The road can be a dangerous place. Never mind the fact that it’s filled with giant hunks of metal weighing thousands of pounds traveling at 65 mph via controlled explosions. As we all know, the pilots of these machines aren’t always up to the task of driving – sometimes they aren’t paying attention, sometimes they aren’t sober, and sometimes, well, they’re just crazy. We’re not exactly sure which category the driver of this white Chevrolet Silverado falls into, but either way, the result is a whole lot of vaporized tire, and plenty of distress for nearby motorists.
Captured by one of those distressed motorists and posted to Facebook, it appears as though this incident occurred earlier in June in Texas. The driver comes up on a white Chevrolet Silverado doing a burnout in the middle of the highway, weaving back and forth across the lanes, while two long lines of rubber trail behind. The tire smoke billows into the air as the driver mashes the throttle.
The other drivers on the highway are understandably confused, hesitating to pass the Chevrolet Silverado as it tortures its rear tires. As such, traffic backs up behind the truck, with the other motorists throwing on their hazards while they wait for the truck to finish its absurd display. Weirdly, the driver shooting the video comes up on the same white Chevrolet Silverado a few miles down the road, once again doing the same swaying burnout across the highway.
The exact story behind what caused the craziness remains uncertain. Maybe the driver was intoxicated, or maybe the driver got fired and sought revenge on the company truck’s tires. Maybe the driver just wanted to show off. Either way, according to the Facebook post, the driver was eventually arrested by no less than four police officers.
It just goes to show, the road can be dangerous – especially with drivers like this.

That’s a great new mountain-bike course / path!
Find new roads!
Why is this guy a lunatic? Did he hurt anybody? For all you people that are going to say he could have. Please stop you either do or you dont.
If this happened in front of me I would wait until he was done then go on about my day. Instead you have these people who can’t wait to pull out their phones and post the video. They cant wait to report this, why cant people just mind their own business. Let this guy do a burnout, stay away from him. Then go on about your life.
Some people are pathetic!
Well, I kind of get what you’re saying, this isn’t some back road with nobody around. This shows a pretty extreme lack of awareness.
Maybe you should watch that video again an notice all the other cars that slow way down and had to watch out for this idiot that came to a complete stop in the middle of a road for no reason.
So yeah, if he isn’t bothering anyone, then who cares? That isn’t what’s going on here.
Run the imbecile’s plates and arrest him. This type of stupidity put dozens of lives in danger.
Like I said before!
What you said before was dumb though. You seem to think he wasn’t bothering anyone, and he clearly was. If everyone acted like this guy, you wouldn’t be able to use the roads at all.
You’re obviously 14-15 years old or simply have the mentality of a 14-15 year old. If everyone drove like this individual, we’d have a lot of problems.
There are a handful of laws the he broke here. If you hate laws and police officers, best of luck living in a society without them.
Too bad there wasn’t sound….
A punk by all definitions driving the truck his daddy bought for him.
Real people, not actors.
Three months of quarantine does things to some people.
The point I was trying to make was why do people have to report him? Just let him do his thing, once it’s over move on about your life!
People will break their arm to report a person like that!
Can we as a society go back to minding your own business?
If a cop caught him then fine because that’s his job.
How do we know that he wasn’t drunk? We do not. A person does normally act in this manner, unless they are mentally impaired.
One time I was driving home around midnight and saw a guardrail torn to pieces and car parts strewn about. A half mile down the road, a car was driving that was completely mangled and was barely running (hood smashed in, parts falling off, smoking, etc.). I guess I should’ve have though to myself, “Oh well, nobody was lying dead in the middle of the road. Who cares if he hurts someone a few miles down the road, once he’s out of my site.”. I called the Police and gave them his plates. If your car was that damaged in an accident, why would you not stop and call for help? There is a very good chance that this person was drunk or impaired in some way.
Please use your head for something more than a hat rack.
Again by you assuming he’s drunk which is absurd! You dont have to be drunk to do burnouts! You will say what ever you need to say to justify your involvement!
It’s not your job to monitor the roads we drive on! That’s job is the responsibility of law enforcement. Let them do their job.
If I saw the same tore up car you saw driving down the road, again I would drive on by and mind my own business. But then I guess I dont have a desire to police the world.
You and I should meet up for lunch sometime. I think I’d have a really good time.
Name the place
Actually the person in my story had been drunk, as I saw the incident posted in the police blotter a few days later. I am in hopes that neither you nor and of your relatives are hurt or killed by people like these. Best of luck!
I dont care if he was drunk it’s not your job to police the streets! Stop trying to be a vigilanty.
Yes …….V8 Power !!!!!! That’s what I’m talking about, 4000lbs plus truck ! Go V8 GETER DONE!
Hey Alex,
Why is this catogorized under racing?
Is that thing supercharged or something ? I don’t think my 6.2 will do that.
