Driveways, speedbumps Slightly cut across driveways and speed bumps on approach. Make contact with one front tire at a time to avoid sudden drops of the car. I've incorporated leaving blacktop in front of the car ahead as a safety measure for getaways. I always lock doors upon sitting down, then buckle up next after inserting ignition key. Always watching through windows , mirrors,etc. For passengers ` safety. Transition movements are where the passenger is most vulnerable. Getting in/out of the car. Driver must be alert to set up dangers, situations that don't feel right, something changed when arriving back [home]. A light that was on in the doorway and now is out at night. The driver is a driver, bodyguard, psychologist, security advisor, confidant (you forget everything you've heard and seen) that doesn't apply to better driving, safety, and comfort for the passenger. Do not tell people who you drive for, yes, not even family. Play it down. A few tips. From USA with love Jm

Lies again? American Education Chevrolet Chauffeur

[@Mordecrabs]

I’m here after watching Parasite. The movie was accurate in the scene with the chauffeur dad being tested.

[@golferpro1241]

Did it for a family for 11 years. Made a lot of money. A nice clean job!

[@Salesman]

It's one of those under the radar jobs that not many people know about. But to be fair, this is a job with high attention to detail that not many people can do it. But man, the rewards are amazing.

[@nathanielfoo7835]

rule one of being a chauffeur get to where the client wants to go. you just went round in circles

[@Xatger]

I liked the way he looked forward at the street and not at the client as she entered the car

[@raveluxurytransportation8068]

I absolutely love this! Well done! Spot on instruction!

[@LocoDice7]

When the client is in the car always round the car by front when you go to the drivers seat and not by back! That way the client won’t have to look for you

[@JohnSmith-hs5br]

I thought we were to go round back out of respect as not to walk in front of someone.

[@jansmit941]

Except in a Rolls Royce because you never walk in front of the spirit of ecstasy.

[@savagecabs3546]

Depends where you are parked

[@user-mn5jt5we8f]

You mean you select the way from the back to get into the vehicle right? Not from infront..?

[@richmondl.littlejohniii]

Outstanding Coaching Sir!

[@chainblast2590]

YES Love the Quattroporte

[@paulhayman7407]

Watching him being taught has made me a better car driver

[@SuperEvilC]

Yeah, never ask for lunch with the client. And if they ask you try to politely decline... but don't refuse (if possible, secure limo/sedan etc etc) if they insist.

[@Hotecce1]

im looking at getting into this industry, but looking at this type of senario, wouldnt you accept an invite by the client, as they are paying for your services, and probably want/need some type of human interaction. Just my thoughts.

[@TheDestineyy]

@@Hotecce1 Hey have you gotten into the industry yet? If the client is offering, there isn't much reason to decline. Especially if you're driving them around regularly.

[@Hotecce1]

@TheDestineyy no. I never got into the industry. there was no garantee that I would have gotten clients

[@TheDestineyy]

@@Hotecce1 You have to work for an agency to guarantee clients. The only way to start by yourself is being hired from a job advert

[@jasonmarroquin8692]

Thanks amazing video Im going to start a new job as a private Driver

[@alexpetrov150]

For me it’s not important all this etiquette, important how the driver know location where I’m going and how to get there not stay in traffic.

[@SuperEvilC]

Then a Taxi is appropriate for you sir.

[@sunlee3561]

Ace job mate!

[@YourDriverCompanyKyivUkraine]

Interesting job

[@boy638]

4:10 was this shot being re-used again lol

[@UCZ15]

had to dislike it for that piss poor reason. great vid otherwise though!

[@Horizon301.]

boy638 the same shot was used three times

[@KyrstOak]

I must not have been paying proper attention. What are the other times?

[@pinkynandi8894]

I like casual driver

[@prithurajjoshi8927]

Very interesting ❤

[@nathanielfoo7835]

6:30 your back at the same place.

[@SuperEvilC]

First thing you do is ditch the doppy hat!!

[@aaronhussain3873]

In my eyes, a Quattroporte is supposed to be driven fast and aggressively, since (with the right engines) it's a 4 door supercar. I would've said 'f*ck it' to those rules and drove that thing hard and fast like a Maserati should!

[@aaronhussain3873]

KevinTheFirefighter you're absolutely right, diesel Masers are lazy and soft cruisers like the German rivals. I went to prom in a diesel Ghibli and it was by no means sporty, even at the slightest level. I wrote a review on it on a car website, and in short: it was utter crap... This car in the video, however- is the S version. With the 410hp 3.0 litre twin turbo Ferrari V6. So it has sporting credentials :)

[@davidebonannini640]

Aaron Hussain what you said reveals you never rode any modern 3.0L turbodiesel, neither german nor italian.(which isn't Fiat btw), because those engines all have tons of torque (600Nm) able to crush your chest right into the seat at 1,500rpm.

[@dimitristripakis7364]

That is a job I could do and like!

[@1hard2findbro]

Well done 🏆

[@xrsuperduper7660]

I always ask my clients for food, sometimes im lucky. The driver got to eat to you know. Millioners have to much money anyways is our company policies 😎👍

[@golferpro1241]

Sure. You’re a hobo

[@hhharada]

[@ilibertywalkedmybaconct4445]

[@9458177]

Who was the celebrity?

[@DIANAROSS4EVER]

Someone they paid to pretend to be a celebrity

[@Aston_one77]

You should learn from Frank Martin how to transport 😂

[@Hotecce1]

thats very different. Frank transported for evil bad people.

[@badongdejoestar1861]

Here watching to apply for my goal to be an uber driver haha

[@simontrucker3624]

First things first, before entering the car, make sure your Chauffeur isn't twelve.

[@michaelmcdonald9847]

lmao what celeb would choose to ride in the back of a quattroporte

[@mrblack6974]

May I toss your salad madame!!!

What's a tarmac?......sounds so British.....

[@JohnDoe-nu6si]

Tarmac = Asphalt

[@fredfredburger5150]

The word "Tarmac" is a trademark for a bituminous binder used to pave roads. In this use, it is properly capitalized. Before "Tarmac," there was a generic word, "tarmacadam," formed by combining "tar" with "macadam." Macadam, which is named after 19-century British engineer John L. McAdam, is roadway or pavement that is finished by a process of compacting into a solid mass a layer of small broken stone on a convex, well-drained roadbed using a binder (something that makes the mass cohesive). This makes the road surface much smoother and safer for driving. Adding tar to macadam makes the surface waterproof as well.

[@DJ15EXY]

quattroporte!? i never knew this is luxury :)). That`s a tractor with a nice name and not a bad shape to be fair, but never ever can be considered luxury

[@Jaytwelveinatruck]

And you will never be considered smart

[@KyrstOak]

Wait, there are different 'styles' of driving? I only know of driving by the law and driving recklessly.

[@iuriveloso636]

You obviously don't have a clue, then.

[@j.m.b5441]

Clients don't watch anything, all they do is look at their phones! Just like everybody else.
