Seems like they are having entirely too much trouble completing this drive.

LOL "Driving straight in a straight tunnel is so not fun. Let's try some steer and drift."

You have got to be kidding me. There has to be something that we dont see or know. Unacceptable driving.

That Bus though!! Classic!!

Yeah that's crazy but then you have the other extreme when people drive mad slow thru the Lincoln/ Holland Tunnels as if they are scared too touch the wall. Its like they become claustrophobic and panic.

I liked those 2 small straight job trucks that flipped on their sides.

You can see a Blue IS300 at 1:07...

Anyway...this happens way too often to be bad driving. What's up with this tunnel? It seems like everybody is losing control-possible sharp turn?

I don't think it is so much tunnels themselves that are the problem with Russian drivers....it is what many of them keep under their seats and in their glove compartments.
