notice how he didnt put the front wheel very close to the edge but didnt mind hanging the back wheels over!

If the back wheels had've gone totally over the bus probably just would've grounded itself, though with the engine weight at the back it would've been interesting to see!!

Bet he had the door release button close to hand to make a quick escape!! =D

I've seen a Cope lorry do that in Dungloe main street before, pah

He would have been handy for the Italian job.

What a genius driver. Kinda embarasses us who can't get our car right between the lines at the local shopping centre!

Fair play to him, but he obviously had help from the outside - it all seems too tight to be doing it solo. And if he was doing it solo then the guy's a legend!

Why did he have to do this manover in the first place? Did he fail to pay attention to a warning sign leading to low bridge or tunnel up ahead?

It's a German TV show where the guest for the evening place bets on seemingly impossible tasks.

Did they have to take the railings of the bridge. When you look at the video you can see something on the bridge near the back wheel. Looks like screws.

Great bit of driving

Brilliant... wouldn't like to be a passenger sitting down the back though.
