Stunt driver Paul Swift breaks world record with two-wheel trick

Paul Swift from Darlington has driven a pickup truck on two wheels through the tightest of gaps - a mere 88cm wide.

The precision driver first attempted to drive on two wheels when he was just seven years old and now, aged 44, he has won a Guinness World Record for it.

Windy conditions on the day meant there was an added challenge. But after a couple of unsuccessful attempts Paul was victorious.

“It feels fantastic to get this record, especially for Guinness World Records Day," he said.

Paul now has a total of four Guinness World Records to his name. His others are tightest parallel park in an electric car, fastest time to perform five car stunts and most donuts in a car round a motorcycle performing a wheelie in one minute.
