This is the moment a bungling Turkish driver falls out of his car while carrying out drifting tricks at a petrol station.

The idiot driver was filmed carrying out stunts in the city of Antalya in the south-western Turkish province of the same name on 8th February.

According to the news site TRT Haber, the driver, name not reported, went to the petrol station with a pal to carry out drifting tricks on the forecourt.

However, the driver’s door on the 1993 Tofas Sparrow vehicle opened during the stunt and the man ended up tumbling onto the tarmac.

Fortunately, his pal was in the car to apply the handbrake and bring the vehicle to a safe stop in the street.

In the footage, the speeding driver is seen whizzing out of the forecourt after apparently carrying out some drifting tricks, but falls out of the opened door while taking a sharp turn onto the street.

The man lands hard on the tarmac as the car continues to roll out into the road.

While the driver chases after the wayward vehicle, his friend apparently turns the steering wheel and applies the handbrake to bring the car to a safe stop in the middle of the street.

It is unclear if the local authorities are investigating the matter.

Tofas is a Turkish carmaker based in Bursa and established in 1968 by the entrepreneur Vehbi Koc.
