Video: Drifting in a Semi Truck... Yes, on Public Roads

That is fawesome. Makes me wonder why it hasn't been done before, actually. Big power, low gearing, front-heavy, and a tight turning radius makes for a great drifter!

That is sweet.

I have actually done something similar .... but different.

Was driving a brand new tractor without a trailer once, was slowing to make a 90 deg right and a combo of sand on the road and super touchy air brakes made the rear step out into a slide while making the turn - don't know how it got corrected but I'm sure the guy in the car coming to the intersection had to change his drawers.

We have traffic circles (rotaries) around here and I have successfully drifted a pickup in the wet, all the way around - fun!

And, I've worked for the two largest parcel delivery companies and drifted with a very large diesel delivery truck on greasy, wet pavement in the summer and snow in the winter - and the road wasn't always empty. A good way to deal with the mundane and boredom. Very fun but also very dumb - I'm lucky.

This guy in Poland has it going on - wonder what the people in the cars were thinking.

I think I may have received some of Rick8365's deliveries.
