[@alexchop1242]

I never drive fast with passengers in my car. I always think, that if I were to have an accident, they have no control over how I drive. Apart from telling me that I’m driving too fast. So in an accident, it’s me who’s in the line for the bit when the car hits something. I wouldn’t take anyone else to that level of danger. I actually tend to drive slower when I have passengers. You do end up a lot more distracted. It gets annoying however when a family member tells you that you’re going too fast, when in fact you’re already 10mph under the max speed limit. People ain’t happy behind on a 60 road when you’re doing 40! 50 is excusable though. Driving with folk is a massive responsibility. And it’s very distracting.

[@βασιληςελευθεριαδης-κ8φ]

fast driving also requires understanding what your car limits are and when you choose to do it it better be in a track.

...cars are coffins on wheels - though at night (especially dusk) in rural areas although no driveways random animals darting on to road - most people naturally react by sudden swerving which upsets the car control - then you get on the gravel on side of road and not too far from that is the obligatory tree and then the obligatory sudden impact and unfortunately but hopefully not the obligatory death.

Meanwhile people who are not good at Mario Kart, all they can do in real life is look straight and make sure to brake when they get too close to something.

[@roxyraccoon8856]

I gotta go with Justin. Unfortunately, Scotty and I both drove fast when we were young. Scotty with purpose, including car selection, me because I was unhappy for the most part. I knew guys my age who didn't speed, they'd also had a happier life than mine. That would be my point. I drove a Miata rental in their 2nd year. They were all automatic transmissions which took some of the fun away but I recall that with the Miata and also when I first began driving, I was more interested in driving well than fast. Seeing a beautiful day with the top down and trees overhead was more fun than speed. I will equate driving fast with my drive from Boston to north of San Francisco to deliver a car. It was a Honda hatchback automatic transmission loaded with the owner's belongings and 2 drivers. We drove mostly at night to avoid traffic. We also had to avoid some weather, drove through some of it as well. We stopped for sleeping 3 times, we actually drove deep south as my co-driver wanted to visit a girl. Other than a hike that day and when we walked around Vegas, we drove. Was that drive across country fun? I don't regret it but I don't feel like I saw the USA (I had been to San Fran on business several times before). Driving fast is kind of the same. Not much room for it in the Northeast, plenty of tickets waiting for your plate number and frankly, I don't want to hit anything that breathes. You're concentrated on driving (which is important) and you're ignoring the scenery. It's like working your whole life and never enjoying it. Finally, most chicks don't like it when you drive fast. A little yes but all the time, definitely not. The Fast and the Furious series made it look great, Detroit has sold the idea for years but if you need to drive fast, there is something that you need to learn about yourself. Sometimes it helps when you pay a pro to listen. Then get on with your life and do something good.

I can't believe more people don't know the reverse trick. I mean it's obvious on film--every time you see a high-speed chase you can see the wheels turning backwards!

[@blipco5]

On most modern cars if you're going down hill the fuel injectors shut off for better gas mileage and the wheels turn the engine. If you put it in neutral and coast down hill the fuel injectors must be used to keep the engine idling, therefore you're actually using MORE gas. True story.

[@Globalprospective]

You're forgetting about the work done on the pision when the throttle body closes; i tested this out and neutral is more fuel efficient down a long hill because you have no "engine brake" as some call it

[@NeverBeenArrested]

@@Globalprospective engine braking shuts off the injectors, if youre going down a mile long hill engine braking, you just went a mile without using any fuel. Neutral on the other hand, you'd be using fuel the whole mile.

@@NeverBeenArrested that depends on how steep the hill is. If you leave your car in gear, the engine slows you down, so depending on how big of a hill it is, you might get better gas mileage putting in neutral.

Look far ahead. Speed seems slower when you can see what’s coming. Best braking efficiency is when you brake in a straight line. Braking is corners can send the back end twisting round. The faster you drive the less steering inputs you need to make the same movement. Use your mirrors. Not for other people. For yourself. Look after yourself by knowing where everyone is.

[@Laurencemardon]

Excellent

All true, Except for the braking part. You shouldn't be driving fast if you don't have a good feel for how much braking to actually do while cornering.

Ha! My first car in college was a ‘69 Cougar...289? 302? I really wanted that yellow 426 Hemi ‘68 Superbee but when my uncle floored it during a test drive he yelled, “You ain’t gettin’ this!” 65 years old today and your vid caused me to reminisce about all the cars I’ve owned. 32 in all from American muscle and luxury boats to UK (MG & Jensen-Healey,) Italian (Fiat 128 & 308 GTS,) Japanese (Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, Subaru and Suzuki,) Volvo, Mercedes, and my favorite drivers Porsche 914, 924, 944 Turbo, 911S, Carrera 4, 928. The 924 sucked but every other Porsche was fun to drive and the most reliable of them all was the 914; and the 20 year old me drove the hell out of it. It wasn’t fast; a ‘70 vette would dust me off the line but give me a twisty road or even a city corner (not enough distance for the ‘vette to gain much advantage) and I felt like The Flash against the Hulk. My last American was a ‘78 Monte Carlo SS and truthfully, all my cars from ‘63 to ‘78 were reliable and comfortable - meaning they were soft and ill-handling - but reliable. The least reliable were: 2004 Volvo XC 70 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX 1974 Jensen-Healey 1978 Ferrari 308 GTS 196? MGA and the worst 1974 Fiat 128. Thanks for the memories.

Like Scotty said, know your path if you’re going to be pushing your car to the limit, it’s a good way to get yourself killed. I live near a road that’s probably a mile long straight and has a 90 degree curve at the end with no signing or reflectors. At night it’s basically impossible to see it until your headlights reach, and if you’re going 100+mph you’re not making that turn once you see it. 10+ people have died over the years from that corner, with dozens of totaled cars and serious injuries. Don’t be one of them.
