Staggering footage has emerged of young drivers apparently swapping seats in a moving Audi on the motorway.

The Snapchat clip shows the men in hysterics as a man apparently leaves the driving seat empty as the car zooms along.

It was posted on Facebook with the message: “How did these guys swap seats on the motorway with a moving car”.

As the clip begins, a voice off-camera says: “Yo. You know the car is moving, innit? This guy’s looking to swap seats with him.”

The front seat passenger is then seen to reach over and keep the wheel steady while the driver, who is holding a mobile phone, clambers into the back seat .

The front seat passenger then climbs over the gear stick into the driving seat and takes over.

You can hear the cameraman say: “Yous are takin’ the p***, for f**s sake”.

The video, posted on December 17, ends with two of the lads in the back of the car smiling to the camera with the message: "They swapped seats with a moving car omg".

The motorway cannot be identified from the footage, which has been viewed more than 7,000 times in 24 hours.

It sparked a mixed reaction from the man’s Facebook followers. One wrote: “Thats what you call testing faith so dangerous and stupid.”

Others were apparently impressed by it.

One user replied: “Lads we need to try this next”.

Another posted: “You know this is my sorta driving style” [sic].

A third wrote: “Cruise control and one steady hand easy!”

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said they have not received any reports of dangerous driving in connection with the footage, reports the Manchester Evening News .
