I think it was Tiff Needell that said the sidewall is like a bit of extra rubber to drive on when needed. These Middle Eastern pranksters take that notion quite literally by placing a Nissan Patrol on two wheels.
The video is like a prank within a prank. First, the mother gets pranked by her son with this hagwalah-style joyride. But after that, she gets back at all of them by pretending to faint.

We think the entire thing is staged for two very good reasons. Firstly, she should have known something was up when junior says they have to launch the drone before they start driving, and there is going to be another car following theirs. Most people would also revert to their native language (Russian in this case) when faced with a dangerous situation. Secondly, you can see Vitaly smirking from ear to ear at 2:47, as if everything is going according to plan and this is going to be one of the most awesome videos he's ever made.

Of course, he's right, as the insane car stunt gives this video instant viral appeal, with nearly 700,000 people having watched it within half a day. But only time will tell if two-wheel shenanigans are going to be as popular as this Youtuber's famous gold digger supercar pranks.

Clearly, we've seen plenty of people driving cars on two wheels. The Middle East is famous for such stunts, but this one has many people stunned. With just one hand on the steering wheel, the driver makes it look so easy as he tips the oversized Nissan Patrol without using ramps. Centrifugal force and a large roundabout are all that's needed here!

Everybody in the YouTube comments section is wondering how many cars the stuntman crashed before getting so good at tipping the SUV over. After all, we are talking about a vehicle that weighs around 2.7 tons, and has soft suspension and tall tires, not the best combination when a precise balance needs to be maintained. What we want to know is what happens to the lip of those shiny alloy wheels when you drive like this.
