Great video. I would like to add another point - Keep on top of the maintenance, make sure all your lights work, brake pads are good, tyre pressures are correct. Even something as trivial as no washer fluid can be a nuisance when you’re driving and need to clear the windscreen. Stay safe(relevant) and have fun ppl

Good video, and you drive a similar car to myself. I love having an enthusiastic drive, out in the countryside, in my remapped M140i, it's one of the few pleasures in life left. Unfortunately, 99% of people on the roads just assume anyone who wants to actually enjoy driving a performance car as it should be driven, is automatically an idiot, a thug, and careless.

Nik Gnashers the reason many have that attitude towards it is because quite a few people who go out for a spirited drive with no advanced training take an a bullying kind of attitude and driving up close behind others trying to push them on. We’ve got to realise when we go out driving quick that others may be out that for a slow trundle along to View the scenery which is also allowed and perfectly legal. Some turn into bullies and this spoils the perception for all. I’m not saying your like that by the way I don’t know you, I’m just saying I can understand the reason people think what you say.

@@richardnicholson3912 Yes that is a very good comment. I'm 51 years old, and have learned through years of professional driving (taxi's, vans, 7.5t lorries), how to drive properly, looking as far ahead as possible to give you the most time to react to any hazzards etc. Around town, I have other cars stuck to my rear bumper because I drive too slow for them (I have always said a speed limit is just that, a limit, not a target, and even 30mph is too fast in some situations). I live in Lincolnshire, quite a large county with lots of countryside, so fortunately I can enjoy driving still, without annoying anyone else. There are plenty of twisty, undulating roads over the Wolds (hilly area) in Lincolnshire, so some very enjoyable corners without breaking any NSL's. To hoon down a straight road 100+ mph is neither much fun, nor requires any skill, especially in a modern car. Yet the said 'hoon' in question, even though it seems so easy and relaxed, could be a massive danger if there are junctions off the road where other traffic join and mis-judge the speed you are carrying, obviously not their fault in any way. So yes, I prefer challenging, twisty, undulating, rally-stage type country roads, so long as there is good visibility around corners, and you can feel the car moving around underneath you without surprising other traffic coming around a blind corner towards you.

@@nessuno5403 Yes I agree. And nowhere in any of my comments did I imply the M140i is anywhere close to an M2 for dynamics. My car couldn't live with an M2 round the twisty's without some serious money spend on handling mods. But, my car costs half the price of an OG M2, let alone an M2C, and for the money it's a great car, and with my mods, it still only costs half the price, yet will destroy an M2, and just about beat an M2C in a lot of situations. I'd love an M2C though, they are brilliant cars, but out of my price range.

I have a Mercedes SLK and a 16 year old Grandson who would love to drive it !!!!! After almost 60 years of driving, I have pretty much learned all the tips you give but you do explain them very well. The one I really think every driver needs to learn and remember is your advice on cornering - what is around that bend ? You can't see around a corner, you do not know what's around that corner - is there an idiot coming towards you at high speed and who is more in your lane than he / she should be ?? Yes driving fast is a lot of fun, but just do it safely.

Smooth inputs are important but at @4:13 one of those cars in the layby could have rolled/been driven out onto the road; the red car would steer across towards you either: 1. causing a collision 2. forcing your sustained presence on the wrong side of the road 3. forcing you to slam the breaks on. Best attitude is that everything/everyone is a potential hazard; disregard other road users indications (would you put your life on whether they hit the indicator stalk by accident or not?) look both ways when crossing a single carriageway (who says there won't be a foreign driver or police chase coming the wrong way?)

Very good. When one gets used to looking ahead and learns what that feels like, it tends to be quite easy to notice when others are not. This becomes even more obvious when riding with someone who isn't as talented as yourself. This looking forward also allows you to feel more of what the vehicle is doing, especially while driving quickly.

I mean even from the outset of me learning to drive I was looking as far ahead as I could, and I can't fathom why anyone wouldn't. Sure, even a couple years later and after passing my IAM, I do find I sometimes miss stuff much closer, especially in urban environments, but as with everything in life, it is good to be informed, so if I am talking to my fellow youths, I always emphasise the importance of looking as far ahead as you can

I have been for the most part turned off of street racing because of bad attitude and lack of control on other drivers' part. There are incredibly immature people on the road who will take it as a personal affront to be overtaken and will do anything, including risk their life and that of others, to win a street race. Zero control, zero wit, zero intelligence, just all compulsion and aggression. That's a recipe for disaster. Either way, valuable tips, sir. Great to see someone learning the same lessons through experience, and sharing them.

#6 Seating position! So many people have their seats in funky position that aren't ideal for driving quickly and controlling then car. A gangster lean for example. #7 tire pressure. Have a proper tire pressure will improve the cars performance, exceleration, handling, and braking. It's usually NOT the recommended pressure on the door that will be best for spirited driving. Experiment with pressures to find what is best for your tire, and the what the temps WILL BE when the driving takes place.

This is a good question. You say, as do all of the driving authorities that one should be able to stop in the distance that one can see to be clear and on ones side of the road. So that basically supports the 2 second rule or more than the 2 second rule or merely the 2 second rule if you learn with RoSPA. However it appears that there are times when we can forget the 2 second rule. That is on each and every occasion that we are following another vehicle and intend to overtake it. Under those rules, practises or procedures say that its ok to pull up closer than the 2 second rule in order to initiate and execute an overtake if one is on. For that purpose one is in the so called contact position and that to many is recommended as being just one second behind the vehicle in front. Surely that contact distance behind being only 1 second behind the vehicle to be overtaken can never be considered to be the safe stopping distance in "the distance that one can see to be clear" and able to stop in. Obviously if that vehicle came to a sudden and unexpected and immediate halt then its definitely not safe space to be that close to it. When doing 50 or 60 mph one is travelling at 75 to 90 ft per sec [ approx ] and to be only 1 second behind is surely too close to guarantee stopping in as and when that's the only distance that one can see to be clear. Whats your take on that?

Another nice video Reg and thanks for posting. However, around the 9 minute mark I think you were offside for far too long after overtaking and before returning to the left lane - you’d overtaken the car by some seconds and there was nothing to be gained for visibility or smoothness by staying out quite so long. Assuming you were travelling at 70mph approaching the corner you started to resume the left lane with about 1.5 secs before the corner visibility opened, so about 50m away. Imagine what would happen if the other on-coming Reg approached at 70mph to find you on his side of the road, or what about an on-coming motorbike at 110mph? It may be that your camera view distorts the image some what, but with it having a wide-angle lens it makes things appear further away than they really are not closer so I don’t think it’s that.

Basically...signals are for other people and signs and paint on the road are for the driver. An advanced driver is always aware of their surroundings and would instantly know if anyone could benefit from a signal prior to any manoeuvre. It is worth noting that your position is also a signal to other road users of your intentions such as positioning for a view

Personally I don't quite get that part of advanced driving/riding either: yep, signaling are for other people, but the base premise of advanced driving is that people are people and tend to make mistakes. That's why we stay in other people's blind zones as less as possible, that's why we always anticipate that someone might not detect our vehicle despite having a view and pull out in front of us etc. And that "there's no need to signal if there's no one to see" is kinda hypocritical to me since it comes from the perspective that advanced drivers can't make mistakes. Because otherwise, if advanced driver can make mistake, then there's possibility that he could've missed someone and then signaling would be beneficial for that person to have more chances to correct said advanced driver's mistake. But what I've often saw is an advice to not signal if there's no one to benefit from it. But as a human being can I ever be truly sure that there's no one around I've missed? I've personally came to the solution that I signal anyway. It keeps my maneuvers consistent no matter if there's someone around and give chances to people I might have potentially missed better understanding of what I'm doing. IMO, there's no harm in signaling on an almost empty road, but there's huge benefit in the unlikely case an experienced driver have missed other vehicle benefiting from that signaling.

@@adrianalexandrov7730 Extremely sensible viewpoint. Signalling costs nothing, while causing an accident by failing to signal will be very costly. You should only ever not signal if certain nobody can benefit at any point during your manoeuvre, and that includes pedestrians with their back to you, blind junctions where approaching cars may be obscured etc. I always indicate when overtaking a car since the slower driver may actually be using their mirrors. "Give Information" is what the textbook says!

*Why is this kind of knowledge not shared in driving schools. They always just teach you to drive slow. Slow here, slow there. Everything slow. They put this false sense of associating with slow = safe, fast = dangerous. People get scared to drive above the speed limit because that's how they're being trained to drive.*

How can you possibly be driving safely if you go faster than the number that was arbitrarily chosen for the entire stretch of road for all weather and traffic conditions?

Because people who don't know car control or how to drive see everything as dangerous and have no idea because they can't do it themselves. You'll be surprised at the amount of control you can have and what you can actually do with a car

EngineerNev ..If you train your eyes and brain to look for colours and movement 360 degrees around your vehicle then you will automatically see the hazards at an early stage giving you time to formulate a safe plan. Which is basically advanced observations. You are technically looking into the future of what is likely to happen. By identifying movement you will then see a child’s bike, a tractor in a field driving towards a road gate, someone reversing etc, etc...the list is endless. By identifying colours you will see cyclists in bright colours, road signs, cycle routes , danger of animals crossing etc,etc. By doing this your brain will then produce its own spider graph and give you problems and safe solutions immediately. E.g: Your driving along and because of your advanced observations you identify a tiny blue sign on a finger post in the distance. You know from experience its most likely to be a cycle route direction sign. Your brain will then automatically produce a spider graph of problems ....expect leisure cyclists, families with young children, vulnerable cyclists, where could they come from, going? Your brain will also automatically produce solutions based upon what information you have, time of year, weather conditions, other road users, forward view etc. An experienced advanced driver is doing this sub consciously all of the time. Hence seeing a cyclist at a very early stage becomes your normal observations in time. Give it a go...try scanning for movement and colours and see if this assists with observations and hazard perception 👍

Those roads are lovely, and it seems that cars aren't following each other closely So. you can pass them smoothly and quickly, one at a time. Here in New Zealand we also have many lovely roads, but very often I'll catch up with little queues of cars - 3 or 4, and all following within a second of the car in front. So, if I'm chosing to go faster than the speed limit, I have to choose to go much faster, to pass several cars safely in the space available. I don't always feel comfortable about that as if you get nicked at more than 40kph over the limit you lose your licence for 6 months and your car for a month. What is your advice for passing multiple vehicles safely and quickly? Without going outragously fast.

I did notice that at around 2m40 or so you passed a cyclist rather more closely than the 1.5m required and, at the speed you were travelling that pass would have been disturbing to the cyclist.

See, I wouldn't have pass the red car at 4:13 because of the parked cars on the left, especially because of the white car presence. You are hidden from those people on the curb, and they might try to run the red car for crossing the road, only to be surprised by a speeding BMW. Why would they cross ? You don't know, there might be an emergency for them, thing is, you have NO CONTROL, there is loose people walking around, not trapped in a steel cage called a car. I would have at least slowed down at the red car speed, because if any pedestrian was trying to pass, they would have guess they have time before this car.

Good sound advice. At first I was like 'yes, seems interesting' after 25 seconds I was like 'okay, its a bit samey but I'll keep watching, might learn something'. After 45 seconds I was like 'huh..wha..? Then got bored and went to bed.
