Driving like a bellend alright, but to be perfectly honest i've seen worse driving at meets. Every overtake there was made with a good view of the road ahead and not while approaching a hazard - except that one where he first met the celica - relatively speaking he was pretty intelligent about it imo.

Yaris TS is only a 1.5. It's geared well for nippy town driving but they're ultimately an un-inspiring and shit drive, with a terrible driving position. Proper granny car really, not the slightest bit cool and zero character. I think they come with a hook on the dashboard as standard, for you to hang your pissbag.

not really a good vid at all, but that sort of driving id expect to see on a track day not around the roads. even tho there was good view on over taking etc. but i have seen worse on the roads. me and my dad were nearly taken out in the rover metro by an arse hole doing about 70 mph maybe more trying to over take a strip of cars on a singe carriageway. he was heading straight for us luckly i wound my speed down to 50 mph which just say let him get in. we would have been killed out right aswell if we had a head to head!

What was wrong with that? Other than liking the rear of the car infant a bit too much

Yawn. What was meant to happen?
Re: How is this guy not dead - Ed Doe - 16-03-2012
So in summary, i think he was driving a bit quick in town at the beginning and end, and he tailgated like a dog sniffing arsehole, but apart from that I'd agree with Poodle; his overtakes were considered and he never cut it fine.
It seems everyone who can't pull off the overtaking manoeuvre properly is so quick to slate someone who can. I dread to think what people would make of my driving based on the above reaction. I just know my commute very well so can overtake almost anything if it's not doing the speed limit in the nad.
You can think what you want about my driving, I'm not fussed cause I know fundamentally I'm safer than most of the people fecking about changing channels on their radio whilst doing 30mph past a school, or eating whilst driving, or on the mobile, or anyone who considers the car and the art of driving merely as a means to get from A to B.
The moral of this story is really 'Speeding is like wanking, everyone does it, but no one posts videos up of themselves doing it...'

Re: How is this guy not dead - Niall - 16-03-2012
He drives like a BMW/Audi driver. He's stuck to the back of the car in front and he's driving too fast for the location. Would Definately be eledgible for a bmw licence if he didn't use the indicators!
Re: How is this guy not dead - lewisdmz - 16-03-2012
Some of his overtakes could have been smoother but that was because he was tailgaiting, other than that not too bad.
See much much more dangerous driving regularly on the roads. Most of the worst overtakes i've seen are middle aged men driving family cars.
Re: How is this guy not dead - Jonny81191 - 16-03-2012
Apart from the stupidly excessive speeds round town and the tailgating, I can't see much wrong with that..
He obviously knows the roads well. At least he's making an effort to overtake quickly. So many people seem to think it is safe to pass someone doing 2 MPH slower than them, whilst approaching a bend.
IMO, Pull out, foot down, get past in as little time as possible, pull back in. I'd rather get up to around the 100 mark whilst passing someone rather than crawl past, barely making progress and just waiting for a car to come the other way.
Re: How is this guy not dead - Ed Doe - 16-03-2012
^^ Glad it's not just me then!! The ironic thing about overtaking is the more room you give yourself between the back end of the car in front, the longer you have to accelerate, and the longer you give yourself to decide if the overtake is on. It's the people who do all their accelerating once they've pulled out that are more dangerous!
Re: How is this guy not dead - samass - 17-03-2012
i agree with Ed to be fair, i've no qualms with overtaking, and yeah he was moving a quick in some parts, and driving too close to other cars, but all in, not that bad. i know i've done worse/sillier things!
Re: How is this guy not dead - mark_airey - 17-03-2012
I agree totally with Jonny, and for a change Ed
hock: But yeah, goes something like - leave a nice gap before possible overtake place, foot down just as your coming up to the overtake point and close the gap, one last check before pulling out that its safe and keep your foot hard down until your past, by doing so you minimise the amount of time you are facing oncoming traffic and thus minimise the chance of an accident!
A lorry overtaking a lorry on the only bit of dual carriageway for 20 miles is annoying also

Shit the bed, Mark actually agreeing with me??!! Err um, yeah but his coilies are on the bumpstops so he's a dangerous idiot.
PHEW!! Balance restored
I jest; glad plenty of people on here are of a similar view on this

I know Ed, I felt the same when I was writing it, if felt wrong

Lolz.
But in all seriousness, absolutely bang on the head mate, there's a massive gulf between driving within the law and driving safely, far too many people seem to place way too much faith in there being any kind of correlation between the two, which - for the record - there isn't.
