I'd say that it's about 4 1/2 minutes too long.

StopHam (Russian: СтопХам, which translates as Stop a douchebag or "stop a lout&quot is a Russian non-profit organization, headquartered in Moscow and founded in 2010 by members of the youth movement Nashi, which opposes traffic rules violations and arrogance on the road. The leader of the organization is Dmitriy Chugunov. The mode of operation of the activists of the movement is to film offenses and their conversations and confrontations with offenders and consequently edit and upload the gathered footage to video-sharing websites such as YouTube.[1] One of the popular strategies is to place big stickers with the phrase "I don't care for anyone, I park where I want" (Russian: Мне плевать на всех, паркуюсь где хочу on car windshields of non-cooperative traffic offenders. A number of accidents involving activists of the movement have garnered significant public attention.[2][3][4][5] The group's original YouTube channel has been blocked by YouTube for unknown reasons. The new official Youtube-channel of the organization: https://www.youtube.com/user/stopxamlive

And they put 50cm diameter stickers on the windscreens and side windows to advance their cause of forcing the drivers to back up and get off the sidewalks.

Seems to work.
