so all you do is stay in your lane if you cannot see anything ahead of you and use whole width of the road if corners remain visible, am i right? or are there another tricks that i cannot notice? this looks 100% safe to me and therefore I don't understand users like @Jimbocam
Shame so many people miss the point. This style of driving is not about maximum speed - it's about high speed without any compromise of safety. It's clearly a very accomplished drive with excellent use of positioning to open views and reduce cornering radii, solid hazard perception and skilled vehicle handling.
Moron. Have you read the text it is linked to? Where does it say it's about maximum speed? You have the brains of a pussy... a small furry feline could out-think you.
The camera doesn't give an accurate appraisal of all observasion link the driver will have had available at the time. Very good use of acceleration sense and positioning for improved vision and good driving plans with due regard to the performance of the vehicle (sounded nice) and the comfort of other drivers. I agree with scrups911
From what I can see, the driver is doing fine. Personaly, I'd rather stick to my side of the road.. makes more of a challenge.
Having siad that, he is cornering somewhat conservatively by going wide on the entry and keeping it tighter on the exit. He's over the centre on the bits he's already seen. What many fail to realise when using more than their side is you don't make a wide exit, because it's so much more likely you're not going to see past the apex and bang.

Who ever is driving this car needs to understand the importance of site, he spends to much time on the wrong side of the road, without any real visual length Fucking morron
I must give credit where its due. This is a very good police advanced style drive , even if the speeds are a little slow for police advanced. Very good cornering and planning . Yes the I.A.M and others wouldnt accept it but thats because they dont have to travel at higher speeds . Its had to understand this driving unless you have done it yourself but trust me , at speed it is essential .
Good comment from scrups911. It will seem counter intuitive and totally incorrect to be driving over the white line when you cannot see what is coming, however, this is the reason why you need to be over the line so you can have an advanced warning of a potential hazard.
When i say advanced i mean sometimes less than a second but this enough to spot a hazard and deal with it. Once again great comment from scrups911.
Too many situations where, particularly if the camera is further left than the driver, the vehicle crosses to the wrong side of the road. There are assumptions being made that any oncoming vehicle will be higher than the line of sight over the walls. If a low sports car such as Caterham or Lotus 7 or similar was coming the other way then there is an immediate conflict.
If I was assessing this driver he/she would have failed, turn around and return to base.
Jimbo, what you're not seeing is the way he links up corners before he's even finished the current one. The whole drive is very fluid - there are no harsh inputs of steering or braking. And offsiding is a recognised advanced technique. PS 60mph looks fast on the camera, Reg ;-)
Err, you're making assumptions about what I'm seeing. What I'm actually seeing is inconsistent positioning, poor positioning and veering onto the wrong side of the road when there is no benefit in "fluidity", safety or observation. "offisding" as you call it is not, to my knowledge, a recognised advanced driving technique, certainly not by the IAM or RoADA.
BTW I have no issue with the speed - it actually looks rather slow to me. ;-)
Jimbocam - look at the white Xantia and how much warning you get of it at about 1:30.
I think what makes this driving look dodgy is that the camera is mounted lower and further left than the driver's eyes (unsurprisingly enough) making the visibility seem much worse than it actually is for the purposes of making the decisions.

That's some pretty atrocious driving, you do realise you're supposed to drive on the left don't you? I sincerely hope I don't run into you driving down a country lane.
so all you do is stay in your lane if you cannot see anything ahead of you and use whole width of the road if corners remain visible, am i right? or are there another tricks that i cannot notice? this looks 100% safe to me and therefore I don't understand users like @Jimbocam

At 5:55 there is dead ground on the long straight but you go for the overtake anyway. FAIL.

it is very common in my country...
even bus driver do this at 100kmh uphill 2 lanes only... went through the middle and almost broke his side mirror with other bus... WTF...
THis happened when I was at senior high school... good experience though.. lol

To be honest, its quite boring. I would expect the driver to use that style of driving/cornering at higher speeds to maintain the speed.

Drive for what you can see, slow down for what you can't.

Sorry you are spending too much time on the wrong side of the road when you can't really see it is safe. Even allowing for camera height.
And that sheep may have changed its mind.

If it was Stirling Moss I'd still think it was a stupid thing to post as "advanced driving", particularly if the camera angle is misleading.
