Video: Reckless Driver films himself driving trailer from passenger's seat in Saudi Arabia

Saudi traffic authorities have arrested an Indian national who drove a trailer at a high speed while sitting on the passenger’s seat. The driver took even higher risks by filming a clip of his 'prowess' as he was driving with his outstretched left hand barely touching the steering wheel from the other side of the trailer moving at a speed exceeding 100 kilometres on a busy highway, Saudi news site Sabq reported.


The traffic authorities said the reckless they arrested the driver after he was identified by his sponsor. He was subsequently referred to the competent parties for legal measures.

He is most likely to be deported for breaking the laws and for his dangerous and reckless behaviour, they added. “He should be punished severely and not just deported,” Al Saroori, a blogger, said. “You cannot drive a vehicle as big as a small building and be so wildly irresponsible. The risks were dangerously high, and he should be made to realise the extent of the dangers he was causing.”
Fahad, another blogger, said he wanted to see more traffic patrols on highways, particularly in the evening.
“We have horrible movies in eastern Riyadh in the evenings,” he said. “Trailers carrying tonnes of goods jump red lights, posing serious threats to road users. I wish more patrols were around to catch them.”
