A Lexus driver in the UK drifted around a roundabout several times.
He was filmed doing it – now his driver's license has been gone for a while.
If a car is being drifted, it can look pretty casual.
However, this requires a certain talent from the person behind the wheel.
However, the right place to demonstrate his drift art would be a closed track - and not a public road.
A Lexus driver in Great Britain circled a roundabout several times - now he has to bear the consequences for his action.

Wild drift through the roundabout filmed by passers-by: 15 months driving ban
The 26-year-old Lexus drifter's bad luck: he was filmed by a passerby on his wild ride.
In the video (below) you can see how he, with a passenger, a roaring exhaust and smoking tires, first drifts in the roundabout, then around a traffic island, and then after another roundabout drift away.
The filmmaker apparently found the action less great and handed the video over to the police.
In the USA, even more daring crossing drifts have been in vogue for some time.
