Watch: Bus driver rams bad drivers

Alexei Volkov is the bus driver from Russia who admits to have accumulated over 100 traffic accidents with other drivers who cut him off

HIS name is Alexei Volkov. He is a bus driver from Zelenograd. And he's as mad as hell, especially with drivers who cut him off on the roads.

So, he's taken the law into his own hands. And, as a result, he's become a folk hero in Russia.

He is known as "the Punisher" after the ruthless comic vigilante who dispenses brutal justice.

Volkov has been in more than 100 traffic accidents, though "accidents" may be a misnomer.

He's caused most of them with his in your face - or in your rear-end - driving style.

If someone cuts him off, Volkov just smashes into them.

To ram home his point, he then posts the dashcam video of his exploits online.

His YouTube channel has had hundreds of thousands of hits - and we mean hits.

In an inteview, Volkov boasted that the courts have taken his side in any case that's gone that far.

Most people seem to sympathise with him.

As he told one Russian news site: "Take my latest accident. What could I do? Swerve to the left in the oncoming traffic or suddenly brake and maybe injure the passengers?

"In both cases my licence would be revoked and I’d have some serious problems. While the happy bastard would just leave the scene.

"I am not interested in such outcome. The cops just grin. As for the colleagues – I haven’t asked what they thought."

He started recording the smashes in 2007 to defend himself from insurance scam drivers, who sharply cut in and brake in front of other vehicles to cause a smash and then make fraudulent claims.

The Youtube videos show Trabants, Ladas, a van and even an expensive 4x4 fall foul of The Punisher's wrath after swerving in front of him. The footage also shows incredulous drivers getting out of their cars to confront him after the shunts.
