Just as the elephant seems to get close enough to ram the vehicle, the elephant loses interest and walks away into the forest.
The incident purportedly occurred at the Kabini National Park in India.
Many users praised the driver for his skillful backwards driving.
“Seriously the driver deserves [an applause] for his calm and composure. The reaction of the guy sitting next to the driver,” one user wrote.
“Damn total hats off to the driver,” another user commented.
