The outside of the corner is indeed a dangerous place to be - but it shows you how solid trees are - it didn't even move a bit when the car hit it. As for the aquaplaning skating rink.......

Sorry Paddy, call me boring, but I don't see anything to laugh at in this at all. It's not funny if it causes another driver to swerve into the path of a truck and get mangled, is it. Antics like this cause innocent people to get killed, while the idiots that cause the mayhem disappear.
Stunts like this are fine if they're performed by stunt drivers and confined to the movies, not on public roads. I think both drivers should be locked up.

Don't get me wrong, I thought it was funny because it seems so unreal. Also the title "Driving like a video game" seems right in place there. And I agree, these drivers should have been caught (even though the police probably would have chickened out, far too dangerous to start a chase with this type if driving). It surprised me they didn't crash  |

I can attest that Smokie is a good driver he drove me around Florida last year and we never made full contact with another vehicle only a few near misses  The damage to the rental car happened overnight in the hotel carpark,so he told me  |

I'm surprised Paddy even claims to remember my driving, considering the state he was in! At least gab and Phil know how to show some gratitude... Yep, I'm a fully signed up member of the Cloth Cap Brigade now. Any "incidents" I may have in the future will not therefore be my fault |
