This is the unbelievable moment a Saudi man is filmed texting on his phone from the bonnet of a car as it speeds along a motorway at 50mph.<\/p>\n
The fearless stunt shows the man stretching out, relaxing and even kicking his feet in the air as he sits on the front of vehicle.<\/p>\n
The incredible footage has quickly become a hit online and has been viewed more than 1.1million times since it was posted on YouTube last week.
\nThe footage appears to have been shot from another car as it approaches the vehicle travelling in the outside lane of a highway in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
As the camera pulls alongside, the daredevil performer can be seen, wearing traditional Saudi dress, hunched over a mobile phone on the bonnet of the car.<\/p>\n
The car has to move over as traffic begins to build up, but in a final death-defying stunt the man turns around and kneels up with arms on the roof.<\/p>\n
It is unclear whether those filming the performance were part of the act or passed it by coincidence.<\/p>\n
Recently young men have taken to ‘sidewalk skiiing’ – a new craze which involves gripping onto the outside of a car as it drives along on two wheels.<\/p>\n
A large middle-Eastern country made up largely of desert, Saudi Arabia has plenty of open road for fearless riders to practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
