Great advice, succinct and near enough to what I've concluded in my driving. I especially appreciate your comments on not endangering innocent people with your driving, thinking about if the situation is appropriate for your driving etc. This is a lot safer than people who insist that spirited driving is inherently evil. There's plenty of innocent people who've been killed be incompetent drivers these days.

My cousin was a driving instructor and wanted me to take over (which I didn’t) in 80s, we would go what is now known as drifting in a disused carpark. To teach what it feels like when you loose grip on different wheels. When icy usually. He taught me horizon. Fastest on an A road in a car is 175mph, bike163mph. Annoying that a Nissan 35 twin turbo was faster lol. It was tuned. In 90s that was. Now if I am ever possibly, without prodigious lol. I always slow when passing other vehicles or any high risk. Junction etc. then accelerate. I also have ADHD which means I hyper focus when driving. I know what is going around me to my full forward vision, rear up and sideways. Just don’t bother trying to have a conversation with me as driving comes first. I now run an AMG estate. Fastest Leonberger dogs in the country, run flats before someone says blow out? A blow out on a bike at speed on front wheel and staying calm and in control. I’ll leave it there. Add rear bike and car and van. Never deviated from my lane. Sometimes get a 👍off other bikes when in my car? 😀 I wont say why. I don’t lane hog I don’t try to intimidate other drivers, driving too close etc. though sometimes I would love to. I will undertake with great caution vehicles that are oblivious or on a mission to personally police roads by blocking lane 3 at 67mph max. Driven in Europe a fair bit where the driving standards are so much higher than the UK which is terrible. Too many pretentious idiots trying to personally police roads? Because they are under the false pretence they are correct?? What you are saying is fantastic for youngsters. A shame we no longer get stopped and lectured which actually sinks in and educates as opposed to fine and punish. My son is about to loose his license in wales at 36 mph on a wide road with good vision at 22:00 hrs. In England? 3 points max. He’s learning. Been a bad boy but no one has actually stopped, scared and educated him as to what and why it was wrong. Add no leniency ££££ Take care Peace and love ❤️

If everyone just drove on the speed limit you didn't theory just have a pile of cars together, people going different speeds allows traffic to thin out. And when you see traffic accumulate it's because someone needs to be tailgated

You talk about destroying your transmission and then go on to do two gearchanges on the approach to a bend when one change from 4th to 2nd AFTER you had adjusted the speed to match the vanishing point would have resulted in much less wear and tear on your vehicle.

@daviddaw999Күн бұрын
The fact that you thought double the speed means double the braking distance shows how unaware you are. Let me tell you that the average driver's time to react to something not anticipated is somewhere between 1.5 - 2.0 seconds. You were anticipating coming up to the cone, so your 'reaction time' add-on is utterly meaningless. I was a qualified Fatal Collision Investigator and accepted as an expert witness by courts, so my knowledge of real-world reaction times is pretty good. BTW at 60mph a reaction time of 1.5 - 2.0 seconds involves a driver covering somewhere between 132 - 176 feet before he even gets onto the brakes.

There is no such thing as the 'fast lane of the motorway'. Motorway lanes are always numbered from the left hand side: lane #1, lane#2, lane #3, lane #4. Any lane other than lane #1 is an overtaking lane and nothing else.

There seems to be a delay between him pressing the button and the grand actually selecting the next ratio. Manuals are better and cheaper Quaife are better and faster Drenth are perfect. Why is he using a slow, laggy, standard gearbox?

You only need 1 clutch and you only need it for moving off from a stop. Any car with a good gearbox can go all the way up and down the cogs without a clutch. Using two of them adds weight and cost and complexity and problems for no reason. If it’s not Drenth it’s not good. If it’s not Quaife you’re not even trying. DQ250 can fuck off.
@nickcook7408Күн бұрын
Automatics are the worst. They’re reactive, not proactive, so they’re never in the right gear at the right time. Eyeballs looking down the road and a manual means you can select the right gear before the event, so you don’t have to wait on the car to think and decide. Are you the driver or the passenger?

10 and 2 used to be the recomended way to hold the wheel when steering wheels were bigger with a smaller center and no airbags. Since airbags came out the recomended poisition is 9 and 3 which I find most comfortable.

Your M2 might be able to stop incredibly quickly on a grippy test track, but what you haven't realised that the best brakes in the world are not much good on a road surface that has a poor coefficient of friction. As long as a brake is powerful enough to lock a tyre, then your braking distances are dependent solely on the road surface's coefficient of friction. Your fantastic brakes will be no better than mine on a road covered in mud from a field gateway, for example.

At 08:05 you talk about 'taking a gear for the corner' and you select 3rd. What if tomorrow you came to the same corner when there was perhaps snow on the ground; you would probably be going a fair deal slower, but it is the same corner so would you still be in 3rd? I suggest that what you need to do is select a gear that suits the speed you have chosen to drive through the hazard at; do that, and the same corner can be taken in a variety of gears to suit the prevailing circumstances. The errors in your driving are really schoolboy stuff, and are things that even a small amount of advanced tuition from any of the established providers would put right. Where does your ability to pontificate on driving matters come from? What advanced tuition have you undertaken? Who provided it?
@daviddaw999Күн бұрын
'Slip the clutch between the gears' - what on earth are you on about? Do that and your clutch will have a very limited lifespan. If you time your gearchanges properly you ought to be able to change gear smoothly without using the clutch at all. Have you ever tried that?
@daviddaw999Күн бұрын
You are clueless when it comes to using a gearbox: at around 06:30 you change from 4th to 3rd, and immediately to 2nd while on the approach to a bend. It looks as though you are changing gear and braking at the same time and you have already told us about the poor grip afforded by the road surface, so why have one hand off the wheel to change when braking? Why not go from 4th straight to 2nd; it saves your energy and wear and tear on your transmission. At around 15:10 you change from 6th, to 5th, and immediately to 4th - why not straight from 6th to 4th? Have you not heard of the technique of block changing?

Using gears to slow down is such a bad idea. By all means use acceleration sense to obtain the correct speed for the hazard and then select an appropriate gear, but taking lower gears to actually get to the correct speed for one thing fails to show following vehicles any brake lights. It also increases mechanical wear and tear on the vehicle and the the old saying 'brakes to slow, gears to go' makes a lot of sense - it is cheaper to replace brake pads than clutches and gearboxes.

For someone who stresses the communication from the steering wheel you spend an incredible amount of time with only one hand on the wheel. Surely that is akin to having a conversation, but only using one ear to listen. You also spend far too much time with your right arm on the door's armrest. Please tell us where you got your information about hand placement affecting the way the steering reacts to inputs. Telling us that the higher up the wheel your hands are, the twitchier the steering becomes is just garbage. While on the subject of garbage, your comment about the throttle on a motorcycle having the effect of lengthening the wheelbase is utter nonsense. Your talk of using the throttle to steer a vehicle on public roads is going to make you a liability. I would love to take you for a drive and show you what real driving is all about. How about it?
@MickDrivesCars2 күн бұрын
1) Do you use 1st gear at all times, just to make sure you can accelerate? No, me neither. I use two hands when needed, as you can see in the video. 2) Test it before saying it's garbage. 3) The wheelbase on a motorcycle literally extends under acceleration... I don't know how much clearer I can be. 4) a bit of rotation never killed anyone. 5) PLEASE. Let's film it. Where are you based?

@@MickDrivesCars I have been driving for over half a century and the method I use to steer has been around for a lot longer than I have. I have watched people use all sorts of hand positions on the steering wheel as I sat beside them in my job as an instructor at the Metropolitan Police Driving School, and I have tried them all - trust me yours is garbage. Clearly you have never ridden a shaft drive BMW R series bike on which the wheelbase shortens when the throttle is opened. If the wheelbase is extended on most bikes, then the amount it does is so small as to be unnoticeable. Rotational steering works on a track, but is a liability on the road. I live in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, so if you are ever near me I'd be happy to show you how I drive and offer you an honest critique of the way you manage a car.
