    The rear steer guy is having fun, but I'd bet the chief would have a frown on...

    That's just the opposite of drifting

    Yep in drifting the front would generally be to the inside of the curve.

    Where I live everyone pulls over and slows down or stops for an emergency vehicle; Police, Ambulance, or Fire.

    Also, right at the end of the video (:28) it appears there is a car in the grass behind the guard rail to the right.

    If the trailer has a high CG then that is likely a tactic to maintain a stable high speed turn
