Watch the white Cayenne pull off the driving maneuver off his life by dodging the oncoming truck!

That Nissan driver needs to have his/her license revoked for life.

They need to lose their license and go to jail for 30 days or something.

I've always been a Cayenne hater (I'm sorry but the 911 nose does not belong on an SUV!) but I saw one run at the PCA Driver Skills and was very impressed by its breaking and swerving ability. If an truck is headed at an SUV next to me, I hope it's a Cayenne

It also help to know how to drive, a "talent" most US drivers sadly lack. Too bad the states don't make "DE" events mandatory for a license.

Absolutely! What I find harder to understand, is that most insurance policies exclude DE's for coverage...it makes the driver better so they have a better chance of avoiding accidents.

Holy ****! I can't believe that Cayenne driver just swerved around the whole thing!!!

If it was a 911, that could be easier to understand but wow!

BTW on the subject of drivers in the US, I hate Miami drivers!!!

I believe that NY drivers were recently voted the worst. I can believe that. MJ and MA drivers aren't much better!

I have often advocated for a graduated license system. The lowest would allow you to drive on sunny weekend days. The most difficult would allow you to drive at night during a snow storm; issued only to those that had demonstrated proficency in car control.

Amazing video, miracle noone was killed.

Unfortunately, I think AAA just came out with a report that CA driver's are the worst. True in my book!!

The Porsche driver is also lucky that there was nobody besides him/her as the car swerved. He/she might have just turned w/o looking around.

While this is quite possible, more likely is that the driver already knew that there was no one next to her (or him) so she (or he) knew that the maneuver would be successful.



or not.

chances are good that no matter what was next to him

it was a better option than getting crushed by a semi

that was amazing driving with a car that was capable of letting the driver perform such a move. Just awesome
