Depends on the society. My impression is that Russia has a stronger sense of collective identity, especially when compared with anglosphere countries. In that case, taking responsibility for the wellbeing of the community is a rather noble act.
Blatant traffic violations, if left unchecked, lead to a contempt for the law which will lead to far more serious crimes, to say nothing of distrust and enmity between erstwhile community members.
