Today’s trip to the offices of Sokol started off with a crunch when the minivan we were riding in was hit by a small car at this intersection.
Thankfully the damage to both vehicles was small and we were on our way shortly after the insurance man arrived.
In Russia, if it is a minor accident, an insurance official arrives to take photos and information and then provides the information to the police, together with his opinion.
The police then determine which driver is a fault, who will get a ticket and whose insurance company must pay.
Given how bad traffic is, in both Moscow and Nizhny, I am guessing insurance companies are kept very, very busy!
