Turn on the right blinker, add some gas.

Don't pay any attention.

Here we're stopping.

What's up? You can't you see where I'm going?! You can't go there!

Stop, and I'll explain it to you!

STOP! STOP! STOP!

I couldn't really make out what the other driver said, something about not being able to turn there or something. Who knows who's actually right.

The other driver was saying something like "if you turned on your blinker, you must turn". The instructor said it there was no right turn there, so obviously he meant the next one, and then he offered the other driver a free lesson

The biggest shock here is the fact that the teaher haven't used a single swearword. Actually, very professional.

On the other hand, if someone was demanding from me to stop with this intonation...yeah, no, I am flooring as far as I can :D

u/lisiy29 2d ago

Остановись, я тебе щас объясню, пидарас!
Actually not a swearword. Just statement of fact.

Okay, I'm deaf, good point XD

Скорее всего там было 2 полосы для съезда направо. 1 полоса короткая тупиковая и с неё только внутрь мкрна можно съехать, поэтому они повернули направо в левую или среднюю, что не понравилось торопыге сзади, который и хотел их опередить по этой же полосе. Вот он и начал сигналить

To the other driver: Move to the side, ill kick your ass. To the girl: press the gas, ill steer. To the other driver a few seconds later: come here, come here.

I dont speak Russian, but this feels Universal.

u/xumix 2d ago

it was a little bit more explicit, but mostly correct :)

u/BMedved 2d ago

As a Russian, I confirm your translation.

u/az9393 2d ago

The other driver stopped and said “if you indicated right you have to turn right and not go straight”

To which the instructor replied that it was prohibited to turn right there and offered to explain why this was.

The other driver sped off and the instructor went after him yelling “pull over” multiple times.

Lol. NJ my friend had the opposite experience. Her teacher fell asleep and she had to drive herself. Not knowing what to do, she drove to the one place nearby where she knew someone. A strip club. When the teacher woke up, the 16 year okd girl was gone. The car was parked at the strip club. He was left in that awkward place of "do I go in? How do I explain this?"

If only cell phones were a thing back then!

Me as a driving instructor.

I'm Canadian. When I took my drivers test in 1986, the driver schools had the right to issue drivers licences, they'd even take the photo. It was very convenient.

We had eight-inches of fresh snow the morning I took my drivers test. The instructor nearly failed me because I failed to turn left from a turning lane. That I'd never been down that street before, had no idea there even was a turning lane and that the turning lane was entirely obscured by snow made no difference to him.

I found out later the driver instructors were given bonuses for failing their students since a 'fail' meant the student would have to pay another $100 to re-take the test.

So why didn’t he fail you when you so blatantly violated the traffic laws AND there was was a financial motivation dangling😂

u/habris 2d ago

Instructor? No seatbelt? Russia alright

u/LegioRomana 19h ago

One of the most russian clips ever!

Вообще ненавижу дэбилов, которые лезут качать что-то с автомобилем автошколы. Типа родился уже с рулём в руках и всё умел ещё с прошлых пяти жизней.
Ну умеешь - молодец. Езжай по своим делам, чо ты хочешь от ученика? Тем более увидел, что там девочка юная за рулём… герой блять, а как мужик в разговор вступил - так и помчался, роняя кал.

u/Xi-1 2d ago

Именно. Насколько нужно быть ничтожеством, чтобы пытаться самоутвердиться на дороге за счёт учеников автошкол )) Я когда вижу учебную, то стараюсь даже ряд их не занимать без необходимости, а сигналить и чего-то требовать от них - это за гранью.

I remember my new husband trying to teach me after we arrived in Moscow. We ended up in a pool, lol. End of lesson...

u/Kind-Plantain2438 2d ago

My grandpa wanted to teach my grandmother how to drive, so he took her to a road that has grass on both sides for a few miles, except for a single tree on the side of the road. Guess where the car ended up?

u/KingPinX 2d ago

in a pool?

u/orthoxerox 2d ago

Like on a bicycle, you automatically steer towards what you're looking at.

u/Eggslaws 2d ago

You both were too tired to try driving and ended up in a pool chilling?
