GTA third-person driving viewpoint put to the test in the real world

Published at 10:22 PM PST

Perhaps you've never really noticed it before, but the default third-person view for driving in the Grand Theft Auto series is vastly different to how we drive in the real word. There is no doubt that driving in GTA using this view is far easier than the latter, first-person view, but how easy would it be to drive this way in a real-world car?

Rooster Teeth, who you may be familiar with for the Red vs. Blue Halo machinima, attempted to re-create the third-person view for the real world and put it to the test. Check out the video below to see how they did it, and how it turned out:
