    Loved the silver convertible cutting across several lanes of moving traffic to get onto the motorway they missed at 2:45.

    The question is: How many times can you get away with it before a real 'lights out' situation.

    It's like playing the lottery, but the prize is death. Keep playing and you'll eventually win.

    My brain is still hurting from watching that... Fox network certainly is something different.

    Any comments about the guy in front's convering skills?

    IMO - His lines were smooth alright, but his body positioning was all over the place.

    It looks like he just wanted to get his knee down for the sake of getting his knee down to say he'd done it.

    However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.

    Closing speed looks to be about 5-10 mph, which is a pretty minor punt really. The car would have to have been moving at about 120-125mph for this story to be true- it looks more like 60-70.

    Pathetic load of sensationalism and some really bad riding.

    DUde, those guys are xtreme!
    Who here can say they've ridden a wheelie before?

    Takers?

    Thought so.
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    Yeah I leaft the road at 120k and hit a culvert. Instant airborne! Stood up and walked (limped) away.

    Lucky? You fucking bet.

    Stupid? Damn straight.

    Any of my nine lives left? Nope. None. Nada. Zero. Zilch.

    That has put me in touring mode for quite a while I think. Yes, its russian roulette. Click, you live. Click, you live. Click, you live. BOOM, you die. It's a game you can never win.

    I had a heart stopping, pants filling moment when I was following a car and then suddenly the car in front of him locked up and smoke came pouring off etc. He weaved left into the shoulder and I was looking at this turkey thinking shit!!!! Gotta lane change and just missed him on his right side.

    Couldn't see any reason for this ass clown to have done that either. I think the car in front of me was tailgating or something. Tell ya all something for nothing it woke me up really well.

    The guys on the vid SEEM to realise that they might not be so lucky next time.

    Lucky for some of them that the barrier wasn't Armco or a cheese-cutter eh? - Darwin would have been a winner otherwise.
