ROSALIE asks: DOES THE TRAFFIC DRIVE LIKE THE USA?
Expert's answer:
In general, the traffic rules in the US and Russia are not much different. If you are an experienced driver, then you should not have any difficulties. Also it should be noted that the roads in Russia are on average much worse than in the US, which makes them less safe, drivers in Russia are also less disciplined.

henk asks: How safe is it to drive by a foreign car in Russia?
Expert's answer:
In general, I can say that it is a trip for an experienced traveler, preferably with knowledge of the Russian language because the roads in Russia are quite dangerous. Most of them are narrow and of low quality, a lot of drivers don't follow traffic rules, the level of aggression on the roads is high.
