Extreme Measure Scaring Russians From Illegally Parking

Russia has a major problem and it’s not a dash-cam shortage. The problem: able-bodied lazies are taking every handicapped spot they see because the only rule in Russia is there aren’t any rules.

Via the YouTube video above’s description:

More than 30% of the drivers in Russia take disabled parking spaces without caring about the signs on the ground. Dislife, a Russian non-profit organisation, came up with a powerful campaign to stop this inconsiderate behaviour. They installed projections of a real disabled person that popped up every time a non-disabled driver tried to park in their space. Special cameras verified the presence of the disabled sticker on their windshields and if no sticker was detected, the hologram would appear to confront the driver.

Apparently the epidemic of me-monster’s disregarding Russian traffic laws is so bad that a group who calls themselves the “Stop A Douchebag” movement has sprung up to fight back against people doing things like DRIVING ON SIDEWALKS WITH PEDESTRIANS ON THEM just to avoid waiting through a jam like everyone else.

These vigilantes of road justice film their excursions and post them on YouTube racking up almost 29 million views to date. An example of their handiwork below…

If you do decide to drive around over there in Darth Putin’s neck of the woods it’s probably best to take the advice of a Jedi and travel with a co-pilot…
