    Can't understand what this has to do with being a good driver?
    He is good at turning a bus in a tight bridge.
    Doesn't mean he is an exceptional driver on the road and in traffic.

    He knows very well where his wheels are, thats it.

    Looks to me like the edge of the bridge had a raised lip. So he was able to FEEL the tyres reach the edge .... really any of us coudl have done it

    Bah, he didn't even make it in the time limit!

    Did this really deserve a thread all of its own Drakkie?

    To pass my articulated-truck driving test (at age 18) I was required to reverse-park, at first attempt ..

    a conventional-cab Dodge truck (no power steer) with 28ft trailer
    from a two-lane road going through a suburban shopping centre
    which was reasonably busy at the time including parked cars etc
    into a brick-walled laneway perpendicular to the roadway
    that had less than 4ft of spare room each side
    without ever shifting from reverse gear
    and back it in the length of the truck

    Did he finish? I was watching it but got distracted by paint drying on the wall. <(yaaawwwn)>

    Why would any sane person want to make a 180 deg. turn on such a narrow road w/o a guardrail?
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
