From the sound of the language, I presume this was filmed in Russia, but I could be wrong. Can anyone confirm?
Wherever it was, clearly the towing driver had never heard of proper weight distribution on a trailer – or a sway control device!

The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

Reminds me of the time that I put a Dodge M-37 that weighed 5,600lbs on a U-Haul car trailer that was rated for 4,000lbs. max. Fortunately we never had the catastrophic event occur, but the whole trip, I could feel the truck on the back trying to "steer" the one I was pulling the trailer with. Never again.
Actually the ONLY way to recover is to speed up… counter intuitive, but it works…
We used to pull our old Dodge behind the camper on a towbar, and that would happen with amazing regularity. Recovery is not that difficult, if you start as soon as the sway begins.
And yes, that's Russian. I can't place the accent, but the bad words are pretty clear!

Definitely not Russian. Cue the Polish jokes.
