He punches the driver in the face for not yielding to him. At the 30-second mark.

The car is assigned to the Administrative Directorate of the President of the Russian Federation, specifically to Alexander Vasilyevich Gladyshev, head of the Main Operations Directorate (which raises a separate question: why the hell does he need a flashing beacon? Does he personally drive around fixing leaking roofs?). There are two possibilities: the flashing lights were on, which means Gladyshev was in the car. That means he ordered his driver to engage in this hooliganism. It is unlikely the driver would have stopped in the left lane and run off to start a confrontation without instructions—direct or indirect—from the boss sitting inside the car. if Gladyshev was not in the car, then his driver is tearing around with the flashing lights for his own amusement and picking fights whenever people do not let him through. This little car has exactly the reputation you would expect: maseich: I want to tell you about A068MR97 (BMW 5 Series). I have never met such an asshole in my life! This guy probably takes the beacon and siren unit off his car, carries them home, and switches them on before bed, falling asleep to the wail of the siren and the flash of the beacon, because I have NEVER ONCE seen this car with its special signals turned off. He drives like the absolute lowest scum! Shoving everyone aside and honking his quacker siren like crazy! I see him very often; apparently his boss lives not far from Zelenograd (a district of Moscow). About two years ago, I was driving at 3:30 in the morning, and he overtook me in the oncoming lane with the beacon and siren on. There was no one on the road. I know the parking lot where he keeps the car, and the guards there say he even drives into the parking lot with the beacon still on. But this time, beacon-boy Gladyshev and his driver have landed in a bit of trouble: they will not get away with a purely formal review here. We are also ready to provide legal assistance to the victim if necessary. Details of the incident here. Update: in the video from the front camera. You can see the car's license plate and the driver-soldier:
