That was amazing codriving. Simply superb. Like he was another hemisphere of the driver's brain. And that course.... gently caress ME, that was horrifying. I don't even see how the dude can see the clipboard. Do you guys know the story of the world's first pace notes? In 1955, Stirling Moss was given a Mercedes 300SLR with which to compete in the Mille Miglia - a 1,000 mi (1614 km) circular course around Italy that started and ended in Brescia, Italy. As co-driver and navigator was Denis Jenkinson, who was a motor racing journalist and had a history in motorcycle racing. He was also 5 feet tall, so added little weight or aerodynamic drag to the open-topped 300SLR. The whole race took place in Italy of course, and was a little bit of a self-congratulatory affair; Italians in Alfa Romeos, Maseratis and Bugattis beating everyone else on their own home soil. So a Mercedes reserve driver - John Fitch - who was originally scheduled to use Jenkinson as his co-driver, came up with the idea that the only way to beat the Italians was to introduce a sort of scientific approach. The idea was to note every bend on the course and give the driver a heads up about the speed they should negotiate a blind corner. But then when Moss joined the team for the race, Jenkinson asked Fitch if he could still use the idea with his new assigned driver, and the go-ahead was given. During the actual race, they were going around 160 mph through the Italian countryside in an open top car, so they had to use hand signals to communicate. The problem was that none of this had ever been tried before, and all sorts of crests and corners that were predictable at normal speeds made the car behave wildly at the 170+ m/hr speeds they achieved. Thus they went off 3 times, but were incredibly lucky. Once, Moss blacked out from G-forces. Another time he went wide and collided with some baled hay. And one time, one of the brakes locked up (as we know the 300SLR had huge drum brakes that were contemporary at the time as opposed to the relatively new fangled disc brakes), and they spun across a small driveway, miraculously avoiding the ditch it spanned that continued for some distance in either direction. The last 300 miles they had to drive with no front brake pads. Moss and Jenkinson won a victory with a time of 10 hrs, 7 mins. and 48 seconds. The average speed was 97.95 mph (157.63 km/hr) Moss became one of only 2 non-Italians ever to win the Mille Miglia, both in Mercedes. The race was only ever run two more times. And we all know the tragedy that that exact car, the Mercedes 300SLR, was to be a part of at Le Mans later that very year.

eames posted:Dutch people are doing a braking test in a show that's looking for the worst driver of NL. Welp. You're driving down the central lane at 50-80kph (changes depending on season), then you have to quickly shoulder check both of the signs (see how one has an X and the other one is a big circle?) then lane change into the lane indicated by the "clear" sign. Sometimes both of them are "bad" in which case you just have to stop in time. Most people lock 'em up and understeer into the wall of boxes, or if they do manage to lane change, fail because they weren't going the proper speed. One entrant in a previous year crashed at ~40kph. This is the episode that features it from the last season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pEFF0GxpVk The reason the brand new Camaro in this episode looks demolished is because the first episode consisted of: quote:a reversing course with one foot of space on either side, followed by a 50 km/h slalom before stopping in front of a wall.

When are they going to do Canada's Worst Mechanic? I'd love to see the emergency safety meetings when idiots crawl under elevated 1.5 ton death hazards. Tex was always my favorite. They fixed his ineptitude but not the red on his neck.

I just watched that whole season of Canada's Worst driver for some reason beyond my comprehension. The conclusion was total BS, they chose the guy who decided on his own to pull over and stop, rather than the old lady who broke dozens of laws in one small trip, and was completely oblivious to what she was doing. She is by far the greater danger.

She just doesn't understand she has no business being anywhere near a car. I felt sorry for the dude with the wife. She was just straight up abusive.

Seat Safety Switch posted:Canada's Worst Driver. I'll usually watch that show especially now that Philippe Létourneau is in the cast -- I've had advanced driving instruction (track, ice) from the guy, and it's always neat to see someone you know on TV -- but I'm often frightened to think that the contestants are driving on the same roads as I am in everyday life when some of them clearly should not have licenses. It's even worse when you consider that there may be worse drivers still on the road.

I agree that Dale should have "won". She is just completely oblivious to the law, common sense and the safety of other people. I cannot fathom how someone can be THAT bad at driving or even basic comprehension. As for Lawrence, he actually looked like he was improving a lot. Bad driver, yes. Worst driver? Not even close. I wanted to reach through my monitor and bitchslap Brad's wife multiple times. What a thundercunt.

^^^ That's actually a fake show with actors pretending not to be able to drive for poo poo, right? I mean, how can somebody who's driven for more than a day not know the S-turn? Or the guy who couldn't make a lane change without skidding into a parked car. But then... they wouldn't have an actor run over some crew members... so it's probably real, isn't it?  Lance just seem to have a psychological problem, although that's really a pretty common issue with the contenders. Including Brad's land-whale's who's completely terrible though, and anyone driving her around would go nuts in short order. Scott is a douche, but besides the drinking and driving a bit too fast I thought he was fairly competent compared to most of the others. Dale is just terrifying, I have no idea how anyone can willingly stay in her car for any length of time. She's by far the worst of the bunch. Check out the previous season, it has a guy named Mike Butt. It's also pretty interesting that they have some of the same type of terrible drivers: the abusive pair, the slow one, the careless distracted bitch, the immigrant, etc. On the down side, they beat the poo poo out of some cool cars like the Silver Shadow, G-Wagen or the CL coupe, it's just so much more fun when it's an ugly green automatic Camero.

Dashcams for everyone! I wish there was an easy way to make a cheap digital cam just endlessly loop on say a 32 gig SD card. vvvvvvvvvvvv: The loop function is what I'm looking for. As in it comes on when the car is on, and doesn't need any attention. When something happens, pull the card and download it. If nothing happens? Card doesn't "fill up" just overwrites the oldest stuff. Sponge! fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Jul 8, 2011 |

Phone posted:That is outright pathetic: 500 pounds for clipping somebody at a decent speed? What the hell. Well, plus the suspended sentence, community service and 2-year ban on driving, after which she'll have to take (and pay in full) her driver's license all over again, that's another £800-£1500. I agree, though. The 2 year sentence shouldn't have been a suspended sentence and the fine should have been £5000 instead of £500, plus a decent amount paid to the victim. She's clearly a menace to other people.

Ultimately I think the sentencing is fair. Actual jail-time for a driving offense makes zero sense to me unless it's a repeat offense during a probationary period--this woman is clearly just an irresponsible idiot, she's no threat to society unless she's driving a car. As for the fine, I'd assume the guy was well taken care of by insurance (dunno how that works in the UK) and it was purely punitive in addition to the community service, so that works for me (assume $10/hr* for the community service and it's $2500* total). * - Like hell I'm using your foppish "pound" symbol.

No you don't have to slow down to 30km an hour just to be sure you don't get caught, driving through it at 60 is perfectly fine. EVERY. loving. DAY.

Dear loving god, in episode 5 during the donut challenge she repeatedly hit the wall and the center obstacle, she kept looking at the wrong things and hitting them. And on the way out of the ring she aimed the car at the presenter, hit the gas and cackled "I'm gonna getcha!" How is this woman not in a mental institution?
