How to be a dynamic driver

driving for higher miles per gallon while not depending on tires to slow down too much (near grip limit) is like relaxed paced endurance racing, avoiding need for pitstops for fuel , tires etc. @@MickDrivesCars

My dad is a textbook example of a dynamic driver, most of the time he's just chilling, always planning ahead, not braking too aggresively, but he can also just absolutely send it on a straight road and have a little fun. Can only hope to become a driver like him

[@CakesAndCandlesj59]

Facts same

[@jpldriver]

Don't use the word hope! It takes,the correct attitude,planning,dedication,and application to be a good driver. Don't hope to be a good driver,work hard and you will be a good driver,have faith in yourself!

[@blixkkydik7592]

You'll probably pick up on it👀🤔

[@peterwood2633]

My dad taught me how to ease off the brake when coming to a stop. People really arent instructed how to drive a car, about weight transfer, grip, when to accelerate for safety as well as brake. You're taught how to stay in some lines and park.

[@notundermywatch3163]

Basically driving schools only teach you how to get from A to B behind a wheel in a safe manner and most people stay at that level. People like us, understand that driving is a skill and also a craft and you can spend a lifetime honing it.

[@Sid3300]

Unfortunately, the way we learn to drive does not include the fast part of being dynamic, only the gentle part. This leads to a lot of drivers that are scared of the throttle and have frustrated cues of traffic behind them.

[@callanc3925]

Where i live some of the gentle parts are even left out. For example, we get taught to never limo stop at stop signs because stopping harshly ensures we wont get failed in our driving test for rolling through the stop sign.

I love your expression: “spirited driving”. To me, spirited or dynamic driving points to a mental state often referred to as presence, or flow or mindfulness…fully involved and ready to react to what arises. My driving has become increasingly spirited since discovering the channel 🙏

[@harryhumphries72]

I’ve started to enjoy managing other drivers. Keeping crawling in traffic instead of going fast then breaking. Leaving a bigger gap to the car ahead if another car is behind me. Stopping more comfortably. Shifting smoother. Becomes a game to how perfect I can be

[@MickDrivesCars]

Oh 100%! I'm actually thinking about making a video about ''controlling other drivers'' along those lines.

I learned about the smooth stop and not feeling the start or end of a corner through Jackie Stewart's book Principles Of Performance Driving. It really took some time and effort to get those things down. Good points about the breadth of serious drivers.

[@TimpBizkit]

I don't want to be scared of speed, but also take my time in town, especially in town where the time saving is not there. Having "headroom" in your technique is valuable, that way you can be driving at 25% ability in total control.

[@PrivateSnafu14]

As someone who maybe drove 2000 km in the past five years I had to drive 1500km in the last two weeks workwise, I appreciate your track day suggestion. Your videos are really helpful for noob drivers.^^

[@leylandlynxvlog]

The limousine stop is how bus drivers are trained to stop (or at least how I was trained). I was told there should be no recoil braking (where the vehicle jerks backwards - as you mentioned - after you stop), as it would send any standing passengers to the floor or out the windscreen. After learning it, I started doing that with my braking in cars too. But as anyone who knows me will tell you I'm very good at full sending it (even perhaps when I shouldn't).

[@teaandmedals]

The dynamic level of my driving is directly proportional to much good sleep I've had. Great video, fist class presentation.

[@sethnary3974]

More people need to watch this, It's alarming how some drivers don't know some of these things. Honestly, I love driving because of this...

[@olympus__]

It also kind of works the other way. I had competed in motorsport two years before I started driving on the road. Once I had passed my test and was able to drive smoothly and carefully, i noticed an improvement in my smoothness and overall times when competing.

[@MickDrivesCars]

Damn. Very interesting... never would have imagined that

[@IamMortui]

Just found out today that I'm a dynamic driver. One moment I'm a hoonigan when I'm alone and no traffic, but when there's traffic, I'm slow and steady.

[@davidhocevar8510]

with manual this gets a whole new level, since you can engine brake, or put it out of gear to roll to stop lights and so on

And I get sooo frustrated when I’m leaving the highway on a long slope and people in front of me use their brakes instead of engine braking. They slow down way too early. I always love when there’s no one in front of me.

[@ronin_boogz]

i've been a tourist driver here in the Philippines for almost a year now, still trying to improve my driving so my passengers can have a better and more comfortable experience with me as their driver, most of the compliments i heard from them is "it didn't feel like a long drive, i slept soundly and didn't feel like im inside a car." i know this ain't good enough yet and i still want to keep improving. This skill is a lot more important than your passenger's comfort and experience, this can also make your car's system such as steering, braking, clutch, transmission, gearbox, underchassis and tires last much longer.

[@ketolcob]

Honestly one of the best and most straightforward videos I've seen on what it means to be a "good" driver. Thanks for this one!

[@burrytellam]

No one taught me "limousine driving/stopping". I observed them and picked up how smoothly they would stop, and now it's a natural behaviour. I love it when I am first to the lights and I'm slowly encroaching the line, and then they change to green and my momentum gives me a smooth off too, leaving the drivers behind me who were too close and had already stopped.

Driving for 1.5yrs (I’m sure there’s more for me to learn). I’ve been driving like this but didn’t know it’s “dynamic” driving. On my drive to work, I encounter different types of roads and adapt my driving style accordingly. Love getting on the dual carriageway and driving spiritedly. I set myself a target of smoothly braking, my instructor said to pretend I had a cup of coffee on the dashboard that I didn’t want to spill.

[@scottmackintosh5934]

That’s a good tip about the coffee however if you ever do make a mistake or someone around you makes a mistake, don’t be afraid to spill that coffee everywhere lol. Better braking too hard than not hard enough.

[@K9V1]

I'm getting close to 1.5 years as well and I feel like this was my driving style from the first time I sat behind the wheel. I'm more on the aggressive side of driving, but not in a way that ever endangers other motorists. Honestly I see myself as a bit of a natural at driving. Before I had ever driven I had a pretty good idea of what it would be like driving, and turns out I was completely right. Even a full year ago you wouldn't have known that I had barely had my license for 4 months. Really not trying to toot my own horn here, I'm only basing this off of what I have seen with other driving school students and other drivers in general.

[@jpldriver]

You have been driving for 1.5 years and think you have more to learn,are you joking? You know absolutely nothing a bout driving,you simply haven't the experience! After 43 years of driving I am still learning,and I used to teach people to drive professionally. In 20 years you may be a good driver,with the correct attitude and experience

[@jpldriver]

​@@K9V1After 1.5 years it sounds you are arrogant You drive aggressively but you think you are not dangerous,well a lot of people think this!

[@K9V1]

@@jpldriver I definitely don’t. I know exactly how to drive lol, it’s as easy as walking. It’s been close to two years now and I can count on both hands how many times someone has honked at me. Never got a ticket, never been in an accident. You just don’t like the fact that someone with less experience can be a better driver. It’s just natural for some people. Every single day I see people making illegal turns, speeding, driving up one-way streets and so on. I don’t do any of that. And that is because I look like whatever you imagine a stereotypical criminal to look like, so I know that I’m much more likely to get pulled over/fined than most other drivers. I take extreme precaution and care when driving so as to *not* get pulled over, again, because I drive a BMW and look like someone who might be a criminal. Just the way things are.

Dynamic driving is something I'm still learning for many years. It was relatively easy to learn how to drive fast. It took a little more experience to learn to drive slow, but smoothly. Now I have to wait until spring with fast driving. It's dark AF most of the time and I can't drive fast when visibility is next to none. Sure, when I can use my high beams I can drive almost as fast as during the day, but when they blind me with lights from the other lane I have to brake and it's jerky driving.

[@MaxCaissie]

[@royliber3824]

I always thought this is the most correct way to drive. Not to drive like a grandma and be afraid of every single vehicle on the road and stopping behind it miles away thinking you're too close, yet not drive like you think you're Vin Diesel and accelerate like a moron every green light you see. There's perfect balance between the two as demonstrated here: you commute with traffic and the road the way you commute with your car. You accelerate good enough to make sure no one cuts you off the road, yet you don't push it too hard and get close to the car infront of you.

I didn't realise the 'limousine stop' was not a thing. I was taught to drive like that. However, having recently bought my first auto, it's actually impossible due to the stop / start system. The engine cuts out before the car has actually stopped, so releasing pressure on the break causes it to start the engine again... which is horrible.

[@MickDrivesCars]

Check out the light at the bottom of the centre stack Start/stop VERY OFF (I do turn it on when there's heavy traffic and I actually want it)

[@LukeSanMartin]

My car does the same thing. I must switch to neutral before the car comes to a complete stop to prevent the engine from starting and jerking me forward when I release pressure from the break pedal, or just disable auto start/stop altogether every time I start the car (it's a Subaru).

[@MickDrivesCars]

I agree a lot with the track day, I did a skill day in IAM in a race circuit, not to speed "race" that is not the idea, only to be out of comfort zone, and learn balance the car and the grip of the car in bends. I overtake a lot drivers without need to go so fast, pure technique in bends, my car was the slowest one LoL, Really worth it and improve your confidence. now dynamic driver. Maybe a good example are the ambulance drivers. in a normal driver will be someone who adapt to the condition of the road and take advantage "the ones who can read the road", it is not like drive all the time same style. "example drive like grand mum in a car parking , in town is what we expected, and more smooth in country road etc. I think you will look more professional when you talk do not move your left hand. and keep them on the steering wheel, etc. your tips are good, You explain indirectly the brake technique "good", the 3 FFF Feel, "brake pads touching the discs", Firm "actually braking smoothly", Fade "like almost stopping in a traffic light. I agree, why brake like maniac in the last moment an why accelerate like crazy in green light.

[@MrTeknown]

Limousine breaking is easier to do on manual transmission than on dry clutch automatic as you need to keep your foot gently on the brake. On a Tesla, with one-pedal driving, you need to keep your foot down on acceleration just lightly until you stop.

[@MickDrivesCars]

100%! I've been experimenting with sticking it into neutral coming up to a stop to nail the limousine stop and it works quite well. Might do a video about it.

[@MrTeknown]

@@MickDrivesCars it took me a couple of weeks to get used to driving smoothly my A6 C6 2.0 tdi multitronic as I've driven not that many automatic transmission vehicles. I had a Tesla Model 3 dual motor for a week and it was nice to drive and easy to learn. On my A6 I need to learn to properly drive fast in sport mode. It is a little bit jerky (250k km with some minor mechanical problems) and I drive it mostly in the drive. Another thing I had to get used to was the delay from the accelerator pedal press and the moment it took off. Also had trouble with the breaking pedal being very sensible compared to my old car. I have driven 12k km so far in half a year from when I bought it and I am still learning. A few weeks ago, I drove my old a4 1.9 TDI manual which was my daily for 10 years and I am much more comfortable both driving fast and slow as I drove it for 200 000km. I know most tricks when it comes to driving, but at the same time, practice makes it perfect. I am constantly aware of my driving testing things out and practicing. Keep up the good work on the channel!

I was blessed with being naturally good at driving, even people that are generally car sick that sit in the same car I drive, completely forget they're in a car, yet at the same time are impressed how fast we got to the destination. I have the talent of somehow driving fast yet smooth at the same time. I somehow always end up being behind generally much faster cars in my 2011 Dacia Logan, and it always baffles me how jerky they brake and how late they pull on the steering wheel going in a corner, and they're somehow still in front of me slowing me down, despite passengers in my car feeling like in a limo.

You would have enjoyed the old Formula Finesse course when it existed. Be very careful transferring from track day to road, as the two environments are so dissimilar. Low grip surfaces, handling courses and similar can offer far more accessible learning for the average road driver.

watching F1 onboards explains all ;)

[@IanMuirhead]

the most true video I've watched

[@thingsandstuff9529]

Brilliantly made videos thank you

[@davuttmusa]

great video man loved it

[@MickDrivesCars]

Legend!

[@CuoreSportivo]

i am one of the early subs, why? because i don't see why on earth you'd see one of these videos and not INSTANT SUB you know. come on guys? do you really like driving or not?

[@MickDrivesCars]

Tell em!

[@Mattey1]

Had to double take at the start, I know that place! Some fun roads around much wenlock too.

[@MickDrivesCars]

Haha :) I'll have a look on google maps. Hit me up on insta if you want to go for a drive someday

[@Mattey1]

@@MickDrivesCars That would be cool, I don't use insta though :)

[@SH0RTZTUB3]

All this advice is great but can I trust someone who’s driving on the wrong side of the road?

[@F1L337]

Its always crazy that ppl get scared when i drive my 4/10. Its a sporty safe place where nothing can happen espacially with passengers. 6/10 and upwards is reserved for me only.

[@MickDrivesCars]

This so much! My 4/10 will have passengers going ''slow down'' and I'm like... I'm doing 60 in a 60 dude what?

[@G0rno]

Finally I found some that drives like me

[@omerfarukseckin]

i think being gentle in automatic cars is easier than manual cars you should make video about being gentle in manual cars

[@Ghost10Bxl]

Another great video, I wanted to ask what kind of courses have you done to become a driver like yourself? Different track days, courses etc? I want to learn everything you know

[@MickDrivesCars]

Thank you! I've done a few trackdays, I started the official institute of advanced motorists course but never finished it as it was exceptionally boring (I know, I know... I should really finish it) Really most of my knowledge came from having a series of massive motorcycle accidents and wanting to improve my driving. So I watched a lot of youtube, read a lot of books and used a lot of common sense.

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast 😎

The amount of people on the road who have never taken their car to redline or pushed the gas pedal all the way to the floor is probably higher than you'd think. Everyone who owns a car should try it at least once so you know how the car is going to behave and what it can do for you when you need the power... *COUGH*mergingonthehighway*COUGH* Your engine was designed to operate through the whole rev range, so use the whole rev range (if you need it)

[@johncookson4117]

I like your content so far Mick, what I've seen of it. As an ADI, I agree with your assessment that you need to be really good at driving slowly, considerately and with precision before driving in a more spirited fashion. However, I'd really caution against your language here; 'aggressive driving' is not something that should EVER be seen on a public road. I teach 'progressive' driving by default, which means driving to the speed limit where suitable, depending on conditions and ability. This has to be paired with 'defensive' driving, which is often misunderstood. It should be driving in a manner which avoids danger by constantly anticipating other road users, changes in road conditions/camber bends etc. BUT also recognizing your own limitations and not putting yourself into situations you're simply can't cope with.

[@LukasMajicius-re4cq]

When I see 5, 6.. cars ahead, with 0.2 sec between them, I call it 'a little train', and I have no other option than leave a gap, and put a transmission in a lower gear (better for keeping distance and quicker stop if needed). For all cost I want to avoid a posible domino crash.

[@dylandetaeye]

Well, my dad is a dynamic driver, my mom isn't. If my mom would send her car (that's verry great in corners), she would crash. My dad ltherwice can send his car and my mom's car verry good, but he can also be gentle and be a normal driver. I love it

[@1whospeaks]

I do have to say, in the West, this applies. But in the rest of the world, opportunistic is the better word. If youre the opposite, hesitant, you could end up seriously injuring someone, or waiting at a roundabout for 6 years.
