    When you're driving down the highway and there is that one car swerving back and forth between lanes passing everyone, then five minutes later you see them stuck down in a ditch so you slow down to laugh and beep. 1:22.

      Good fast driving and getting them sideways is good fun, but you can do that without crashing.
      Plus due to the narrow wheelbase you need to hang out into a corner or they tip the opposite way and drag the luge body along the ground slowing you down.
      You see it all the time. Makes for very passing.
