yeah thats how you beat it, in a 300kw twin turbo 4wd, with some pretty fine handling... being a passenger in one, i can tell you... not to shabby... better than any product from over here, although they spend a bit more engineering these beasts... better in yellow though... but i wouldnt say no...

Thats just asking for trouble in that traffic. All it would have taken is for one of them trucks to move into another lane and he would have been screwed.

All it's going to take is one person to panic seeing them in the rear view mirror and hit the anchors or someone changing lanes and not norticing these ****ers until they've plowed into them.

I'll have to keep this video for the next traffic naxi that bang on about hao Aussie drivers are crap and all traffic in Europe is organised.

Looks like the same disorganised rabble found the world over.

As for the future statistics having a play in the traffic.... enough said.

Yea that's what I thought, not a bad looking wagon either

That was a cool video, traffic weaving isn't just for motorcycles (although over there they have three times as many lanes as we do)...

Thats pretty cool, but as people have said it would be dangerous as hell, if he mis judged the speed of any of those trucks, bam !

None the less it is awesome, though if I was him, I wouldnt try my luck with that again.
