A Man Who Can't Drive plays Mario Kart with a Real Wheel 

They used to call me The Drift King back in college, soon they will call me The Drive King

He's just confused because Irish people drive on the left side of the road, meanwhile in Mario Kart you get hit by lightning

Imagine what a power move it must be to step into the car with your driving instructor and immediately saying 'You know, they used to call me the Drift King back in college' and then just normally driving while avoiding diving further into the topic

I'm suddenly glad that Ireland is an island so the Drift King stays contained

If he ever gets on the road he'll definitely be rumbling and tumbling

Remember Dan, when you're driving on the highway, the R on the gearbox stands for "Race"

If only Abby was here to lend her support as RT takes his driving test and tries to kill as less people as possible because as we know, he used to be called the Drift King back in college

perfect that he got baby park as his first track. a true test of skill

Next video is gonna be dan actually learning how to drift a car in real life

The biggest shock of the stream wasn’t his driving skills but rather how he’s never seen Pixar’s Cars

I imagine that during his driving test, Dan will try and press the drift button and get a mini-turbo for more points to make up for him driving up the wall.

now he can become the drift king IRL, god help us all

I would say it’s embarrassing I lost a few times to Dan with a wheel, but THEY USED TO CALL HIM THE DRIFT KING BACK IN COLLEGE, I had no chance when he was using a real wheel. Turn up your sensitivity Dan please I beg of you-

make sure to show this video to your driving instructor so they can be totally in awe of your skill and give you the license instantly! you don’t even need lessons

Funnily enough, as part of my driving training in school, we had to use a steering wheel like this Nintendo one for the virtual driving simulation! It was as bad as it sounds. I had to redo a module once because I was watching a polygonal pedestrian walk UP a light pole.

I just realized the juxtaposition of being the drift king and not having a driver's license, how did I not connect the dots sooner

RT can really do it all: speak Italian, be the drift king back in college, traumatising his child (chat) and that’s about it! What more do we need?😂❤

We're one step closer to Dan actually getting his driver's license haha I loved to play Mario Kart Wii with the steering wheel when I played with a friend, good memories, simpler times Stay hydrated, get some food and take care :o]

*I DEARLY hope your driving lessons are live-streamed.*

My mom says to me "why don't you wanna drive your good at Mario kart" ...next time she says that I'm going to show her this video

As someone who also cannot drive (no one will teach me cause they're scared) and my only form of experience behind the wheel is kart racing (I did it once when I was 12) my favorite almost learning how to drive moment was me hitting the pedal a little too hard, immediately stopping, and turning to my mom to say "I thought I had to hit it hard like the ones in the Mario Kart arcade game-" ever since then I have walked and only used a bike to travel. 😀

For anyone trying to pass an exam…your biggest enemy is hand over hand steering. Depending on your instructor, they can fail you for that because “you don’t have full control of the vehicle during that turn”. The best idea is to not do it, at least until you’ve passed. It comes as second nature to me for some reason, and mums trying to drill into me that I can’t do that.

It all makes sense now! They used to call him the drift king because he could never drive in a straight line to get his driver's license!

Whenever I, or anyone around me, feel embarrassed about getting a driver's license a little later than usual, I like to bring up the fact that two of my favorite RU-vidrs still don't have a driver's license despite being full grown adults. Funnily enough, both are Irish. One is called the drift king, and the other spent thousands of dollars on a driving simulator

I love how calmly RT talks as he's whipping his arms left and right wildly to steer

I like that he's playing Mario Kart to learn how to drive; the items really emulate realistic driving, having other reckless drivers and such getting in the way.

As an Italian, Dan has actually achieved perfect fluency in 30 minutes

Still cant believe I got second place in this. Was a great time playing with you, RT!

The threat of RT being on the road is now one step closer to reality and it scares me

You can tell between an experienced driver and the Drift King because the latter’s hands are glued to the wheel and move with it, proving he’s never off the road of gamers. Absolutely phenomenal lad.

Imagine being in a taxi and the driver is watching a driving tutorial video on youtube. The taxi driver is RT.

dan in the starting line up for a race: how do you drive a car? time sensitive question

I cant even begin to imagine what would happen if Dan tried this with Forza

How long until RT gets that wheel installed in a car so he can drive for real

I'm glad at least Cloé got the Ka-ciao joke at the end there, lmao

Italians used to call him Il Re della Sgommata back in college

I can’t wait for the stream where Dan will get actual driving lessons and the instructor will have to simultaneously teach Dan whilst also responding to Twitch Chat

"Some people have their radio as background, i have driving lessons" Ah yes, I love when my uber has driving leassons on speaker when taking me home to my family

I like how you can equate wins and losses solely to the wheel depending on who you ask: "Oh my god you only one because you have the wheel!" or "You lost because you seriously thought you could beat me at mario kart with a wheel"

I imagine the driving instructor will be quite concerned when you purposely drive offroad into some crates and grab a turtle and some mushrooms.

fun fact: you can see me horrifically losing in the first 10 minutes of this :D

'the instructor is going to be impressed with the amount of power slides I'll be able to do' 😂😂😂

The crazy thing to me is that RTGame probably doesn’t realize how incomparable this is to real driving

Irish man tries to drive with sterring wheel is terrifying to see until i realized it was mario kart. Then it got scariest

The fact that RT wasn’t doing any hand-over-hand turning was so painful to watch lol

You know, last night I actually had a dream where RT was playing mario kart wii! He was on 1cc and playing as Daisy but he could go normal speed on boost pads, but he still got 12th every race. On the final race of the stream he crashed into everyone else, killing them instantly, and he managed to kill 23 racers even though there should have only been 11 other people

Someone should get this man a logitech wheel and make him suffer on an actual sim I feel like that'd be fun to watch

Now I've gotta see a stream for American Trucker Simulator

That "Ka-ciao" joke was beautiful. Fulmine Queeniccino would be proud!

5:57 Nice job, the placement of the webcam is making it look like Kamek is making the Baby Jesus cry.

The way I immediately recognised the voice if the first driving instructor video Dan played 😂 I watched a lot of Conquer Driving whilst learning to drive. As well as DGN and Clearview Driving. Got me through my nerves and passed first time! Just feeling nostalgic now damn!

I love the fact that he could have played Forza or something with the wheel, but instead he went straight for Mario kart.

another classic from rumble tumble gaming

Hi,Rt I ain’t kidding but Harry hill literally lives so close to me and my brother even saw him in the gym!I thought it would be so funny to ask him if he knew who rtgame was and if he wanted to get interviewed by him.That thought is just so funny to me 😂

This is one of favourite RT Videos, I’ve rewatched it at least 3 times.

As an Italian fan, this video was magical

Holy shit I never knew RT stood for rumble tumble

The Drift King carrying the torch of the Blood God. What a happy day!

Now do it drunk, Raniel go on

I want to see RT try a more realistic racing game now

RT needs to do a driving course with hoonigan to actually get his drift king title verified. Plzzzzz make this happen internet.

As foretold by the prophecy the drift king has returned

Something about watching this video *while* you yourself is learning to drive makes it extra special. Can't wait to tell the instructor I learned to drive from The Drift King.

11:43 I had my first crash after 8 years of driving a few months ago and I do actually refer to it as a 'spectacular crash' - miraculously nobody was seriously injured at but the spin my car did must have been a sight to behold

Love ya RT! Keep up the work Drift King.

The horrifying visage of just Dans pristine pearly whites jutting into frame at the start reminded me to brush my teeth and wear my retainer. Thank you Drift Daddy 🖖

Hey RT! Just wanted to let you know that I got my license a couple days ago, and that I learned everything from the Drift King! Can’t wait to see you on the road!

I was super drunk and listening to the exact same italian lesson 3 weeks ago😂 It's surprising how much you learn from it!

Can’t wait for an animated of this

I wonder if there is a actual driving game RT could use. Like a setup with brakes, signals and even a handbrake in a realistic world.

Can't believe he drifted right though an orphanage.

My first time "driving" was in this out door go-cart place, I crashed a gas powered go-cart. only got a little bruised.

Honestly, I'd love to see RT drive a monster truck. It'd be cool to watch him destroy various things with it.

10:05 "The game thought I was AFK" YOU _WERE_ AFK

the language and driving lesson gags are part of the reason why im subbed, keep up with the absurd gags!

8:00 Dan, i love you, you're one of the best content creators out there, you're the best but as an Italian, that was dreadful LMAO

Now I just wanna see RT try and play Euro Truck Sim 2...

I did something similar to this with Mario Kart Live on stream once. It's ridiculous how well it works 😂

The only impression RT would make on a driving instructor would be the impression of an airbag exploding on the instructor's face

WDYM YOU CAN'T DRIVE. YOU WERE LITERALLY THE DRIFT KING BACK IN COLLEGE!?!?!?

Not sure if it's possible with this but if you can change the steering range so you move the wheel less to turn more

Im starting drivers training in a few months and weirdly enough this video gave me motivation

Well I can't see how this could possibly backfire in any way, let this Driving and Drifting King onto the streets

I love Michael Hobbs. I loved hearing him in You're Wrong About. I'm yet to listen to Maintainence Phase, but this might be what pushes me to do so, so thank you! :)

Id love to see dan try proper driving game like eurotruck sim2, horizon 5 or even project car2

Will definitely be referencing this vid for when I take my driver's test. Also when in court for vehicular manslaughter charges. Thanks dad!

The way he holds the wheel hurts my head. God bless you Mr. Rumble Tumble

TIL that RT stands for Rumble Tumble... I really don't know how to process this information.

Sentire RT parlare italiano mi riempie di gioia

Okay, but I actually had a pretty good crash back in college. I was on a big hill, hit a patch of black ice, and then instead of flying off the side I ran into the embankment, rolling over sideways. But it landed on the wheels so I just sheepishly put it in drive and got to the nearest parking lot to wait for a tow. One of my coworkers had a good crash too. About as good as he could have, since a pedestrian was wearing all black on an unlit road, and they narrowly avoided turning the guy into chunky marinara. Instead they just clipped him with the wing mirror and he was basically fine. Then again, I suppose if you spend enough time walking down the center of the road you'll develop an immunity to cars. (I recommend against trying that.)

You would somehow manage to swerve into my lane, and i live on another continent

When I was learning to drive, they had me do sessions in a simulator to start off. My gamer instincts couldn't not kick in, so I was cutting corners and not giving a toss about what else was on the road.

I literally just got my drivers license and got back home to see this release lmao

I love using the wheel addition to the remote. I always used it growing up. It feels easier to me

ive been watching rt since i was in sixth form, now i have this on while i edit a final year uni essay on joyce, time is weird

I think Im one of the few people to have had a good car crash. I got hit by a car and after the initial panic attack and freak out I was pretty chill. I had a massive bruise on my leg and thought it was the coolest thing. The incident ALSO took place in my neighborhood and thus got on the neighborhood facebook page, so a few days later when I was getting the mail, a couple recognized me and were like "Oh arent you that poor kid who got hit by a car the other day?" to which I, like a normal person, responded "YEAH IT WAS AWESOME. I HAVE A REALLY COOL BRUISE NOW"

Can't wait to see you use the steering wheel to play actual driving sims like Assetto Corsa or BeamNG drive

You have the driving skills of a lobotimized crab Cool video!

I need to see an RTGame vs Terroriser Gaming Rig race competition

As someone who played a lot of Mario kart using tilt controls, I can confirm it does translate to actual driving skills.
