    Default Insane driver!!!!

    I just got a video by e-mail that absolutely had me thinking that the driver is absolutely insane!!! He's driving a loaded 'lux, towing a boat across a "bridge" that I'd feel uncomfortable walking across. It crosses a substantial river and runs for several spans. The photo on the home page gives you an idea of the strength of the bridge, and that was only the start, from there, it gets worse. Watching it dip as he drives onto it had me waiting for something to break!

    If anyone wants to watch the video they can log into Faceache meantime, the photo on the Faceache page gives you some clues as to the Insanity The question being, would you be stupid enough to attempt it?
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    Like to see it but no faceache for me.......pity, but only on that score.
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    I don't have Faceache either, but the link worked for me to watch it.

    Insane is a huge understatement!!!

    The link was in the OP but easy to miss because it was just a blue "here" at the end of a sentence. Here it is for your convenience:



    By the way @Isemmens. Awesome video. I was waiting for the car to take a bath. Wonder where it was filmed. I'm going to download a copy to keep!

    judging by the number plate i would say that is in rural Thailand or Cambodia. Thailand is rapidly growing gangbusters so i would lean towards Cambodia. There was a similar video doing the rounds of a truck on a similar bridge , but that bridge had concrete pillars and thicker cables

    The video says it's 'in Afrika'

    Couldn't pay me enough to drive that.

    That link wouldn't work for me last night only showing a static picture, I'm glad you got to see it. I understand that it is in Africa somewhere but I ain't gonna go looking to cross that bridge any time soon! At least he had the boat and the kayaks, if he went in, he could paddle out. Tat is, if the Snapping Handbags didn't get him first!
