Lunatic for doing it on a public road, but some good control, as he stayed central to the inner lane almost all the time.

I'm with you JMC, temptation toooo much not to. I have been having fun in the D3 with similar conditions, although with mixed outcomes
Confirms to me (if any confirmation were needed) what I already think about truck drivers & scooby owners!Back in the game!

You cant condone it but that was very nice control, throttle steered nearly all the way round. Who ever it was he had done that before though maybe not in a truck.

I'd have thought with all the torque a truck has, and nothing over the rear wheels it would be fairly easy to poke the rear end out.

It is, they call it jack-knife then.
Awesome control, I was waiting for how he'd get out of it, braking would have made him spin around. Only option is steering but I would not have dared to from that angle.

Tractor Units usually have quite a good steering lock which does allow you to get, and hold it well sideways Locking the diff also helps Renny Thomson
