My observations...
-The rider is splitting lanes. I don't know if that's legal in Russia, but at least he's using his flash to pass button. You wonder why he was even splitting lanes when it looks like the rightmost lane is empty.
-The driver fails to signal their lane change. And despite the driver's window being cracked and the motorcyclist flashing his high-beams, they don't have a clue he's there.
-The guard rail is designed to kill riders and protect cars. It did its job.

Takeaways...
-It seems like everyone in Russia has cameras mounted in their cars. It's awesome and I hope it happens in the US.
-This video illustrates the dangers of being side-swiped. Even if you're not splitting lanes, it should make you think about the space around your bike on a highway.
-Guard rails are scary, and they're everywhere.
