    TO CLEAR EVERYTHING UP
    This is a meme from Hong Kong. The video is a Japanese bus driver skilfully driving down a hill. On the other hand, the audio, which is edited in, is from a viral Hong Kong video in which a minibus driver went nuts and drove recklessly on a highway while
    the passengers scream in terror. This YouTube channel thought it would be funny to add the sound of terrified passengers to this clip of a badass Japanese bus driver. Now is the time we appreciate how the editing synced so well.

    "Well he didn't actually skillfully drift down a hill because in addition to what you said the video is also sped up"

    I once visited Taroko Gorge in eastern Taiwan, and the bus driver drove like that. But he knew what he was doing.

    Thanks for clearing things up. In the Age of the Internet, seeing is not always believing.
    Should have smelled a rat when the credit displays the Director and Producer. You must be watching a lot of videos to have come across both the Japs and the HK videos used in this production.
