Police hunt 'crazy' YouTube lorry driver

Police are hunting a Romanian lorry driver after he released a video of himself dancing in his cab while driving along a busy motorway.

The driver - who works all over Europe and the UK - handed the recording to a TV station and YouTube after filming his mad antics.

As he cranks up the volume on a wild gypsy folk song, the Romanian trucker starts thrashing around the cab waving both hands wildly with barely a glance at the road ahead. Then he unfastens his seat belt so he can gyrate around the driver's seat before moving over to the passenger footwell to dance away from the control pedals and steering wheel.



At one point he even steers with his feet as she shows off for the camera as he drives terrifying close to other trucks and cars.

Amazingly he brags: "I was just bored, this wasn't anything special. We all do this - we sing, while we're driving."

Copies of the tape are now being viewed by traffic police throughout Europe as they try to track down the dodgy driver. He claims the performance was shot by his brother as they drove from Holland to Belgium. Others believe the dance might have been recorded in France.
