Ian is 25 years old and he lives in Romania. He is a truck driver and he hates his job. Since Romania is a pretty big Eastern European country, he sometimes has to drive for many hours. It gets kind of boring and he has to stay focused on the road for so long. Sometimes he has to drive 10 to 15 hours. He doesn't want to quit because his salary is good.
Last year, his boss told him that he had to make a delivery from City A to City B. He would have to be on the road for 20 hours. He knew he would be tired and bored so he asked his friend to join him. His friend agreed to ride with him.
After a few hours on the road, they were both bored. Then Ian had an idea. He told his friend to take out his camera. Ian started to dance and drive at the same time. His friend recorded Ian's dance and put it on YouTube. Ian has been a YouTube star because many people have watched him dance and drive. The Romanian police has been looking for Ian because they want to charge him for dangerous driving.
A few months ago, the police arrested Ian because he was drinking and driving.
Some people in Romania are happy because they feel safer now that Ian can no longer drive. The video of Ian dancing and driving may seem funny to most people but it is actually quite scary. He uses his foot to steer and there are moments when his hands are not on the steering wheel! It is important that drivers take driving seriously. Many people get hurt because of dangerous drivers.
His video is actually a bit scary:

Poem
See me drive and dance.
See me take a chance.
I am kind of crazy.
I named my truck Daisy.
Maybe I'll move to France.
