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.

[RUREGLOCAL]

Gosh, I really hope you don't run into me too - I'd be less than happy.

If you're concerned that it's a possibility, then may I suggest you take up some form of advanced road tuition?

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 .

[kujon69]

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.

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.

@TheDirector17 Looks like it's up in Yorkshire, as you can see the Ribblehead viaduct at 5:35.

Great vid

Is this St Ives - St Just in Cornwall?

[gromit37]

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.

[garryloads]

This is fuckin bollocks, seen a fucking daihatsu copen corner faster than this pussy.

[HwkEy]

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

[mobster365]

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.
