Video: Saudi drifter takes out lamppost

Anyone who has spent any time surfing videos on YouTube can't have helped but notice that the Saudis love messing about in cars. In fact, the only thing they seemingly love more is videotaping their antics and posting them online for posterity.

It's not surprising really. In contrast to our choked roads, motorists in the Middle East have the room to get their cars sideways (mostly) without fear of hitting anything – the desert surroundings providing the ideal run-off area for those who have got it a touch wrong.
