Eyes on Iran - Crossing the streets in Tehran -

[underdogg20]

These people must absolutely kill at frogger.

[TheLavish99]

Dang, I would not be that impulsive to cross the streets like that. Anyways, it looks like an interesting place filled with history.

[rapnema]

بی پدرا برید باباتونو مسخره کنید از شما که بهتریم که با اسلحه تو خیابونا میچرخین بدبختای معتاد

[spiralgnome]

[saltydog45]

[pessanhha]

VERY GOOD ALSO WATCH THE VIDEO CELSO RANGEL, LAST DAYS THIS VIDEO WAS MADE TO WATCH EVERY DAY AS IF IT WERE THE LAST DAY OF OUR LIFE ......... FAVORITE COMMENT, JOIN!

[sherhak]

this isn't so different from new york city. you should try crossing in calcutta. it took me 30 attempts to cross one street.

[Boldenberg]

these crossing need traffic lights

[Yeppr]

The mow each other over and do not care..just the culture

[Maigiry]

@Yeppr And this statement was made by a pinkskinned asshole. Classic

[lalo6437]

I really don't know why most people are freaking out. That's the exact kind of traffic that we've got in here and I bet it's the same in most parts of the world. Only you "first world" pussies don't know how it is really

[AtsoftcoT]

Abs is a must have

[JerkFaceIdiot]

They have lanes, what is so hard in just driving within those lanes and make the traffic a bit safer?

[gregrutz]

Just stupid .

[trnsaddict]

OMG so normal for them, crazy

[mjavadi84]

im living in england , is the same thing in england too

[TsytaNZ]

lol at taking a taxi to cross the street

[pary16]

lool you get used to it after a while

-persian

[Mspape1234]

I am Iranian and in Iran there is no rule how i can follow the rules in Iran when I can't see any rules You are not in Iran even you don't know us 'BE FREE MY COUNTRY,MY IRAN,I LOVE YOU' But as an Iranian person I respect to your comments I love all of the people in the world too

[TheTheRay]

Hardcore mode: "ON"

[START]*its a button!*

[draculael1]

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooool nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooo lol lol

[amir105]

loooool kheyli bahaleee man iran rafte budam 3 saat gir karde budam unvare khiabon koskholan ina

[mdehee]

This is by far the best video on Iran. It shows how the Iranian government (backed by the shadow government) strives to brain wash kids/people to kill others, and ....., BUT not take the time and money to educate people on driving. Show them a few pics or videos as to what happens when you drive like that (POSITIVE BRAIN WASH). See a few bloody pics, and how your life as a driver will be ruined once you hit another human being (financially, emotionally, prison) & one stops driving like that.

[zomgbbqwth]

i love jews + israelis + palestinians + every other unlucky race on earth~ all the bad things were done by their higher-ups~ i dont blame the kids of now even though they are taught badly by their parents to hate other races~ i'm fine with anyone who doesnt step on my leg~ or i will squeeze my .50mag DE into your head~

[VerticalhorizonXL]

Fucking Paykaan cars everywhere, thanks to the fucking Islamic Republic. I see old clunky Iranian and Soviet cars everywhere.

[eeranyA39]

what soviet cars? i lived in iran for all of my childhood...no soviet cars whatsoever. but there are alot of peykans.

[alvin495]

@VerticalhorizonXL

yaaa, only the police drive nice cars in iran.... a fucking mercedes!

[poetologie84]

lol

[liveleakisbetter]

this footage is actually less crazy then what you constantly see while walking around Iranian cities

[Artemise36]

It must come in guinness book.

Crossing the streets is suicidal over there.

I think because of traffic they have lost their patience.

[fb1985us]

persians got balls man!!!

[sachinyahoo]

Surely way better than India.You should come and see Mumbai.Here it is horrendous.

[DVDUnique]

LOL. I am sure it is bad over there too :)

[mrkv39]

The country has a lot of potential: educated and industrious people and a lot of natural resources. Unfortunately, the leadership is more keen on picking a fight with the West than giving jobs to college graduates and opening normal trading relations so economy can prosper.

[DoubleDoubleEveryday]

Fuck they're stupid people. So impatient they can't even slow down to let pedestrians cross. What did I expect though?

[djBOZZmix]

ye but we can drive ^^ we are not liek the west we are good drivers ^^

[Apurlec]

Hello. I wonder wether are there traffic lights. The video is not showing any traffic light where it is needed. Why people is trying to cross at unmarked places?

[eeranyA39]

there are traffic lights, but no one gives a shit. its a vice of iranians, we don't give a shit while driving or as pedestrians, we never do what we're supposed...to fully understand, i recommend u read "The Ayatollah Begs to Differ" by Hooman Majd.

[persziiapriinszess]

hahahaa bahaleee every summer i have an accident with those stupid taxis HAHA craaazyy

[classicczech]

Wow, the cars just do not stop, even if you are walking in front of one. And people just are used to it it seems.

[torontostarboy]

miss those streets sooooooo much !!!

[bahadoryu]

Don't worry guys....I crossed this streets more than 500 times and I'm not dead......REMEMBER....it's only dangerous in the night...not in the daylight.

My aunt died by crossing the street in the night.

When my little sister was 3...she run out into the street and she was very small.....my mother screamd "STOP!!!!" so loud that all the cars stopped.....it was like a miracle.

[santodomingo06]

the suicide is there in 52 sec .baghdad of iran

[armadello]

the bravest men the the world lol..i don't know how they can cross the street this way..i mean it's like suiciding LOOL

[persiansoldier1]

when i went to iran i was afraid at first from croosing the streets but then i even walked in highways :p

[Abduhi]

My family is from Southern Azerbaijan -- Which the Iranians took over... Cause the Russians abondonde us because the Soviet Union collapsed. So i guess i'm considered Iranian now?

[MintyDonut]

Your Azeri. You woudn't have been Russian if you were in the soviet union, the soviet union is made up of many countries-not just Russia.

[Abduhi]

Well my family don't look like Iranians, or Azeris. My dads family is almost white as can be, and my mothers side is white, blondish hair - green/blue/hazel eyes.

So what would I be? I'm thinking my family i from somewhere else but moved to that area, because my family looks completly Nordic, and not middle-eastern at all.

[MintyDonut]

That could pass as Persian or Azeri, as we are also caucasian. Many Iranians have light skin, hair, eyes, etc. Not everyone in the middle east looks the same. Arabs and Persians are middle-eastern but look very different.

[wow3310inline]

took over? hahah

u should be proud to call ur self iranian

but feel free to call ur self azeri .

[xSilverPointFilmsx]

lol frogger

[syetamir]

well i have not been almost all my life in my nice country IRAN 35 years now,.i could have hard time cross the steert like that, was in russia (ST:pertersburg Moscow and Kazan) it is the same nobody give a shit; finally i got help to cross The street here and there my wife was just laughing well i didnt wanna play hero ! GOD bless u all which cross the steert in Tehran and even other cities everywhere in the whole world!!

[alexmichaeladventure]

haha i would love to cross the street like that! dodge traffic :D tehran is cool!

[Mafiadaughter]

At first I was so scared crossing the streets but I soon learnt, if you dont go into the streets, you are never gonna pass.

[avillanuv]

although i love iran....this is stalkerish

[amir4barca]

For God's sake there's something called crosswalk over there!respect it! :))

I miss crossing the street like that,like hell!

and driving!!!It's like an adventure n i was really good at that type of driving:D

[farazag10]

hahaha these things are all normal in entire iran!

[KrankyFinn]

Reminds me of FROGGER!!! LOL.... but with humans...

[deiselaewireless]

thats how it is in Iran, nothing wrong with it

[arman2587]

iranian people don't respect the laws and don't respect each other ,,, and don't respect the regime,, they always fight with each other in many fields

[Mahdavi1990]

WTF?

[sohbat19]

what is the fucking point of the pedestrian crossing???? i think it means nothing to them. stupid cunts!!!!

[pizpiza009]

iran is best contry but whitout mullas thx for this video

[mamolb]

it's the same in many countries :) in many utube vids Iran looks deferent than what we c in the media (tv)

it's a beautiful country

[Darusdei]

what do u expect when u have US ranting about some nuclear weapon (AGAIN)

the whole thing is ridiculous

and they always fail to report the both sides ot the story... (like Israel / Palestine)

[schwarzeidechse]

in italy is the same!!!

[amir4barca]

specially southern part

[DuFF021]

hahahahahaha

[sarahy8]

now thats the way 2 cross a street

it makes more sense than those crossing signs that take 4everrr...

[jimminsc]

soon the streets will be full of craters from our 2000 pounders

[RebornAc3]

people shoudnt walk on high ways like their back yards.

[kevinatucla]

we should nuke mexico..it's a win win win situation...we get free oil and solve illegal immigration...mexico is a bigger treat than Iran. Illegal immigrants have ruined our economy. it's worst than Atomic bomb, so in clonclusion go to mexico.

[afgnbliss01]

wow its like going with the flow..

[centralpa16801]

maybe they should work on traffic lights rather than building nukes.

[Chrissyusca]

OMG how terrible. I always slow down or stop for pedestrians.

[hachhachu]

yeah This is Iran.there is no any lights for crossing streets

[Ammd1986]

ohohoh Crazy

[ebllis]

haha scary streets lol

[mortezzzz]

i went there n i was w8ing 4 a car 2 stop 4 30 mins n it was a long boring time n then this lady came n she held my hand to the other side of the rode!!

[antarkip]

So you were "w8ing" "2" stop "4" "30" "mins" "n" it was a lonong boring tim "n" dis l8di c8me n tule ur hndz to de oder sy8d da "rode"...??? U iz not a catz iz u???

[arianhemmati]

lol..i think u were a kid... haha

[mxangelly]

hahah just like mexico!

no respect for pedestrians

[DM559]

Ever been to Las Vegas? Pedestrians are treated the same way!

[farszad22]

There is no sense on it. No lights and no real place to cross the road. everything semms to be possible.

[jdred1]

wow definitely busy!

[jdred1]

great video! thanks.

[manitogata]

I would be very nervous trying to cross the road!!

[austpers]

Yes, but one secret: DO NOT FALTER, or you will lose!

[hezakkkk01]

LOL, man this is so funny and yet so sad ... u know how many people die from car accident in tehran alone per day? MORE TAHN PEOPLE BLOW UP IN IRAQ!!!!! NOW THATS SAAAAAAAAD!!!

[AdvenWonder01]

Where are the stop lights? I know this is a strange question but in Tehran, is it common for people to flip off others when they are crossing the street?

[BzzNzz]

Will always love home! IRAN <3

btw yes its tru i think it was like 16 000 people who died each year. (this test is around 4 years old) so its atleast 20k per year! Fuuuckt up, but its still home :D

[sohailkhanpakistani]

back home rocks

[mhkazemi3]

lol

[mhkazemi3]

lol

[azerogli]

wow, what an eye!

what a civilized capital city with high levels of Driving Standards.

OMG, no one and absolutely no one has understood the actual meaning of zebra-crossing.

The value of human life in these streets equals nil, none, zero, zip, zilch, diddly-squat. SHAME

[kianoshaskani]

Shall I laugh or cry?

[mizpersia]

omg how come the cars don't drive between the lines ?

[syedjaafar]

haha

[Newmann76]

Wow that is crazy!

[Maryamau]

hahaha, behtare az khate aber piyade estefade nakonid :D

[tabs2468]

check my vid of 'Tehran Traffic' ;)

[fabregatoribio]

south korea is just has bad.

[blubbi1888]

omg

[ghorbati]

It is crazy. I have seen quite a few pedestrian accidents in Tehran. Driving in Iran is really pathetic. They think they are skilled but they forget that the laws of physics and statistics. Poor those who die in these circumstances. Each year more than 20000 people die of accidents in Iran...More than the number of people died each year in the 8-year war with Iraq!!!!

[DVDUnique]

I don't think the math is right: "Each year more than 20000 people die of accidents in Iran..".More than the number of people died each year in the 8-year war with Iraq"

That would be 8x20000=160,000 and I believe over one million died in the war, the more conservative estimates put Iranian casualites at well over 300,000

[ghorbati]

The number of Iranians killed in Iran-Iraq war is far below a million, official figures are around 200000-300000.

People just do not think how high those numbers are and use them so loosely...

[ghorbati]

Even if a million is a correct number, even one tenth of those numbers for road accidents is crazy... That was a war and this is driving...How crazy...I hate the way we drive...When we do not value our own lives how on Earth we expect others to care about our lives???

[nickelbackak10]

20000 in each year... dude ur lying

[Bornisen]

its true.. :p

[apu5187]

its the real life froger

[Newmann76]

I agee!

[Staatssicherheit]

No one knows how many people lives in Teheran :P.

On wikipedia in English it sais 7 million. In norwegian it sais 21 million..

The video say 14.

Didnt know it was one of the biggest cities in the world though O.o

[1001shab]

17 million

[Staatssicherheit]

ooook. Now i dont trust anyone :P

[DST911]

i remeber when i had to cross a street like that in tehran its was so scary i almost pissed myself when a paykan passed me just a few centermeters in front of me

[justinaurelius]

A few traffic signals might help.

[amooballer]

there are traffic signals but mostly they are ignored. :D

[samtron77v]

HAHAHAH LLOL EYVAL kheily khandidar bood! iranians are crazy drivers haha just ask my friends...

[cwegers]

[drdivooneh]

Farsi binivis man turki balad nistam !!!! heheheheh

[72Larsson]

In Sweden we have a Law that says that you have to stop for the people who is crossing the withe strippes on the ground! this is insane! And very Dangerus!

[persiiano]
