Here is an interesting article on Russian dash cams - http://jalopnik.com/5918159/why-russians-are-obsessed-with-dash+cams
It's to discourage the prevalent road rage, extortion, insurance fraud, drunk cops, etc. In the video they link there is a moment where you see someone lying on the ground in front of the car. The driver gets out, hits and kicks him before throwing him on the side of the road. The driver looks like a real bastard until you learn that a common scam is to pretend you just got run over and have some "witnesses" and maybe a complicit cop to back you up. It won't work if the dash cam showed you lie down first.

Funny, I had the same thought that it was faked at first since it was too coincidental with the Asteroid passing by combined with the calmness. But those are all built in cameras that are always recording, the folks driving may not even have been looking in that direction.
