Something to consider, but the endless hours of Russian video where no accidents happen tend to not get posted to the internet. If everyone in the US had a dash-cam, I would contend that we are just as bad.
I've had one for a number of years now and it's gotten to the point where I won't drive a car without it. Twice now I've had the other driver cause the accident and try to blame it on me when the cop arrived. I let them go over the whole story of how I in one case swerved for absolutely no reason and in the other case how on a 70MPH(I was doing 80) road I slammed on the brakes apparently? Afterwards I just casually mention how, "Oh yeah, I actually have the whole thing on tape proving you wrong."
Nice thing too is I don't manage it all. Starts and stops when the car does, records 30 minute intervals holding a total of about two days worth and then loops deleting the oldest video, and it has a three hour battery so after an accident I can get out and record everything exactly as it was. Also if the accident was ever my fault (so far that's none), I don't have to reveal that I had it!
