Before I watch it I just wanted you to know what I thought of first after reading that the music helps tell the story...

Those two drivers are dangerous as @%&# on the road, worrying more about who should be ahead of whom instead of following the rules of the road.  The SUV driver was the one merging into another lane, they should've just slid into the spot behind the car instead of trying to force their way in front of the car (without even signalling).  From what I see, it's the SUV driver that's being the asshat, not the car driver.

Correct, however by not letting the ASS hat in for the safety of others the car was also being a dick even if he was in the right.

At the point where they're side by side, the car is actually ahead of the SUV and the SUV then tries to accelerate around and cut off the car instead of just sliding into the open space behind the car.  Had it been me in my Volvo, I would've maintained the middle of my lane and let the SUV scrape itself up against my bumper.  Maybe if he'd signalled I might've backed off, I dunno.  But if everyone takes the right-of-way when it's theirs and yields it when it's not, there'd be no collisions.  Any time a driver decides to take the right-of-way that is not theirs to take, we're set up for another collision, as this almost was with the Mercedes van coming the other way.

Found this same vid in a Crazy Russian Drivers compilation, that made me think about some discussion about Russians all having dashcams these days to help prove who did what to whom, then I came across this video:

I like driving, but I don't ever, ever, want to drive there.

I wonder if you can even get properly insured out there, and if you can, how much it must cost :o

Well, first they check your fingers and kneecaps to make sure you aren't already owning to a different "insurer" ... I kid I kid

As bad as it looks in Russia I can only imagine what insurance costs in India!
