Belarusian Grandma Feeling Invincible, Doesn't Even Flinch

We've scolded drivers for not giving way to pedestrians in the past, though, foot-travelers should also keep a visual lookout for oncoming vehicles, especially under harsh weather conditions.

We can't say for sure who's at fault here since the covered up grandma (according to the poster) from Minsk seems to have a green light, but so do the cars coming from the other side of the road.

This Guy Doesn't Fool Around with Drivers Who Ignore Pedestrians

Some…or rather scratch that…a lot of drivers from Russia and the other former countries of the Soviet Union have been caught on film by dashboard cameras completely disregarding pedestrians on the road.

Filmed on November 5, 2012 (the YouTube poster says the date on the video is wrong) in the city of Tashkent, which is the capital of Uzbekistan, we see a group of cars slowing down at a pedestrian crossing to let a man walk through.

The Force Must be Strong with this One to Make Russian Drivers Stop at a Crosswalk…

As it turns out, there is only one person in the universe who has a force strong enough within him to make Russian drivers (cough, cough) on both sides of the road (!!!) stop at a pedestrian crossing.

And yes, you guessed it; we are talking about Darth Vader, the evil, black-clad wizard of the Star Wars galaxy who was captured on camera in full suit walking across a road in the Russian city of Belgorod.

Chuck Norris Approved: How to Survive as a Pedestrian on Russian Roads

It's a very well documented fact (through thousands of hours of footage obtained from dashboard-mounted cameras) that a large proportion of Russian drivers don't pay attention nor do they yield to pedestrians when they seem them crossing the road.

From the first few seconds of this video it becomes instantly clear that the driver is going way too fast for a heavily trafficked and fairly populated area, and that an accident is imminent.
