Rocking Russian truck

The van has obviously captured someone; or hast it just captured your attention? I cannot believe, as others seem to believe, that someone is in there jumping about.

Should have knocked out the passenger in the back before taking him to get his cement shoes fitted.

it's empty and has a damaged drive train or sth. so at low rpm the frequence of the damaged drive is approximatly the eigenfrequency of the truck which leads to resonance effects. yes i know it's the boring one, it's really an elefant shagging a horse inside the truck, who has to stop while driving to not fall over :)

Your argument about resonant frequencies is pretty good, except once the truck arrives at a stoplight, it first goes up and down, stops, then goes side to side. The eigenfrequency would likely have the same rotational vector as the driveshaft. An equally boring possibility is that the driver is playing with the clutch, accelerator and brake to create the effect, but the most parsimonious answer is that James Bond, while trying to defuse a bomb in the cargo hold is being chased by a gorilla on a pogo-stick.

I can't explain it. Must be the proof of God then.
