 Haha indeed...but i agree with Paul...those drivers are pretty well trained, they caught gaps in places i didn-t know was there (though im working from a camera view) and i would say their aveage speed was 80...the tC was burned though by the blue car, lol... i hope it was a mini cooper S, cuz from the first view it looked like a civic EG....i woud hate to lose to one of those...

 Wonder what salvage yard that silver tC is at, could get some good things off of it probly. Quick question, if the airbag in the stering wheele goes off in an 06 model will it still be useful it you threw it in your 05 and re-bag it? of course would have to get the 06 head unit for it to be of use but i bet you someone elses thought of it before me.

 That video was the shit! I watched it like 25 times in a row. I don-t see WTF the big deal is. I lived in Germany for 4 years (dad in Air Force) and saw shit like that all the time...

 Thats germany... I honestly believe people have more freakin- tolerance and driving skills than the many idiots here... For one, im not to scared for the Person driving the car, he obviously has some skills, and it shows when he-s swerving. Its the people that AREN-t racers/good drivers... what if at some sudden moment some old lady/man were to switch lanes without looking. the racer would more than likely rear-end them, no time to stop.... So although u think you can control your car well... i doubt you can control the other cars around you....the art of driving -defensivley-... you must assume that everyone car out there, CANNOT drive.

 wow... that guy has some talent or has a LOT of luck. Its a shame for using his talent/luck in such a stupid manner. Just when you think he runs out of room he finds a gap out of nowhere.

 I too live in Germany as a student and did see fast cars on the autobahn but nothing this unsafe. The drive does have skill but it is as TRD_tC spelled it out the other drivers that will pay for this act if something were to go wrong. Take it to the track and eliminate that potential hazard.Also a German License is recieved after the driver has turned 18, has recieved extensive class room and driver seat training, and fork out when I was there almost 2500 us dollars. Most germans took driving very seriously with safety always in mind even on the autobahn. And the Autobahn has speed limits on most parts the only free limits are during slow periods in between high populated areas. Cool thing is that the speed limit signs are electronic and change to adjust for traffic flow. Wish we could get that here.

 It wasn-t that impressive. The only stunt they pulled I wouldn-t be confident with was when he changed 3 lanes right to left and barely missed that truck at the end. but seriously.....where was the highway patrol? while we-re on the topic of wreckless driving........ one lonely night while driving home from jack in the box down sunland blvd. where it crosses the 210 freeway in sunland, ca i nearly died. now before i go any further you should all know that I am driving my -94 escort and that I was not -up to speed- on jack n- the box-s drink sizes....I ordered a large and there-s no way that suckers fitting in the cupholder, so i-m driving home one handed. This stretch of sunland blvd is 2 lanes in both directions but when you cross the 210 there-s an extra right hand lane leading to the onramp, placing me in the middle lane. There-s a dodge caravan on my right and a nissan frontier on my left, both about 100 yrds up and bothing doing about 25 mph. The speed limit is 45 so of course I-m doing 50 minimum. The 210 onramp is on the right side, but the truck on my left decides he wants to head west on the 210 anyway. He cuts me off doing half my speed and is about 50 feet in front of me. (my escort had no abs and the tires had a treadwear rating of 500.... i-m not slowing down in time)... so of course i jam on the brakes, i-m now in a 4 wheel skid heading toward this trucks bumper....if i go right i hit the van, left and i-ll slam into a center island. So with all 4 wheels locked i somehow managed to split the lane and get between the 2 cars without touching either. let-s just say as i passed the truck, my mirror traveled directly underneath the mirror of the frontier. ........i-m still holding my drink I-m not trying to brag, I had to pull over and remind myself to start breathing again afterwards. lol I also had to pick up my curly fries. So how about you guys? let-s turn this thread into the stupidest/most wreckless/closest call story thread.

 btw, that-s not a tC. Look at the side view mirror at the end. And the silver trim. Plus the a/c vents are in the shadows, you can-t really tell what they look like....

 I hope boffet5 you do not drive in this manor. This is a main reason insurance premiums are so high are people who drive like this, behind drunk driving of course. It was definately not a tC. The video was taken in europe most likely germany I believe because they use cameras vs patrol car more as do most european countries. I have had more than a few close calls with semi trucks pulling into my lane and me inbetween them and another car. Scariest one is was with my wife in the car. The semi drivers think they own the road. The video is a reminder of the real danger street racers put bystanders in. There have been a few times were I have been in a large truck and thought of pulling in front of punks like this to make them wreck but I control that urge.

 No I don-t drive like that. I-ve never done anything that wreckless or prolonged. Everyone weaves through traffic occasionally, but I don-t race other cars like that and I keep it reasonable. What people were saying about not being able to predict other cars is the real hazzard, for instance I won-t quickly enter a lane next to a car that is behind a truck, because 9 times out of 10 the person WILL change into that lane and not see you moving closer on their side... it-s not hard to spot the people that want to change lanes, and I don-t risk them doing it.

 Those two cars are not anything near a civic hatch or tC... The Camera car is a BMW M5 and the Blue hatch is an Audi RS6. This video is pretty old but it never gets boring... The drivers are amazingly skilled but that doesn-t cover up the fact that they are stupid for doing with so much traffic around.

 Haha good god people.First off, they-re driving on the right, which they also do in Germany. All of Europe (except the UK and Ireland) drives on the right. However, that is not Germany, it-s Moscow Russia.Second off, the Audi RS6 is a huge-ass sedan, not a hatch. That-s an Audi A3 variant, probably an S3, and probably modified at that. That is definitely not a civic hatch, hahaha gotta be kidding me, look at it take that sharp-ass weave at one point.Third off, I think the chase car is an M5.

LHD means left-hand-drive, as in the steering wheel is on the left hand side of the car. LHD cars are built in countries where you drive on the right, such as America.RHD cars are built for the UK, Ireland, Japan, Australia, and a few other places, where you drive on the left.Germany, however, uses LHD cars, as does all of continental Europe.
