A video reminder to stay in your lane

By Karl Peskett |
FIND DEALS

In this holiday season, we’ve already seen how fatigue can end in possible tragedy. Uploaded last week, this video shows how it doesn’t matter about the car you drive or its ability, but how careful we need to be as drivers.

Thankfully nothing ends badly for these drivers, but as you can see it could very well end with a fatality. Our being on the road is a privilege and not a right, meaning we need to keep our driving in check if we want to remain alive, or not have the death of another human on our conscience.

The salient point is how well we know the road. If you’re not sure, slow down. Some corners can tighten up very quickly as some of these drivers found out the hard way.

    …am I the only one that can’t see the vid? (mobile edition)

  • James

    I dont understand why people would drive like that on a public road….there are race tracks for that sort of thing.

    • Anthony

      sorry James, the race track is no place for running wide, not taking concentrating and a lack of driving skills.

  • Justin

    I was able to watch it on my mobile. There is some very nice exotics there, the red carerra gt is stunning

  • Devil’s Advocate

    Those drivers don’t deserve a license. That Motard would have been fun though!

  • Hung Low

    Playstation racers on the road! These people should sharpen their lack of skill on a real track!

    I drive a similar road daily -unfortunately i see this quality of driving regularly from mums,dads, tradies etc.

    And how is such a road policed – they sit at the bottom of a long downhill straight (80kph, used to be 100kph) that, for 15 km., is now the only non-double- lined section (it has an overtaking lane uphill, {unnecessarily short} broken line downhill).

    Dumb, lazy policemen- meeting a ‘quota’, not society’s needs.

    The biggest problem I see with this video is the film crew distracting the drivers.

    With tight corners coming up the last thing you need is a quick little “ohh whats happening with all the cameras”.

    Those that were driving like a hoon were putting it on for the camera aswell.

    Not really the best video to relate this point to everyday driving.

    Its kind of like running up to the road side waving your arms and saying “watch the road”

    That may be true but you should be watching the road even if there is a camera crew sitting there you don’t go around a corner to fast and then go ohhhhhh a camera crew im going to hit this corner even faster a smart person slows down and checks out what is going on these people where just going to fast for there own talent.

  • MisterTwo

    What we have to remember is these are yanks and we all know that Yanks haven’t a clue what a corner is, so they don’t know how to go around them.

  • Save It for the track

    Really. looks a lot like many a car review on many a TV or internet ‘car review’. Where all too often the double lines are crossed. Unless said reviews are ‘filmed under controlled conditions’ we must assume that the reviewer is breaking the law. I’ve yet to see any as bad as this, but crossing the doube lines, and popping the odd u-turn over said double lines seems common in motor vehicle review land.

    Those morons just cant drive let alone corner, That sort of driving would even get you thrown off a race track. Just…. dicks.
