I like how he just walked away. No job is worth risking your own life

That truck driver is stupid for having left his safety blanket in the truck. In conditions like that, the safety blanket would have prevented him from freezing to death in the Norwegian frost. Lucky for him, there was a bystander that could whisk him to a safe, warm place.

He wasn't so much lucky for getting out of the cab of the tow truck in time, as he was unlucky for selecting an incompetent driver to steer the towed truck. Guess that guy rode it down the hill. Hope he had his seatbelt on. Or maybe he was thrown clear halfway down, clutching his pillow and blanket.

in these conditions it is obvious that the tow truck driver anticipated such a turn of the events and was ready to jump out the truck - during the Leningrad siege in WWII, the russian drivers were taking the goods into the city via the Road of Life, across the frozen Ladoga lake - and the they lost a lot of trucks... the drivers drove with their doors open, so to escape from the sinking truck in time... not all of them were lucky, but that is a known technique...

I am surprised they used a soft "rope" and not a towbar - maybe it is allowed in Norway

I don't agree - there are plenty of russian BMW sites out there and most of them are very lethargic... and the ones that see any kind of traffic are very mean - you ask somebody a question, and get a runaround or plain out laughs, such, i had to figure it out on my on, you go and figure it out on your own, there are no freebies here...

very typical russian mentality, if I am not getting ahead, i am not going to let anyone else to get ahead of me... 70 years of Soviet style socilaism had gotten better of the nation...

it was a joke. we have a few russians on the fourm and we wanted to prikalovatsya. (joke around)

and hmmm, that sounds like Bimmerforums - The Ultimate BMW Forum - Powered by vBulletin

and just like any nation has its good people and bad people. looks like you figured out the dark secret of russians.

So terminator...what do you do for a living? American Spy in Russia?

i did not just figure out the dark secrets of the russians, I can also drink some of them under the table... lol... sprucing the posts with russian is cool, gives the other folks something to wonder about, as long as the things are kept kosher and nice... sometimes i am wondering when i see some tagalog, or portugese on this site... makes me try the google translate...

Spy??? c'mon, do you think russians will allow a spy into their country?... or, keep one within their borders for too long?

wait... they did kick me out... hmmm... i think i am so much deep undercover, that even i am not briefed on my purpose!!!!
