Man uses semi to prank wife in viral video

July 25, 2012

A man following a towed semi decided to prank his sleeping wife by screaming that a semi truck  — which was being hauled with its front end facing the motorists — was about to hit their car.

The video went viral and was even picked up by NBC’s Today Show on Tuesday.

While some may find the wife’s reaction hilarious, many YouTube viewers commented at the safety risks involved with videoing while driving.

The jokester addressed the concerns in comments embedded into the video stating, “both hands are on the wheel.”
