6 Things You Didn’t Know You Were Doing Wrong When Driving Fast 

Always drive fast next to cops. They will usually be impressed and give you points on your license. If you collect enough of these points, you can win prizes! Like... a new license.

Poop before driving for weight reduction

When I'm driving fast: 70% looking out for speeding cameras 30% paying attention to the road

I think the biggest precaution is to keep your ego in check.

Put the shifter into 'R', for Race 😉

Don't confuse your intentions with your ability.

Playing loud music is a bad habit except if it's Eurobeat

Top tip: Don't Be The Prick On The Road. 👍 Drive fast but drive safe.

My technique is straight line no matter what. If there is a roundabout, drive over it, if there is a sharp bend, plough straight on. That way you will be sure to reach a good and safe speed

"Playing Loud Music" Eurobeat is not included. It would decrease reaction time by 100%. It also adds 50 hp and godlike techniques. Takumi Fujiwara Confirmed.

“number 2: playing loud music” baby driver: 👁👄👁

“I paid for the whole speedometer, I’m gonna use the whole speedometer.” My cars speedometer goes to 160 but it won’t get there so I’m out of luck 😂

Now it makes sense why we turn the volume down when trying to look at road signs.😀

tip for driving fast: take a poop before you leave or you'll might poop when you crash.

Don’t drive 50mph through a small town centre after only having a car for 3 days other wise you’ll hit a lamppost and write it off like I did :)

I think you forget the basic thing of racing. Slow in fast out. This can save you from hitting the tree or it can give you some seconds if you are on some racing track.

Stay calm when you get caught behind slower moving traffic. If you get angry with them for being slow I've found it moves your concentration away from driving. This means you make mistakes which could lead to an accident. But, and most importantly it takes the fun out of driving.

make sure you don't watch this video while driving fast****

Inspect your car before hitting the roads. I normally do this just in case. Also, I let my car warm up slowly before driving it hard.

#1: Don't put other peoples lives in danger End of video.

My fast driving tip: don't do it in the city. bonus tip: assume 90% of the other people on the road are complete idiots and thus drive defensively. That means alot of people in fast cars are idiots and I myself have seen proof of that.

Confirm the state of your tires, brakes and engine fluids. I think is an important thing to look before you go a track.

1st tip : buy a car

I love the references to bikers. we don't get enough credit for how much thinking, intuition, skill, and critical thinking we put into riding on a daily basis.

Drive within the ability of the tyres, not the car.

Start slow, get fast naturally. When you can drive a slow car fast, you will be much more equipped for driving a fast car to it's potential.

#1 tip: Everything happens faster when you go fast. You need to act faster, too.

installing a higher-spec (Leather) steering wheel from the same model/year has improved my weekend sports driving appreciably. Better grip, less effort to grip the wheel etc

I usually do 225kmph/140mph on the German Autobahn: My Checklist: Speed up only if the road ahead is straight and clear Look out for cars in the other lane ahead of you who might misjudge your speed Practice hard breaking on an open stretch of road with no traffic to do your best when you need this skill the most Get comfortable with the car for a few days or months before testing its limits Only do such speeds in Germany in no speed limit zone or a race track. Nowhere else!

First time i tried left foot braking, i got whiplash

Watched this video so many times, even though i knew about all these things, as i love cars, but when i explained the balance shifting while in a corner if the car is not on load, my friend was like amazed, he never knew about such thing, not that he ever drives fast, but still, i bet there are a lot of people that have no idea about how much weight balance matters while cornering at speeds. Gj with the video, even after so many years :)

Thank you for making this video, I saw this when I first got my car and it probably saved my life a few times. On bikes too!

Can I make a serious comment and tip for younger drivers. Dont drive your 1996 toyota corrola or other shit box as though it was a focus rs or a like on mountain/Canyon road. You may think you are Colin McRae but when you get something wrong ESC and ABS wont be there to save you. I have personally fished my friend out of his overturned car at the base of a valley when he locked all 4 wheels on a hairpin, he drove it straight off a cliff into a tree which flipped it on to its roof. He was lucky to sustain no injuries. You may not be. Moral of this comment is to have fun, but drive to the limits of your car and not your perceived ability.

Cruise for around 20 mins to warm up tyres before taking bends.

0:57 "I can feel it coming in the air..."

Keep space with the car in front of you especially at high speed. I've had some close calls because of because suddenly slowing down

the only wrong thing I do when going fast, is slowing down.

"Playing loud music"" dont play eurobeat loud. its gonna decrease reactions timing by 100% and give you godlike techniques. and makes you go sideways at a corner and cant forget it adds 50 hp more

That bit about picking the right time and place is key. In North Georgia (the US state) there are tons of fun mountain roads. If you try to drive on a weekend, you're gonna be on someone's bumper the whole time as they clinch in fear on the swervy s-curves and drive more slowly than is probably necessary. Go mid-day on a wednesday, though... it's like your own private race track. It was just me and the motorcyclists and a couple of bicyclists (be nice and slow down on approach and pass generously; they should get to enjoy these roads, too). Really, this is all excellent advice. Just the basics, but the most necessary information for having fun and staying safe.

Stop using your phone while driving

Here's two more Look out for police And Don't die👌🏽

Use your brain and take in account other driver's possible stupidity. In other words, you might as well go to a track because on public roads there will always be an idiot around that is too busy watching his cellphone or is completely oblivious to what is happening in any of his mirrors. On public roads a golden rule in your car is: always assume the worst...and don't get mad when it actually turns out to be reality.

Awesome tips, thank you !

Most of those tips are like "if you´re thirsty, just drink something"

So you are saying that euro beat won't help my doriftu?

When a nice corner appears......DRIFTTT

Practice learning the width of your car on the near side, I did this by brushing the mirror along over hanging weeds / bushes in the lanes near by(might want to duck tape it or something if the paint etc is important, once you understand the width of the car to the point it's second nature you can really improve cornering, I've raced a lot of BMWs and jags in the lanes over the years and not knowing the width of the car means I've kept up with them in much much lesser cars the worst one being an E46 touring vs my then smart forfour and he couldn't lose me because he just couldn't corner to save his life. Another one would be practice in the snow, as in, if it snows specifically go out at midnight with a mate and play about in it drifting / handbrake turns etc, if you do that for a couple of weeks while it snows you will have such a better understanding of how a car behaves when it's behaving badly to the point you see an exaggerated result of bad cornering technique that any other road conditions seem tame after that. I'd recommend doing it in shit box though, I buckled two wheels my first time :)

Such a good video. Specially the part about seating positions and keep the car under load.

I followed the first tip for 9 and 3. I ended up rotating myself for a U-turn

don't drive fast while raining.

Super tips and advice keep it up car throttle

Awesome tips man 👍👍👍

My additional tips from experience: 1- Don't hit the brakes too quick even if you have ABS. Ease the on the brakes first until the weight shifts to the front, then you can press harder. 2- Brake in a straight line while you can. 3- Avoid full throttle on uneven/bumpy surface. 4- Make sure your tyre pressure is adequate.

a lot of these concepts are lost on most drivers :(

Being a Artic driver planning ahead and anticipation is a natural instinct , and it helps with my weekend “blast about” to many people with powerful cars that have no idea . Let alone what to do when in a skid or oversteer so many nice cars in hedgerows when I’m at work i see it all.

Text during the first 5 minutes to warm up your fingers. Look for interesting scenes around and turn your head with them, following them all around when passing them. Pro drivers can turn their neck up to 180 degrees. This is to increase your field of view and prepare you for whiplash. Also, stretch your legs before you drive off by putting one foot behind the headrest, one after another, of both, if you're trained. You may have to bail out through the headlight cavity after enjoying your drive.

1 thing I would suggest, don't have any loose objects in the car. Put your phone away, no open liquids, no bags. Seems like common sense but I've seen it happen too many times!

The "trail-throttling?" (the never coasting thing) is something you learn immediately from racing games. At least from good racing games.

Now thats some QUALITY informative content

100% agree with playing music. I have to turn it down when I’m driving twisty roads or when there’s heavy traffic otherwise, I can’t concentrate on what’s going on. The seat position is also pretty important too and I noticed a big difference in my range of motion and feeling of the road once I sat closer to the wheel and more upright.

Basically everything said in this video was said by my driving instructor. This video isn't about driving fast, it's about driving in general...

Bet audi drivers understood tailgating insted of trailbraking

Always run a test on the surface before carving corners, run the road/area with a "pacing" lap to get a feel for the speed on straits and through corners before actually driving in a spirited manner.

One's rights end where other people's right begin....respecting that we are all safe! Good video!!

1st step of driving fast: Have a vehicle that can go faster than 65 mph.

Most important tip. Don't get caught.

Good, sound advice. I would argue that the hand-over-hand technique does have its place. On the open road or track, not so much but when doing some tight slaloms or autocross events, crossing up the arms will prohibit the driver from obtaining all of the steering input the car is capable of providing.

Useful message

7 not realising that you are doing 70 in the tesco carpark

But my car is my music, should i turn it off then?

3:45 I was more worried about that E46 than the performance car, god I love old beemers so much

Hi . Nice video. Thanks for sharing with us. ( Love Driving in Dubai UAE 🇦🇪❤)

keep your mental police scanner on edge.

wait...adjustable bolsters are a thing? god I'm so poor....

Always liked enthusiastic driving at night. No bicycles, less cars, can see lights way ahead of a car, downside are nocturnal animals…also tends to be cooler, more risk of ice…

Cost and shift your wait depending on the turn. Make sure that if your driving fast around tight turns where your hugging the turns and accelerating in the truns 1 use both lanes and use your turn signal 2 make sure your tires aren't bald or close to it 3 feel the car and the road and think 6 steps ahead of everyone on the road.

Rev matching downshifts, especially with spirited driving and most most especially while entering a corner/mid corner. Aside from the obvious (maintaining chassis balance/stability) it significantly reduces wear on the synchros as well as allows for faster down shifts. Use it in every day, casual driving for practice and increased transmission longevity.

drive fast die young -my grandma 2014

The only tip I can think of, is never brake going into a corner (Or whilst going around it) Always brake in a straight light and carry the speed through it

Some people are healthy like my weight is 90kg so my belly touch the steering when i push forward... So i have to keep my seat on back.... But by your videos i have learn alot bro... When i want to go fast I always put my both hands on steering.... Sharp turn with under loading a car is good technique... I was able to turn around 80kmh on sharp turns.... And see where want to go is the best tip...but also tell them...that when they start car early morning the engine and tyres are cold enough... So dont drive fast.... Let the tires warm up so you can feel better grip and handling... Every morning when I go university I see accident due to cold tyres not picking up brakes.... So guys this tip will help you let the tyres warm up...

7: know when to slow down and never take chances, i.e. don't drive faster than you can stop on the road visible to you. Most people going fast enter bends too fast and still are slower. Fastest and safest on the road is 'slow in, fast out' of a corner.

can't wait to see Phil move again

this was genuinely helpful

My hand when driving calm is @ 12, but once my hands are @ 9&3 everybody in the car grabs on for dear life 😂😂😂

Oh and watch out for mustangs.

The F-type used in the video doesn't appear to have adjustable headrest (but is flat and correct already). If you can adjust it, make sure the flat part is angled parallel to the back of your head and raised so that the back of your head when sent backwards lands in the middle. If you get this wrong and have an impact you could really screw your neck. Say if the head rest is tilted forward and only at the height of your neck. Adjustable headrest is there to help stop whiplash. Or to be removed and beat irritating passengers with on tiring road trips....

You just confused 99% of Americans when you said “clutch”

These tips are absolutely essential.

3 things that are very important and forgotten is. 1 KNOW YOUR CAR like brakes behaving in corner feel.. 2 DONT GO 2 FAST IN TO THE CORNER AND LIFT TRHOTTLE CAUSE YOU WILL CRASH AND MISS EXIT SPEED. brake late till car is setteled and be fast at the exit. 3 BE SMOOTH steering dont do jerking steering that will unsettle the car.

*eurobeat dies out*

Good stuff for all drivers here

That was actually a good list, not just click bait. Proper job.

The NUMBER 1 thing you're doing WRONG when driving fast: NO [ E U R O B E A T ] blasting on the radio.

Great video! I'd just like to add that if you got the right car for enjoying spirited driving, you should naturally prefer to listen to the engine over the stereo anyway.

Very informative video

Also, another tip, behind the rear tires, there is a switch that enables the W16 veyron engine

when he going into that turn at 0:37 I was like "holy shit you're gonna go head on with that car!"...then I remembered...

1:40 Jaguar STILL uses FORD foot pedals lol

Check out the route you want to take. Making mental notes on turns, bumps, etc. Also see how your perspective changes between night and day.

Thanks for the Pro tips, I’m gonna need this to be Fast and Furious
