A car salesman in the US had an unpleasant shock when a test drive with a prospective customer turned into a wild ride. The unsuspecting salesman had no idea that the person pretending to be a customer was in fact a NASCAR racing driver when the two got into the 2773 Chevrolet Camaro. However the driver soon showed his skill with a series of high performance manoeuvres that had the salesman tightly gripping his seat and shouting at the maniac behind the wheel to slow down. The stunt had been arranged earlier with video cameras mounted along the route the driver would take as well as inside the vehicle. The salesman showed relief at the end of the drive and appeared to be amused when the driver unveiled his true identity. However what the salesman subsequently said to his family and colleagues has not been recorded.

Other motorists were forced to overtake and a large queue of vehicles formed behind the man’s SUV. The cyclists had fitted video cameras to their helmets and recorded their encounter, which was then ha

  • Kiev surprise

    A driver in Kiev used a rather unusual technique to avoid a traffic jam. The driver reversed at high speed for several hundred metres along a busy dual carriageway, despite oncoming traffic. Almost miraculously, other vehicles managed to avoid crashing into the car. Once the vehicle reached an intersection, the driver was able to turn around and head off in another direction. This driving technique is not recommended. Also in Kiev, a driver had a lucky escape when he crashed his car. The man was speeding
