Do not try this at home! These theatrics, involving two vehicles meeting each other on a narrow bridge are undeniably over-the-top but demonstrate impressive car control, driver skills and tyre integrity. Watch below.
In what can only be described as an unnecessary flex of driving skills and prowess, the latest viral video to emerge out of China shows two minivans meeting on a narrow bridge, with a balustrade on the one side and a concrete wall on the other side and only enough space for one to proceed at a time. The logical manoeuvre between the drivers would be to have one minivan reverse into a wider section so that the other can pass but where would the fun in that be?

The first minivan moves as close to the balustrade as possible while the other reverses to a section of the bridge where the concrete wall is only marginally above the road. The driver then proceeds to mount the wall with the front right wheel with the trailing rear wheel to follow. By doing this, the lopsided minivan is able to carefully manoeuvre past the other in order for it to proceed. Once done, the driver reverses to a section where the concrete wall becomes slightly lower and gently uses the front right wheel to lower down from the raised surface.

Completely over the top? Absolutely, but nonetheless an impressive display of both driving prowess and tyre integrity. Would we recommend doing this? Absolutely not! There are much simpler and safer ways of allowing traffic to pass!

While a minivan may not be the best vehicle to climb concrete walls with, CARmag offers a wide selection of new and used 4x4s that would be far better suited for the job. Browse here.
