Everybody can be Samy Naceri

Maybe the title of the post sucks, but I don't care (just to remind, Samy Naceri is the hero of the four movies Taxi).
I wanted to present you a Russian practice : if you want a taxi, just rise your hand and in five minutes someone will stop. Then, you have to negotiate the price : 100 or 200 RUB (3 or 6 euros), it depends on where you wanna go.
Yes, that's true anyone can be a taxi driver and that's really convenient when it's 6 o'clock in the morning. Most of the time, they drive you in a Lada (with no belts):
It is the typical Russian car : not very secure and maybe very polluting, however in St. Petersburg half of the cars are Ladas.
