Talking This is why you don't mess with truckers.

A trucker had a tire problem and stopped to repair it on the side of the road. Some dudes in an old Lada pulled up and tried to "racketeer" some money out of him. He used the CB radio to call some fellow truckers for help. The rest is priceless.

looks like the problem was handled in the correct way.if that was done in the states the thugs would have a strong law suit.i love the way russians stick together.
