We don’t know if the idea behind this amusing Russian TV ad for the Subaru XV is original or not, or if it’s even an actual official Subaru video (for what it’s worth, Subaru Russia did promote it on its social media pages). Russians use dash-mounted cameras to help themselves steer clear of insurance scammers, so as to always have video proof of their innocence.
However, this does not really deter these con artists (or just plain crooks) from still throwing themselves at oncoming cars, on poorly lit crosswalks, then demanding money to not call the cops.
The video below swaps the usual person for a canine, but it’s by no means a well-intended pooch; quite the contrary, actually – this could have been the ultra-realistic re-release of Wacky Races, if they’d made it longer and also included the Boulder brothers for good measure…
