Trucks on the road Compilation July-August 2013

I don't get it. Watch at 3:48 where a truck full of hydrogen (extremely explosive) hits a car, pushes it for hundreds of feet, puts his hazard lights on (so he's obviously aware he hit the car) and continues on his way as soon as the car finally gets tossed to the side. I just don't understand Russian driving. Yikes!
