Bobcat flips out in traffic on busy Russian road

• Out of control: Inexperienced ride no mate for retired racehorse
• Mad machines: The car that can drive over traffic jams

Losing control can sometimes be a good thing.

When you're on a dance floor in glittery hotpants, it can be awesome.

When you're on a busy road and you're a bobcat, it can be kind of dangerous.

This bobcat spat the dummy in the middle of traffic on a major road in Russia, and thankfully someone was there to record it on dashcam.

Sure, a piece of earthmoving machinery carrying on like a pork chop in a high-density area probably isn't the safest.

No one wants to cop a solid metal bucket to the hip.

And you can imagine the operator was freeeeaking out as they were being thrashed around in the cab.

But then, there's also something that is very freeing about this video.

If you imagine the bobcat is not a mindless machine but a piece of equipment that just happens to have a face, mind and feelings like a character from Bob the Builder, it's a different story.

It's like there was a Bob the Builder rave party and this guy is still feeling the beats on the way home.

And when you think of it like that, then this is just an example of someone following that immortal life advice: dance like nobody's watching.

You do you, Bobcat.
