That seemed to be rather peaceful outcome for a disagreement between motorists in the Caucuses.
Back during the 1980ies while in Miami, I made it a point to disconnect the wires to the horn of one of my visiting in-laws. He had no idea that there were motorists, mainly coca cowboys, that needed not much of an excuse to show off their firepower.
Interesting how no one flinches at the sound of gunfire. Just a glimpse of a real firearm, and a large percentage of Americans would need a defibrillator.
ETA: Using an AK-47 as a substitute for a horn is also common in Albania.
I like the bronco-looking blue SUV that got pushed back. I thought somebody was going to get shot, I wonder what prevented that?
I doubt it was law enforcement or the law, everybody probably just saw a big nicely dressed mafioso and said “Oh hell no” and backed off. Mafia operations are more about threats and extortions than it is about killing people.

I wonder how long it’ll be before we start settling our road rage altercations this way in the “good old USA?”
Given the massive drop in the crime rate since the 1990s, I’d say never.

everyone is armed but no-one is willing to go to jail for a roadside altercation
smart people
Nothing a little Redflex can’t fix!
(yeah right!)
Dang, that was a pretty cherry Lada Niva too!
Seriously though, if I was in Russia I’d probably avoid confrontations with large, expensive SUVs, especially the black ones.
Wow, its surprising that nobody got seriously hurt given that they used guns in lieu of a horn.
