Viral: Watch Incredibly skilled driver makes a U-Turn on this narrow hilly road
A thrilling video showing a driver making a U-turn on an extremely narrow and hilly road has gone viral on social media platforms.
Highlights
- Driving in hills could be tricky
- In the video, the car is front-wheel-drive
- Only driver can be seen in the car
Yet another video of incredible driving has come to light, in what seems to be the same mountain top as earlier. A new viral video shows a man making a U-turn on the edge of a hill that has got the viewers to bite their nails. This driving video shows some extreme driving skills.
Among the things that were helpful for the driver was the front-mounted engine, which made sure most of the vehicle's weight would remain in front. As there were no passengers or heavy loads in the third row, the weight was kept on the front wheels. According to the video, the car seems to be a front-wheel-drive, which was also an advantage given that, due to the cliff edge, the rear tyres could have lost traction.
Hilly roads require a driver to pay attention to which gear they should be in when approaching a hairpin. In order to take a turn safely, the driver must keep both hands on the steering wheel.
The roads on hills are filled with blind turns, so driving on them is quite different from driving on city streets. Therefore, you and the opposing driver would be unable to spot each other in time. Staying on the left will simply give oncoming cars enough room to pass.
