Two drivers clashed on the way to work Monday morning on the outskirts of Moscow, and they hadn't even crashed into each other.
In footage caught on the dashboard camera of a nearby driver, the driver of a white Renault flares up after he is temporarily blocked from turning into a lane of barely moving traffic by a gray Lada alongside him.
When the Lada driver honks his horn a number of times, the enraged Renault driver gets out, opens his neighbor's door and starts throwing punches and kicks.
The put-upon Lada driver tries to respond with a few well-aimed blows but to no avail. The Renault driver clearly gets the upper hand, and he is able to return to his car and calmly drive away.
All this time, the traffic had barely moved.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
