Arab Drifting Is Alive and Kicking, Douchebag Hagwallah Footage Surfaces

In fact, the only thing that appears to have changed is the quality of the footage - with smartphones getting better and better, passengers seem to enjoy the camera man role. For the clip below, this means we get to see the Hagwallah from all sorts of angles.

Whether it's a Kia, such as the one in the video below, a Nissan, a Toyota, or even a Dodge Charger, all these drivers care about is swinging their rides violently on public roads, which, on many occasions, happen to be busy.

While most of these examples involve front-wheel-drive cars, RWD machines aren't spared. We've double-explained this since the point is that these guys only show partial car control - from a point onwards, they simply let the so-called fate take over - for every "successful" clip you see, there are tons of crash videos that may or may not be posted online.

Notice how, while the driver does show a certain amount of skill, once things go out of his routine, he can't convince the machine to come back in line.

And while this occasion doesn't see the event drawing too much of a crowd, other episodes allowed us to notice lots and lots of spectators sitting on the side. In fact, the attendees are just as irresponsible as the drivers, with many of them ending up getting hit when a car goes out of control.

Back in 2014, Saudi Arabia made Hagwallah a criminal offense and we hoped this would determine the drivers who enjoy such shenanigans to stop. But that is obviously not the case.
