If you don’t know how to recover from the oversteer

[@shred1894]

Oversteer is best because if you know how to deal with it you actually can, where with understeer you have less room to correct it. At least in my opinion. I once hit a sweeping left turn that had a slight crest in the middle, I was going the speed limit (35 mph), but the lift from the crest caused the front wheels to lose grip and it understeered straight off the road and into a pole. Admittedly I hadn't gotten the new tires I wanted to get at that point, but the understeer was basically uncorrectable since the stopping distance in grass/dirt is bad because of the ABS not letting the wheels lock up. Oversteer is easier to correct because you can let off the gas and point the car in the direction you want to go, as opposed to just going straight until you either grip up or hit something with understeer.

Car enthusiasts of my generation started doing their dift days shortly after getting their drivers license.

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.

[@besknighter]

I once was driving through a corner and suddenly I understeered due to an oil+water puddle I did not see in time. I had no experience with that and turned my wheel even more. Suddenly I got traction and oversteered, which I overcorrected a bit and now was driving with the other side going forward. It was perfectly salvageable (I had time and road for that) if I had experience, which was not the case. Thankfully, I lost enough speed to the point that the only damage was when I hit the curb leaving the road and the two front wheels got a little bent and their tires got punctured. I learned so much since then. And go-karting was one of my teachers.

[@shred1894]

I had a similar situation on a sweeping corner with a slight crest except I went off the road and into a pole. If I hadn't just been screwed over by my (now ex) girlfriend I would have been able to buy the new tires I wanted to get, but unfortunately between old tires and anti-lock brakes making stopping on dirt worse, my 2006 Pontiac Solstice 5 speed was totaled.

[@tboneisgaming]

If you are going for a drive on country lanes, ensure your tyres are at the correct pressure. Understeer or oversteer can occur on wet, icy or slippery surfaces. I disagree with Mick about driving quickly at sunset or learning oversteer/understeer on car park at night. This is because the sun will blind you either from the front, side of rear. It's the same thing not long after dawn. You need to be careful of hazards, particularly junctions, either marked or not. You could have a tractor or other agricultural vehicle emerge from a farm track. If you really want to learn about understeer or oversteer, go on a track day. A car park at night has various pieces of road furniture which you can hit when you loose control. Not to mention speed bumps.

[@VBMichael_D]

The vast majority of you need to learn how to read the road; IMO, that's the cause of 90% of crashes. The other 10% is the Dunning-Kruger effect behind the wheel.

[@asher_1256]

It's funny, i kinda used all of those tips since i passed my driver's exam and got myself a "go-cart" yaris gr sport except obd ofc. It was like i knew already about those things from previous life or something lol. Driving felt natural to me and only thing that I was worried about was beaking manual transmission since I was not confident with it at that time so I got myself a car with automatic transmission. Somehow driving a manual began to get easier for me after gaining some expierience with automatic (Idk how but it just worked for me). I got most of my driving expierience from night "car meets" where I learned how my car behaves. Btw, in the place where I live there is literally none racing tracks nearby and its kinda expensive to even get a permit from owners to drive on them and the only racing track that was in my city was closed and bought by some investors that are doing nothing with this place since gaining ownership. That's also the reason why people moved to the streets to race. Personally, I would add a tip to this list that says something about knowing your car limits. It saved me from few crashes and since gaining my licence i've never been in accident. I only damaged my car from my stupidity like scratching a car in the night from something sticking out of the ground that was barley visible due to bad conditions or passing out and damaging the rim when driving and hitting the curb while being tired. Don't drive when being tired. Get a coffee or some rest. Know your limits like you know the limits of your car.

[@trevor6814]

1:08 contrary to your recommendation I would highly recommend first practicing trail braking on harder tires. All good tires will do when learning to rotate the vehicle is make everything happen quicker and at a higher speed regarding reading roads - I believe Team O’Neil has a fantastic video on the topic that covers the topic in a much more comprehensive manner although the “point distance” is a good tip. Otherwise great video!

[@runningriot7963]

About the powerband, especially for manual cars I recommend you google the torque and horsepower curve of your car. I found out that my car peaks at 4k rpm and tapers off at 6k. Knowing this gives me a slightly deeper understanding of my car and I know exactly how to work the power band for maximum efficiency.

[@Botta928]

My dad taught to always drive in the highest gear possible, since it is fuel efficient, and since I drive a diesel car it's very easy to lay on forth gear on most of the roads (I live in Italy). But sometimes I look at the RPM and man, they are always so low, and if I floor it the car just can't make power with such low RPMs... Your videos are awesome btw

[@Its_Hunted]

I wish I would’ve watched the first 20 seconds on this video 2 weeks ago. I practiced trail braking on a canyon road after getting a set of brand new tires and a big rear sway bar… almost killed myself. Shit is no joke the oversteer is insane.

Hey Mick, what do you think about the autobahn? I've seen a lot of people try to drive too fast in a cheap car.

I think it's the perfect system for motorways and more countries should learn from the Germans. Even in cheap/slow cars, they usually stop much faster than they accelerate so it's probably fine.

[@pippo6582]

I personally love the autobahn. Its not about driving Vmax all the time, but being able to do so. sometimes you just feel like flooring the pedal and in contrast to what you said i really enjoy driving fast in straight lines. theres just this feeling about flying past the others at 220kph, even in my 2007 140hp opel astra haha my dream is to sometime in the future drive a sports car to go over 300kph myself; I was passenger once and it was incredible

[@richtame2501]

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 ❤️

[@tougeadventures2076]

I'll add another helpful tip, be careful of the lines on the road. They tend to be very slippery in the cold and wet. I've personally lost grip while accelerating on yellow lines. Its very common in the US since they use double yellow lines. Aslo beware of how much thr cat-eyes will throw off your car

For the reading the corner tip, is it the two road edges on the outside, or the inside edge with the center line?

[@jeremygilmore3208]

The former works

[@s4lvin989]

You said that putting more weight on the front causes more likely understeering, but it seems conterintuitive to me (i'm not saying it's wrong, i only have experience with motorcycles), since for example in motorcycling, you trail brake to load the front tire to have more grip and go in the corner faster, why this differs in cars?

[@GooberProject]

Less weight is over the front tyre? Complete guess someone pls inform us 😂

[@MickDrivesCars]

Love this question! It's very similar to bikes. You gain grip... up to a point. Just like on a bike loading the front will progressively give you more grip until you go 1% too far and you lowside. It's the same in cars but you understeer when you go 1% too far. (There are some differences because of 4 wheels and anti-roll bar but it's largely similar)

[@TunaIRL]

it's not different in cars per-se. While turning and trail braking, either can happen based on car setup and driver input. Oversteer is possible due to the rear wheels losing grip while the weight is shifted to the front tyres. Understeer can happen with forward biased brakes, and too hard application, causing the wheels to simply lose grip as well. (I believe) Road cars are usually setup to understeer in most situations, as it's more intuitive for even an inexperienced driver to control. Race cars are usually tuned to get a controlled amount of oversteer to get rotation around a corner quick, through braking and suspension setup.

[@YoRHaUnit2Babe]

that understeering works same same as flying an unstable aircraft like the F16 at lower speeds, perhaps it's called oversteering. all because said user most probably didn't keep His or Her speed up in a turn, so the aircraft starts to rotate beyond the point where You want to point the nose. this just happens because there just isn't enough air to keep the center of lift stronger than the center of mass infront of it.

[@stale.baguette]

You know, i think a good video to make could be “What to do if you get in a crash”

[@Ccristoff]

I do the first one to break the back loose on roundabouts, and since i drive a truck it’s works a little too well sometimes

[@TimpBizkit]

I would like having the torque gauge as I tend to change gear based on available torque more than I do on rpm or road speed. If the torque (for the amount of power I need) is nearing the top of the gauge, I change down. If I'm only using a tiny bit of max torque, I shift up (assuming the rpm isn't like 1000 or something). On my car I just have rpm, but the actual rpm before a gear change can be as little as 1500 or as high as the rev limiter depending on the situation, but maxing out on torque limits the power until the rpm can climb (and also not fuel efficient if it runs rich to force a higher gear), but not being high in torque if the revs are at least moderate, and the car would use less fuel in a higher gear instead of empty revs, unless you're getting ready to pounce. The accelerator pedal position is a very rough torque estimate, also instantaneous mpg, which dips with more torque, but these, or how loud the engine is, is not as precise.
