3 things you don't understand about braking 

“It's amazing how many drivers, even at the Formula 1 level, think that the brakes are for slowing the car down” -Mario Andretti

there are sooo many people that drive for years and don't know these tips, this man right here is doing god's work

Trail braking is just a thing I did intuitively, it just felt right. Didn't know it was a named technique.

As a person who got their license a year ago I’m always watching videos to help improve my driving. Many people I know think I’ve learned very quickly for how long I’ve been driving and I have this man to thank for that.

On the road, tip 2 has also another side: learning to lift gradually before coming to a complete stop. That way it feels as smooth as can be for the passengers. My gf doesn’t like me squeezing the brakes and lifting slowly, because even if I have a 2 or 3 second distance between me and the car in front, as she doesn’t feel any g-forces she is afraid I’m not braking at all. Also, as a caveat to tip 1: I use engine braking a lot but sometimes will tap my brake pedal a few times anyway because people behind you on their phone watch for braking lights to light up, so if you’re engine braking all the time they might plow into the back of your vehicle.

A lot of drivers don't even know how to apply tip one. They actually will drive fast until right behind a car ahead. Tailgaters they're called. Maybe it's a psychological thing.

Driving is just a game where you have to be focused af on everything and everyone and where you have to predict everything and hit the perfect timings..

I've been driving for 55 years and the one thing I've learned the most about driving is to not focus on the pavement directly in front of you but as far up the street as safely possible. By doing this you aren't constantly on the brakes unless you have traffic in front of you. It makes me mad when someone in front of me is driving 10 or 15 under the limit and constantly braking when it's not necessary. Most of these things taught here I've been doing since I was around 20 years old. Back in the early 70's I did a lot of street racing but it was always done on highways. In those 55 years I've never had an accident that was my fault. The 2 or 3 I have been in where from other drivers not paying attention to operating a motor vehicle.

Back in the early 90s (when I was a much younger man 🤣) I had a job that meant driving about 30,000 miles a year. A lot of the journeys were on UK motorways, and one of my [much older] colleagues was an 'advanced' driver. So he used to set up silly games for us to while away the boring miles - one of those games being "try and do the whole journey without touching the brakes". The challenge was usually set down for 2-300 mile journeys. I managed Penzance to the Midlands once, without touching the brakes. It was a tremendously useful learning experience. By the way, 'displaying' trail braking is much easier if you have telemetry. It looks like a triangle, with the left side almost vertical, then the right side sloping down at roughly 45º. Like a cartoon cheese wedge, if you like 🤣 Once people can 'see' how one 'bleeds off' the braking pressure, it makes a little more sense (without IRL car telemetry you can always demo it in a sim). Fundamentally what you're trying to do is keep weight on the nose of the car, to ensure the steering works most effectively (and it's the ONLY way to drive a Porsche 911 effectively 🤣). But as you rightly point out, you have to be careful with it. You can set up a 'rotation' if you lift out of the brake too fast (which is why your 'squeezing the brake' tip is so valid, in reverse). There's another fun exercise to try - when braking for traffic lights, try to get the car to come to a smooth stop, without any 'pop' at the end. It requires 'coming out of the brake' in the same way you went into it. If you're squeezing steadily, you need to 'trail' back out of it in a similarly smooth way. Loving all these short films Mick, keep up the cracking work!

Learning to trail brake on the bike has made all the difference for me in tight corners. Going into them whilst already on the brakes (having pre-loaded the front a good bit) means that if I need to slow down that extra bit more I can just add a bit of pressure (or stay on the brakes longer) as I turn in. It also helps get the most grip out of the front tyre. Even just in general, turning in while still carrying some brake pressure feels incredibly controlled and confidence-inspiring. I would add though, you also shouldn't just jump off the pedal, for the same reason you don't jump on it. Unloading the front that quickly can unsettle your suspension pretty badly and send you sliding.

another addition to the squeezing is at a traffic light. A lot of people slow down towards the stop line and then in the last bit of motion press the pedal, which leads to everybody getting pushed forward. You can also plan ahead and right before the line and stopping, let go of the break for a moment, and let the car do the rest of stopping, then press the break again. It just makes it way smoother

"Lift the gas pedal" is the first step to hazard perception in the Netherlands. Whenever you perceive that a potential hazard is approaching (say, a car on the highway is changing lanes and cuts into your 2-second following distance), you're supposed to get off the gas. Positively and noticeably take your foot away from the gas pedal. When a hazard is imminent (collision unavoidable unless you stop right now), you brake. A slightly advanced technique is downshifting to increase the amount of deceleration you get. It's "slightly advanced" because it requires you match up your engine RPM to the speed of the gear you'll be in. Note: swerving and changing lanes are not appropriate evasion techniques - there's not that many drivers out there that actually have the situational awareness to do emergency lane change / swerve in a way that doesn't endanger others.

Interesting that I basically was always using tips 1 and 2 from the very beginning of my driving experience, but I must say that these things were indirectly explained in theory lessons and also briefly reminded to me by my driving instructor when I was a learner, so I just settled with these things in mind for the rest of my driving. Surprised how many people tend to forget or just don't care about what they taught you in a driving school. Hell, I even one time faced a guy who said "Driving school teaches you nothing, you're just an idiot for thinking you know something when I have 15+ years of experience and you just got your license". This conversation was precisely about handling the car, rather than knowing the laws. Pure gold.

Best way I’ve heard trail braking described - your tires at any point i time have UP TO 100% grip available, which is distributed simultaneously across accelerating, braking and cornering. When driving fast you want to utilise as close to 100% of the available grip wherever possible (very dangerous to drive on the edge like this when on public roads I will add!). This is because as soon as you exceed 100% grip, your wheels have nothing left to give and this is how you lose traction. For trail braking we’re only interested in distributing our grip against braking and cornering. As you approach a corner you want 100% grip dedicated to braking (this can only be done whilst you are in a straight line). As soon as you begin to turn, some of that grip is now required for cornering, so you must smoothly ease off the brake and simultaneously transition your grip into cornering. Doing this smoothly will keep the car balanced and allow you to maintain full 100% usage of the available grip during the transition - e.g: when you’ve got 40% grip for braking, you want 60% grip on cornering (if you’re only using 40% for braking and 30% for cornering, you’re only using 70% of the available grip which costs you speed and time). As you turn more, you ease off the brakes until there is now no brake pressure and 100% of grip is now going into cornering. You then reverse the transition from 100% cornering into 100% accelerating as you pull out of the corner. In short, it is a technique to ensure that 100% of the grip available is being utilised at all times. Now take a shot every time I said “100%” 😂

I have been driving since last year, and the first thing I learned was heel-toe shifting and rev matching. After 2 months, I became consistent even in heavy traffic, and I fell in love with this driving style. This gave me excellent driving skills, and after a while, I was able to predict every corner, RPM, car, and pedestrian. I rarely use my brakes now, and I notice that they wear them after 15k or 20k kilometers. My clutch, transmission, and engine are in great shape, too. I realize most of the drivers dont even do that, and they drive very terrible. Some of them are putting other in risk because of it

Regarding the "Don't brake" tip, one could argue that a light pressure on the brakes (for the sake of turning on your brake lights) could help the drivers behind you who may not see the obstacle or the curving road in front of you to deaccelerate, effectively creating a feedback loop among drivers. But if you're not braking and slowing down without turning on your brake lights, I don't think the driver behind you would have much incentive to deaccelerate.

I didn’t know tail braking was a thing. I thought it was no biggie until you pointed it out. It just feels natural to do so. There is so much a person can learn through racing events. Shout out from Puerto Rico!

Half a century ago, when we had Driver's Ed in high school, we were constantly reminded to look ahead, drive ahead. That lets you do the slowing down by letting off the gas (and getting that infinite mpg). You can spot the people who are not. They include the folks sitting on your bumper as you approach a long line of stopped cars (traffic light, etc). In no Universe will these stopped lines of cars instantly resume the prevailing limit. Note of caution: I'm not always confident that a vehicle behind me is dialed into my reduced speed if I don't hit enough brake pedal to activate brake lights.

Squeezing the brake is how I learned it in French driving lessons! Great explanation, very similar to what my teacher taught me!

Just been watching all of your videos and loving them, so pleased to see a new video pop up while watching this Sunday night! I'm coming over from driving stick and want to learn to drive automatic/automanual as effectively as possible on track, but learning so much about how to drive well and its a joy. Keep up the great work!

I didn't know I was trail braking all these years! It just felt like the right thing to do as the car felt much more stable and in control this way.

Great Video. Most people on the motorway are terrible at braking and don't understand about lifting off and planning ahead. I do some trail braking on country roads when safe, but definitely seen the effect when a corner tightened more than I thought

You seemed to explain trail breaking as a method of only slowing down while turning through the whole of the corner but I was under the impression you do a normal break on the straightaway and then partly into the corner and while steering through the corner you ease off the breaks to help the tires reach their traction limit then unwind out the corner with gradual acceleration

One underrated point about this is that braking too quickly or even at all (in the case of tip 1) is what causes traffic to accumulate. Everyone needs to know these basic things.

I wish that people would understand that you dont need all the braking at all time. It's similar to point 2, yes use the break progressively, but use only as much of it as needed. I've been in plenty of situations where just a dab on the brake pedal is enough, just get that bite, hold a second to settle and off it and onto gas. Or to bite point, add a tiny bit more and then off and onto gas. Like trail breaking but in reverse, where trail braking is being in the corner on breaks and let out as you get to the apex, this is on it add only whats needed and let off when you dont need it any more. Think of it as a fix for misjudging engine braking, you tried engine braking, but tried it a bit too late, so you get just the tiniest bit of breaking for that last bit, but sometimes you only need that tiniest bit and engine breaking.

Totally relate to the planning ahead thing! Another fun game is if you're wanting to make quick progress and you're able to see green lights in the distance that you just KNOW are likely to change, you actually ease off a bit. If you time it right you can zoom past all the late brakers who are now just moving off again as the lights go back to green (and you can get your foot down again) because they wrongly assumed you were dawdling 😊 Can of worms the last one. Lots of potential to make people who do it badly think they've been right all along. I mean, take a corner too fast and you might just about manage to get round it (we'll imagine the car doesn't have ESP). Hit the brakes mid corner and you're coming off. I know the above scenario ain't the same thing before people point it out to me, but the issue is that for me any braking in a corner, on a standard road as opposed to a track, just doesn't compute!

inherited my dads car and just learning driving again.. helping me test limits and important skills to increase confidence and safety. thanks a bunch

Can I just say, I love your channel! I’m kinda new to driving (and i’m from the US) and your tips helped a lot in just becoming a smoother, more educated, proactive driver!

The way I think of trail braking is say you have maximum 100% grip, that is shared between braking and turning, if you are at 100% breaking then you can't turn or you'll loose grip, and if you're at 100% turning you can't brake or you'll also loose grip. So you have to balance the two so when you're at say 60% braking you can use 40% of your grip on turning. But if you go over 100% and break that limit of grip you'll either understeer at corner entry, or loose the rear mid corner.

What...? Really? Who doesn't know these things? All of you in the comments impressed by this? Not to be negative but I expected something advanced from the title of the video, not something so basic.

I love how I already understand and do the first 2 tips. (I've only been driving for about a year)

i have watched a few of your videos now, its mental that you often drive my commute to work lol!

1:37 If you have a fuel inyected car/motorcycle. You still safe fuel on carburated engines because you don't have to accelerate as much to get back to speed, like in the last example you used in the first part.

This is interesting to watch I did all of this already. This was the way my grandmother thought me how to drive. Well that was 20 years ago and she’s pushing 80 now. Doing this I made my brakes last to 92k, and 102k in the back drum brakes.

When i pretty new to driving and i took my dad corolla which i used to drive, unfortunately not an ae86 corolla....a 2017 corolla, for spin in the mountains. I learnt was brake fade was that being able to stop was the most important thing. Later i got my own 2017 civic si and started autocrossing and braking has always been the most important tool

Trail and left foot braking have changed and improved my car control over the last 10 years ago. Left foot braking took quite a while to develop but it is worth the effort once you get the hang of it. Makes the car more controllable and stable.

Sick video. Thanks!

Great video, again good advice, I use trail breaking all the time, it’s very useful in a 911 a with the rear engine. Left foot breaking is also useful for stopping washout in a corner.

I don’t get the point of this video: the first two tips are good habits when driving on public roads, but the third one is for racing 😂

Tip #1 is my fav. I could even use it as a reason why one is a bad driver - overbraking. I cant be more puzzled why ppl dont try to look further ahead in traffic and try to smoothen it out, instead they make it worse by interupting the flow by touching the brakes. They see stop lights and they slam on the brakes.. a few overbrakers in a row may even lead to a complete stand still. It is so often that i am driving in congested traffic - car in front brakes 10-20 times for 2km stretch I brake 0 times.. I try to look through both windows of the car in front if possible to account for the distance they maintain with the car in front of them. If too short I expect the car in front to brake more often , so i let more distance so i can slow down gradually. You can even anticipate the moment they hit the gas so you can get quite close without touching the brakes...ahh I dream for the moment when AI will become advanced enough that 90% of cars on the roads are ai driven. I am sure it would be more safe and efficient. Cars would "talk" to one another, give way to one another so smooth, so close. They would maintain shorter distances because everyone would be perfectly predictable and no one would overbrake or do crazy stuff...ahh.. just imagine

Motorcycle riders know not PUSH the brake

Excellent video and excellent review of the camera, I've been thinking about getting a new one for my channel for a long time, but I don't really know what they are, but I realized something through the video and I will change the current one..

I was taught to stop well first and how to use engine braking. It is however important to communicate your intentions to other road users. I recall the famous quote from Porsche about being able to stop faster from 60 than get to 60.

When I first started driving the first thing I noticed was the cars shift in weight when using the pedals. I always made sure to squeeze the brakes just starting out because I hated to upset the balance of the car. I also realized that I naturally trail brake. I've always turned late and applied brakes late but let off slowly coming out. It just made the most sense to me knowing nothing about abs or anything. I didn't even know you were supposed to let off entirely while taking a corner because I would just trail brake. My dad would always say something to me but I'm glad I never stopped.

Love the new education aspect of your videos. Taught me a lot in this one video alone

Good informative video mate. Thanks for the tips !

There's one more thing with the trail breaking that is crucial if you're look to be quick. Break as late and hard as is practical with out upsetting the car, back off the brakes as you turn allowing them to help rotate the car, then 'don't accelerate until you can keep accelerating'. I believe I'm quoting Jackie Stewart there. Smooth is fast.

this video really helped me a lot! thanks so much!

All these tips, been doing it instinctively for a long time now. Not on cars, but motorcycles.

Call that a corner! Reduce your braking distance by 50% and you've hit that brakes twice as early as necessary.

Great presentation. Just discovered your channel and enjoyed this. Road surface grip and having traction control and abs can help with more daring braking techniques, so perhaps more modern cars can be more forgiving. Love your Renault, Sir!

I was trail braking my entire life without even knowing I was trail braking. THANKS

I raced for many years with an FIA International Pro A license. Even when driving on regular public roads, it's a myth that you should lift off your brakes before beginning a turn. You want to ease off your brake as you turn in so as to maintain the weight distribution achieved during braking as well as provide the best grip possible to the front tyres. By the time you have fully lifted and got back on the throttle you should have started into your turn. This is not trail braking, which you kind of describe but can't really be done at lower than racing (or at least quite high) speed, which most people have no idea how truly fast it is. Sims will never provide the actual experience and feel of being on a track at racing speed. On a track one experiences a lot of diminishing radius corners, because they're much more difficult and more challenging. Trail braking isn't much help in most of them because you won't be able to carry as much speed as possible to the apex (always later in the turn on diminishing radius corners) so you can get back on the power as soon as possible as you exit. However, on expanding radius corners trail braking is essential, because you can brake very late and almost all the way up to - sometimes right up to - the apex and get on the power early. In these types of corners you also have lots of room so that even if you're carrying too much speed, you'll scrub it off as you reach the apex and though you might be slower at the exit than you want to be, if you're a skilled driver you can still get the car around it in one piece. If one is going really fast and have set up the car for a corner and started the turn, got back on the throttle and are in the middle of the corner, feathering it to keep the car balanced and pointing where you want it (sometimes you'll get some nice opposite lock on the steering as you drift through the apex) if you lift off completely or suddenly, or most especially even so much as tap on the brakes, you will almost certainly spin. At the very least you'll be sideways before you know it. Pro tip: Another technique for regular road driving is the lift as you mount a high threshold to a driveway or laneway, where the curbing has a bit of a bump (or sometimes quite a big one). Even though you'll be at low speed, if you squeeze the brakes quite firmly right up to the point where the curbing is - shifting the weight to the front of the car - and then lift off the brakes completely just as you're about to hit the curbing, the weight will lift off the front wheels and minimize the bump/impact. I hope I've described this adequately. It's easier to show than tell. But with practice, anyone can use this technique. Your front dampers will appreciate it too.

No nonsense content, loved it, keep up the good work

I'm a new driver, and the first 2 are just common sense really, the last one sure is more advanced but I already got used to it after some months of driving. I'm from Europe btw

Love how I can watch you talk through the logo reflection :D cool and well narrated video!

My years on a road bike taught me about the concept of inertia and the benefits for saving fuel (my own muscular energy, I suppose xD). Now I drive my own car and on the road I always being surprised of the red lights I see continuosly in highway, or in hill roads.

Thank you for the 1st tip. I've tried to tell this to so many people. "Why are you braking here, it doesn't make any sense?", They'll just shrug it off, they always drive like that. Okay, well; 1. It's jerky and not confidence inspiring at all 2. You're wasting your pads and rotors 3. You're wasting fuel 4. You're way too close to other drivers 5. You're driving way too fast into a roundabout only to have to do some jerky braking manouvre when you get too close. That's just stupid...

Thx for the 3 tips. In Austria so many people should see this, especially tip 1. I see so many people braking without any reason. That is so dumb.

Another thing I learned, is if I have to emergency brake, downshifting may also be beneficial as well because its also using part of the drive train to slow you down. It isn't good for your brake pads or anything but if its only in emergencies and you aren't doing it often, you should be okay.

Number 2 only applies if you're trying to be smooth, if you need to brake hard and fast you should brake immediately to where abs kicks in or when the tires start to skid, then ease of a tiny bit and try to feel where the threshold is. This way you effectively reduce braking distance. The balance of the car should only be unbalanced if you are already turning or already in motion, hence why one of the first cues to starting drivers wanting to brake better is to brake in a straight line, lift off the brake and then starting turning. When you have built up confidence and know your braking distances that you start to blend in some trail braking to counteract the rebound when abruptly lifting off the brakes. I recommend practicing this when it's safe to do so, stamp on the brakes and try to feel what the brake pedal is trying to tell you. Also keep in mind this threshold changes according to tire grip and conditions. If you're still in doubt go watch the pedal cam of any circuit driving.

The issue with number 1 is that drivers behind you won’t know you’ve slowed down. I always touch the break to indicate to anyone behind me that they have to slow down too. Same with hitting the hazards if motorway traffic comes to a sudden standstill. Though I get what you’re saying, you still have to account for those drivers who’d still come belting down behind you.

First freaked out cuz it looked like you were driving on the wrong side of the road... Second freaked out how narrow those roads are. So little room between you and the I'm coming traffic and no shoulders like we have here in the in Michigan USA but Indiana seemed to think shoulders weren't needed either.

I've seen people drive without brakes but I've never seen anyone drive without accelerator!

This guy talks about brakes like Gordon Ramsay talks about food.

Any tips on ideal first cars for car enthusiasts that are also practical

learning to drive in an old truck without abs forced me to learn the first two tips intuitively, it made me the driver i am today

Just found your channel man, had to sub man ur good!

Feel like everyone should have to watch your video before they get a license. Such great advice and even better ending it with trail braking!

i was literally thinking about u making vid about braking HAHA perfect timing 👌🏽

I remember my instructor saying to me “what’s the most important thing you need to control the car” I thought I was dead smart and said “the brakes” thinking well if your steering wheel fell off at least you can still stop. And he was like nope the steering wheel. I was so sad.

learned the risks of trail braking the hard way. one corner i drive almost every day with no problem trail braking became a big problem when autom arrived and it became slippery. understeer and right into a fence and the whole side became dented

About the engine breaking and shifting down to increase the engine breaking... by stepfather told me always a change of breaks is way cheaper then a change of clutch or gearbox but using the engine to break while not downshifting to increase it is actuall a solid idea that i've been doing ever since i got my license I also use the engine to break the car when with downshifts but then again i know what im doing thank god

Years ago I got adviced, while playing racing games, to ease out any imput as you steer into a corner and to apply them again while straightening the steering, as if there was a string attached between the brake and the steering wheel, and the same for the throttle

Problems is there will be lots of performance car drivers (in German cars, Lol) who are not trained, yet think they can drive trail braking like a pro, until winter or a greasy wet road gets them up close and personal with a tree! My safest cornering is well within the grip envelope of the tyres and keep a little gas on into the apex, not to accelerate, but to stop the engine braking from destabilising the balance. Then with a front wheel drive, accelerate out. Edit: Spot on with not braking and using anticipation, I do this all the time. I drive about the speed limit on a dry road, but ease off in time to meet lower speed limits and give traffic lights just enough time go green as I get there etc. I hardly brake at all normally, unless I need to actually stop! This conserving momentum saves fuel and feels a very laid back stress free drive. However, this must be slower than driving ‘point and squirt’ with sporty zest..right? Well, yes, but not as much as you might think…it might add upto 10% to a journey time, so 20 minute work commute will take me an extra two minutes longer than someone who drives tailgating, does risky overtakes and frets about every car that is in front and every slight delay…Plus I might live longer huh!

I feel like a pro driver, i'm doing all 3 techniques even tho I never learned them like that. Thanks for exlplaining!

After this video i have realise i have been doing trail braking since i first learn how to drive, it's mind blowning to hear people brake then turn 😂

Ad3. To use that technique you have to be waaay above speed limit. Usually when I drive outside cities 90-110km/h I can go through corners without even breaking or by cutting it if street is empty. 4. You should learn and try full emergency breaking. To not be afraid to quickly break from 90km/h to 0.

Mr. Mick was explaining such a valueble things, that didn't mention that good'ol bentley on 2:15)

Plan ahead and let off early, use engine braking. Apply brakes to slow some, then let them cool. Deceleration plants the steering going into curves, especially with front wheel drive. Most drivers don't realize you can downshift their automatics. I use a manual, and get a minimum of 120,000 miles, 200,000 kilometers, from factory installed brakes.

The giggle after overtaking was devilish 😂🔥

I do the same things, especially tip #1. As a taxi driver I haven’t been replacing brake pads in the last 220.000 km (135.000 mi) and counting, saving fuel and all those components who could have been stressed with no advantage. Colleagues still tease me because I don’t brake. 😄

simple and objective 👍 nice

I trail break when I'm getting off the highway while going 130kmh, slowing to 45kmh while doing a loop turn and then getting on the gas again. Didn't know it had a name, I just thought it was the safest way

Trail breaking is great for getting traction provided youre not understeering. Just also be careful oversteer all the weight is on the front 2 wheels. Left foot trailbraking is an awesome technique too but i could never think of a use for it in a legal sense on the road

Solid tips. I endorse all 3 points

I didn’t know trail braking had a name, I’ve always done it here and there thinking it was cool but I imagine it doesn’t make it too pleasant for the passenger to suddenly slow down that fast

I'm a beginner driver, just got my first drive on the road today. When practicing, I've been brake trailing & had no idea. Just seemed obvious that to make the safest, fastest & most efficient turn you would obviously brake and release at the apex. Duhh 😂

I tend to coast in neutral up to reduced speeds. What you use in fuel idling instead of DFCO, you save because you started coasting from twice as far back instead of continuing to hold 70. If you need to hold a reduced speed down a hill, stay in gear.

We can get away with the odd mistake to do with loss of grip on some surfaces with the existence of modern kit - although there are absolute limits in extreme situations. A long time ago, I did a lot of learning on an old VW beetle, and that was a another story. Rear wheel drive, manual braking, no such thing as automatic anti-lock etc. Now, my normal one is a Toyota Hybrid. If the car you’re using has regenerative braking (and shuts down the engine while slowing down) starting to brake early helps to make best use of it. Not always possible at signal controlled junctions, of course. However the other benefit is that it helps to deal with unexpected slippery surfaces en route, rather than leaving it to the last few seconds with a relatively heavy brake application (and leaving to the automatic kit to sort it out if it can).

I was karting since the age of 7 so when I started driving certain braking techniques carried over without even thinking about it lol

Trail braking is useful when you’re on a busy road with cars behind you with a big speed limit, and you gotta pull off and get out of the way quick

Thanks i didnt know the 2nd one

I didn't ever know these things are tips and not normal way to drive. Now i'm scared more from other drivers who shared the road with us.

I've never done a survey, but I would have thought most people would answer that the brake pedal is the most important pedal in a car. Seems like obvious common sense to me.

Cool video, i realized the way you pronounce stuff and the tone of your voice is like Tristan Tate😂 he is actually half british too, just a side fact there. But i love your car, i actually fell in love with this very same car, 300hp, quite enough for daily use or the track even (Nordschleife once a year), the sound, interior and the huge middle exhaust plus the lower front lights that look like a chequered flag just really got me wanting this car as my next one. I really think similar when driving and i know most Tips😂 i think i can drive, but really cant too much, one of those dudes. But still nice video🔥

It's interesting how much of the stuff you say in your videos is common sense but the average Joe doesn't do it. Been driving like this for years, I avoid braking all the time and read the road ahead coasting a lot and, carefully, use my clutch to engine brake. I always drive closer to the lane divider line as there are less drainage holes, pot holes etc (especially on B roads). I park far away from supermarket entrances to avoid door dents. I also like to buy cars that are not very common to see on the roads; a few years ago owned a Laguna Monaco GP, it was a bit slow and interior was a bit rattly but it was such a good looking car and had some nice tech. Any way keep the videos coming, love that Megane RS.

All of this stuff is something that develops in your driving over time even if you are never taught. If you feel the car.

The third one is absolutely unecessary risk,always apply brakes/adjust speed before entering the curve

I use to work at Laguna secca, the quickest way thru the turns is to brake inti the apex and accelerat out
