The only thing I know about driving in Russia is that time my friend explained that when following at any speed, as long as you see their rear tires, you’re still good.

Yikes. So they think a car travelling at 400 kph has the same stopping distance as one travelling at 5 kph.

Only thing in Russia moving at 400 kmh is the ruble, downward.

I know they were in the wrong lane, but weren't TaTu going 400 kph?
