Also, why are there so many drivers in Russia with dashcams? There are hundreds of these videos.

I remember seeing this article from Wired a year or two ago.  I'm glad I found it:  http://www.wired.com/autopia/2013/02/russian-dash-cams/

 

 

Quick excerpt: 

 

How is it possible that a dozen different motorists around the Russian city of Chelyabinsk were able to capture video of a massive meteor flying through the sky? Because almost everyone in Russia has a dash-mounted video camera in their car.

The sheer size of the country, combined with lax — and often corrupt — law enforcement, and a legal system that rarely favors first-hand accounts of traffic collisions has made dash cams all but a requirement for motorists.

“You can get into your car without your pants on, but never get into a car without a dash cam,†Aleksei Dozorov, a motorists’ rights activist in Russia told Radio Free Europe last year.
