This is in Russia. Warning, there are some fatalities but nothing too graphic.

F*** Not sure if I want to get in a car again.

Some very scary images there Sherlock and what was with pedestrians just walking/running out without looking?

Seems perfectly logical.

The further you go across Europe the worse it gets. We drove to Turkey (for work) and spent a year in Turkey seeing very similar driving. In Ankara we used to go to a rooftop bar overlooking a major roundabout just to watch the traffic. There were policemen directing traffic as well as assorted traffic lights to try to control the roundabout. Drivers generally ignored all these and tried to beat the jams by going round the roundabout the wrong way, cutting corners by driving over the pavement, driving on the wrong side of the road etc.

Elsewhere we saw a car up a tree and another under a bus
Traffic lights - if on red and nothing is coming then proceed. If on green put your foot down. If icy and you can't stop put your hand on the horn and skid across, pointing forwards if possible.
There was order on one particular road - a steep bendy main road into the CBD. In the ice the cars queued at the top and went down one at a time to hone their skid-pan techniques.

Not sure if they now have an equivalent of the MOT, but when I was last there they certainly didn't, cars had totally bald tyres, no brake shoes or discs, as shown by one car coming to a halt juddering as the studs bit into the wheels, and then leaping into the air as they totally locked up, cars stopping in the middle carriageway of the road having broken down, then a few missed them then the next one speeding straight into the back. Roads being resurfaced, no ramp where the new surface started, just a 4" step, vvery interesting to watch what happened there, they either became airborne, came to a halt and were run into from the back and even a wheel would come off.. This was all in Moscow.
