Truck Drives Backwards At 70 MPH

I get the feeling that this truck driver (video below) has watched Pixar's Cars film too much and thought he'd try Mater's backwards driving trick for himself. Of course Mater isn't a huge transport truck nor is he even real.

Make sure you listen to the woman taking the video saying that they're doing 70 MPH and the truck was pulling away from them... backwards! 70 MPH is around 112 KPH, imagine that truck jackknifing in front of you!

The only reason I can think of someone risking so much to pull off this stunt is to keep their tacho down, but seriously, is it worth killing yourself (and maybe a bunch of other people) over?

Max Headroom: Read the Damn Signs!

This video goes right to the top of the "holy crap" pile. Autoblog tells me the father and his ten year old son were unharmed after the roof of this drive-through bank collapses after being knocked over by the dude's caravan/trailer.

That's what you get for being a lazy bugger and not pulling over to use an ATM.
