Hi Mick. I just watched a Jeremy Clarkson interview and he said that the way forward for the Grand Tour is young presenters that love cars instead of famous tv celebrities. I immediately thought of you. I have no idea how you'd go about it but if I was you I'd be getting in touch with Jeremy. You would be amazing on that show.

Car enthusiasts of my generation started doing their dift days shortly after getting their drivers license. The morning of first snowfall in winter we would all go straight to the nearest supermarket car park and spend a few hours skidding about with huge smiles on our faces, and as such I have never lost control of a car. Nowadays, supermarket security immediately phones the police 🙄

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.

[@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.

[@matteoposi9583]

While on RWD trail breaking increases the chance over oversteer (if done wrong) can be increadibly iseful for FWD

[@utkn]

It is incredibly useful for both FWD and RWD if done right. Trail braking on FWD also increases the chance of oversteer, that being lift off oversteer.

[@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.

[@broncoxy]

Seen a couple of your videos and I just love the way you look at and approach the whole concept of enjoying the driving experience~

[@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

[@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.

[@Deltaforceoperator992]

[@Cell4TR]

[@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!

[@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

[@potapotapotapotapotapota]

I know driving fast can be a lot of fun, but I never want to do it in my life because there is too much risk. You never know when an animal is going to jump in front of the car leaving you no time to react. But thanks for the tips, I have definitely learned something.

[@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.

[@KazukiAnla]

That actually happened to my father once He used to drive a Volkswagen Mk4 (Front wheel drive(and pretty Slow) and my grandfather let him drive his Mercedes (it's fast and has Rear Wheel Drive) and he went into a Roundabout and put a little too much Throttle on the Pedal

[@nishikhen]

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.

[@MickDrivesCars]

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

[@nishikhen]

@@pippo6582 haha yeah true And I love that often I just see trucks and no cars its overall more chill than other highways.

[@bhizahr]

​​@@MickDrivesCars Too many incompetent drivers who think they can drive properly. The amount of accidents on the autobahn is insane. Driving fast has A LOT more consequences if something goes wrong like a tire burst. All those crashes Arent because ppl wanted to, it's because something unforeseeable happened or the speed difference is too big between cars. Or just sheer incompetence and too much self esteem after watching videos like this😅

Love these vids as always mate. One day you’ll be at 500k subs I guarantee it 👍😊

[@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.

[@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.
