there is an EXTREME luxury. A typical econobox will run you $15,000 USD…on a salary of $350/month…it takes decades for people to get enough to buy one. ---
