Shocking video: two pedestrians play Russian roulette with their own lives in Hungary

A recent video by Budapesti Autósok (Budapest Motorists) shows two pedestrians play Russian roulette with their lives in Budapest. The two pedestrians were not together: the two shocking situations happened in two different parts of the Hungarian capital.

Pedestrians play Russian roulette on the roads?

Budapesti Autósok (Budapest Motorists) have published a video of two pedestrians playing with their lives on YouTube. The first incident happened on Tuesday 18 July at Ferenciek Square.

Traffic was stopped because of a traffic light. When the light turned green, the queue started. Then, a pedestrian ran across the six-lane road. He was lucky up to the half-way line, but then he didn’t look right and ran into a white car coming the right way, causing him to fall, rtl.hu explains.

“You can’t see it in the video, but then he stood up straight away, although he was quite confused,” the video’s submitter wrote.

Uses pedestrian crossing at the wrong time, gets surprised

The second situation occurred in Csepel, on the four-lane Weiss Manfréd Road.

There, a pedestrian who was on his phone tried to cross the pedestrian crossing despite the no-crossing sign. He was apparently quite frightened when the car with the green light avoided hitting him by applying emergency braking.
