Roumanians think it's funny, we are NOT amused.

A roumanian truckdriver found it necessary to give a little show in his truck while driving on our roads. Everyday there are mortal accidents on our roads caused by distracted truckdrivers. I wonder why.

I can't believe how irresponsible he is. I found it appalling. And I thought eating and driving was bad.

I definitely think that such behavior does not belong on the road and I hope the driver gets caught.

However, I also think that we should learn how spell name of each country properly. It is Romania not Roumania! Plus, I did read about 3 pages of the discussion since I speak several European languages and first of all the video was posted by Polish person and most of the comments in non-English are in Polish, and second of all, it does not appear that Romanians would think that the video is funny. There are plenty of English comments finding the video hilarious... The title of this thread is misleading and very wrong!

I just don't like when people stereotype without having an actual understanding of situation, people and customs in different countries. Especially, here in "United States of Ameurica" we should try to be smarter and avoid stereotyping!

I believe the OP lives in Europe.

What is there to understand? What custom should make his actions right? Road safety is essential. No matter where he comes from. Period.

I take that road weekly and believe me when you're at (or is it in ?) the back of a traffic jam you just pray (even if you're not religious) that the truckdrivers behind you see you in time.

That truckdriver does a couple of things wrong: he rides without shoes (forbidden in our country), he drives on cruise control (forbidden on that highway) and the rest you can see for yourselves.

So no stereotyping here... it's just reality.
