I think that most states in the US should require at least some of the principles in this video as mandatory driver training. The amount of civilian driver on the road that have 0 idea of how to control their vehicles in an emergency situation is insane. There would be considerably less death in motor vehicle accidents with better training. The DMV test are so easy and don't really test you on much. Just parallel parking is a skill that a lot of new drivers aren't properly taught and same with basic reverse driving.

INTHE 90S I LOST A MANCHESTR UK POLICE 3 L FORD CAPRI DRIVING A VAXHAUL CORSO 1.1 WITH 4 OCUPANTS .DICKHEAD COPS CANT DRIVE IN THE UKL. BOOM. BE AUTODIDACTIC

Those poor little Subies.

If 90% of regular drivers had these skills road tolls would be a lot lower. Not enough governments concentrate on driver education like the Nordic countries do. Instead of penalties they should be starting with driver education first.

You can get out of a PIT by driving into the direction they are pushing your car, complete the circle and move on.

Imagine doing it in a tesla without a hand brake clutch gears

There’s a reason I drive a 2004 crown Vic with the popo treatment with less than 100.000 km’s. That thing is a tank with a rocket under the hood.

This video reminds me of my first class driving ability.

No cop could successfully pull a PIT maneuver on this young man!

Would be a lot cooler if he wasn't in the snow

Tires too full is an issue lol, air heats and expands, if you go too high over youre also due for a blowout.

Me wanting to practice these in my RWD no traction control 1996 Ford Explorer

Slim mac demarco

I know all this too, but I grew up in the hood.
Fuq around and find out, a car is the most deadly weapon we can wield.

Ford Crown Victoria "The Best American Car of All Time"

I use the step ons, I use a 10.5 ruler with the special edition mine77 n there's 0 gap in my combo. 🤙🔥🤙🔥

What a cool job to have

"Like swimming with a life jacket on". Brilliant analogy!

Great video!!

A Prius... seriously... that guy would have come to police if he was guilty ... and now in his society he is guilty

Why training for overseas driving with a Ford Crown Victoria?

all easy on automatic gearbox:)

the secret is to play elvis in the bgrnd while watching this

One step of the J turn before turning the wheel is to pop the shifter into neutral to avoid damage to the drivetrain then pop it into D and hit the gas once the car is turned around

Excellent teacher. Broke down complex topics in an easily comprehensible format.

Asalamaleikum ! you drive WRONG CAR, Real Car is BMW Mercedes Audi ! Not japanese junk

The only time I did tactical driving was in GTA 😂😂😂

Blackwater revisited. I honestly think this has to be one of the most important courses Ive ever taken in my life. Cant tell you how many accidents Ive avoided just knowing the fundamentals of how to control a vehicle at high speed.

So impressive in the snow too!

Driver Down in a manual?

Have you seen
"360 Turn with school bus what you see only in Finland"

bro is basically crushing cars for a living...dream job

My friend and I were on a 16 hour delivery when we were in college, and he was driving and got sleepy so he slept in the drivers seat for about 30 miles while I drove. I'm surprised that we are both still here.

man, I've been a pizza delivery guy out in the countryside and this is just our basic toolkit most nights 😎
exept the unconscious guy and maybe the pit manouver (even though I wish I was allowed that sometimes)

oh and because of what he said about ABS: it's true on snow or gravel but on a hard tarmec surface (no matter if dry or soaking) no human being in the world beats even 20 year old ABS systems let alone modern ones. there's been numerous tests and studies with professional racing and rally drivers and the ABS consistenly outperformed the human

What kind of walkie talkies you are using ?

too much talking not enough driving.

Grew up driving and racing rear wheel drive .
Mustangs rock! ✨👍

Seeing that the pit maneuver spins you into a 180 turn I guess do a j turn or high speed reversing

This is basically me doing winter driving growing up. I always loved testing the limits of the car in winter time, and maintaining control in skids, etc. It's something everyone should learn but sadly modern cars prohibit it.

Thanks for sharing some trade secretes!

I am usually able to park straight in my parking space on the third try

i like this minnesota driving guide, its great for the out of stater taters

Many of these I learned for the streets of San Andreas in GTA <3

the scandinavians didn't invent inertia drift or left foot braking, good drivers all over the world just did it becasue it was fast and it worked. no one taught me and i was doing it on dirt roads at 14 years old because it worked and was fast.

But I was on the 405 and saw something I didn't like. Brake lights for miles. So I attempted a J turn and ended up wrecking several cars.

Now try this with a manual stick car with three pedals, that is skills.
Many in USA don't even know how to drive with manual gearbox

Disabling the ABS and traction control on a "modern" (2015) Subaru is still as easy as just pulling one fuse, lol!

actually, to be fair, he's not so wrong about drift when you think of it in a loose ground rally context. on tarmac though, all the performance lies right there at the limit of grip right before you lose traction. that includes tarmac in rally stages. however, if you have to drive at running speed just to maintain traction, then you probably shouldnt. this is why we drift on gravel but grip on tarmac.

and be absolutely careful skidding on compressions with jelly suspension cars. theyll rebound and pop you off the road with no warning. (although maybe not much of a concern with modern stability control but be warned. dont be that guy in the mercedes w123 at the nürburgring.)
