1988 Dodge Aries with automatic transmission had a 0-60 time of 12.3 seconds (when running 91 octane). Being the US Army, I'm positive they would have been running 87 octane, which would have put the 0-60 somewhere in the 14 second range. Things got a little better when the Army went to the Dodge Spirit and Chevy Lumina, which both had 0-60 times in the 10 second range. MPs got stuck with Ford Escorts and Chevy Cavaliers.
1988. A very different time when terrorism was limited to Europe. Most notably Germany and Italy. We were actually required to travel in Class As if going on leave. They adapted well. and FYI, this is llke 30 years old. I am sure you have been perfect at all times in your life and never had to adapt to a changing environment.
@@jackwalker9492"We?" You act as is if terrorism was new in 1988; it was going on in that iteration for over 20 years by 1988. It was limited to Europe?!? ROFLMAO! Were you sequestered on an Amish farm? In the time that it took for you to write an embarrassing comment, you could have researched it.
@@DowntownDeuce2 US Army Infantry. I enlisted at age 16 (1981) with my parents consent, but had to wait until 17 to leave. Left Vermont for MEPPS at Manchester, NH at 2200 and when we got there, it was after midnight, so I was legally 17 and I took my oath. 8 yrs AD 19 in the VTARNG and was a contractor starting in 1995 until about 2010.

i leave space in the mcdees drive thru just cause people are totally nuts anymore, never use the inside drive thru lane of a double laner, pure kill zone

@@The_ZeroLinewow it must have taken you alot of time researching if any high value military personnel has been targeted like the scenarios in the video
@@MarkIsTiredAlways Well, my job actually involved intel analysis and I have never heard of a high ranking US military official being targeted for kidnapping or assassination (not including terrorist attacks). That doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened and we just haven’t been told. There was just a lot more to lose than to gain for our Cold War adversaries in attempting something like this.
7:00 I'm not going to fall for a banana in the tailpipe. Crikes... unless you're driving a tank or patrol car and armed, wearing a uniform draws all kinds of negative attention.

Running from the cops in 2023 should be all the proof you need that you should self-evaluate yourself and realize you have a low IQ and your impulse control has a propensity to do stupid shit that only hurts you and your life. The technology police have now made getting away impossible without DOZENS of the right conditions. A driver would have to pick the time and place to get chased by the cops to come out successful - A spontaneous run from the cops is just stupid and ignorant. When you see cops lights - You're caught dumbass, it's over. The only thing you can do after that is kill/hurt someone else, kill/hurt yourself, go to prison or take your little misdemeanor like a man and not act on your sociopathic nature. Simply the fact you posted this comment publically is indisputable proof you have very poor judgment and are eaten up with a dumbass. People who run from cops in their cars make me sick, and I represent the majority of society. Get your shit together asshole.
I used to use these techniques learned from anti terrorism class before R&R to Qatar. Used to leave for work at different times and vary leaving through the ally out back or the driveway out front. Did it because I was stuck living in the hood and if people know you have stuff and they know you aren't home your shit will absolutely get broken into.
I absolutely love how in the beginning the only problem the officer has is trying to impress the higher level with his music taste, only to get into an ambush.
I like the way he blasts the classical music at about the same volume as the cheesy synth pop. We have to assume that the commanding officer was used to such things.
I've avoided many traps with these techniques. In fact, today I spotted a small child manning a lemonade stand. Obviously a terrorist trap so I stopped in traffic, and proceeded to perform a simple 8 point U-turn across both lanes of traffic. While this held up traffic for several minutes, it was nice knowing I stopped the ambulance with it's lights on from passing the trap. I shudder to think what could have happened to the poor soul that ambulance was trying rescue had the IED disguised as a lemonade stand gone off.
Thank you for your service. I applaud you for your awareness, not everyone can recognize lemonade IED's these days. 7 year olds sure are getting crafty.
My dad was a CI Agent in the army back in the early 1990s & swears by this training, lol. Didn’t believe him till some psycho guy road raged us when I was a kid 20 years ago. Dad hit a j turn maneuver and sped off. I could tell he was waiting for a situation to whip that out😂

Wow, that video really opened my eyes! Before watching it, I used to just drive around without a care in the world. Now I know better - I carefully survey every new place I go, no matter how mundane. Why just this morning, I did an extensive threat assessment of the local grocery store parking lot before going in to buy milk. I identified all the choke points, possible ambush locations, and escape routes. You never know when buying bread and eggs might turn into a combat situation! I'm sure the other shoppers thought I was ridiculous crouch-walking between the aisles and peering around corners, but better safe than sorry! The cashier gave me a weird look when I dive-rolled out the automatic doors, but thanks to my evasive driving training, I was prepared for anything!
I will confirm as a retail worker, we were just shocked someone willingly touched the disgusting floor, you now have fallen for the bio-warfare trick your enemies pulled knowing you would use evasive maneuvers.
did u use an old wind up roll camera to survey the area 😂 ...look at 1st amendment auditor videos...see how people now a days freak out over a camera when they forget there's cameras everywhere...
I remember attending this course in 1992 at Bill Scott raceways in West Virginia. It was a crazy course and I remember this video. It was an incredible experience and these tactics actually work because we did them in souped up Chevy caprices.
@@Toby_the_Glendamn straight it is. Especially them 9c1 police packages. For the time them caprices we're zippy AF. They we're often faster than the f bodies (less the limited run models) the mustangs & pretty much 85 +% of foreign cars at the time. My dad had the 95 ss impala with the LT1 350 (same as police models) with a borla exhaust, a mild performance cam & ported/polished factory heads & that thing knocked down wing high 12's on the quarter. Not bad for a 4k pound car. So yeah they we're more capable than you know.
if you are going to ram from a stop, its generally better to ram going in reverse. this is especially true with a front wheel drive car. a front drive car can drive without any part of the car behind the driver's seat even attached (more or less). if you want demo derby races, they will often drive primarily in reverse for ramming because it also puts a huge amount of crush zone steel between you and the target, and you don't destroy your radiator. if you blow up your rad getting away, you may not get very far at all before the engine seizes
Reversing is also better climbing icy terrain/sleety snow on an incline. My brother couldnt get up our driveway last winter and I told him just reverse into it and it was nothing for him lol
Make sure to take the wrong direction in the one-way pickup lanes, too. Can't become too predictable, you know. Going to make the Colonel real proud of you LMAO
I use the bootleg to turn around quickly in parking lots if I inadvertently pass by a good spot. Saves a lot of time and often avoids someone else beating me to it. I find the J turn useful as well when I find myself going the wrong way down a one way street especially when I am impaired.

Brilliant. As a corporate filmmaker having created numerous training videos, this was excellent - great video production 35 years ago! Tons of angles, great acting, good sound mixing…nice work! And the comments are so funny.
Valuable information! I've been applying similar techniques in my capacity as a Starbucks barista. The advanced planning adds an additional 4-5 hours to my daily routine, but I consider it well worth it. I've only been the victim of 9 muggings in my life, and I owe that to my diligence and uncompromising field awareness.
@@fredjepson9992 Our underdeveloped deltoids make us easy targets. Wear shoulder pads, but don't let the added confidence interfere with your situational awareness.
Best think about K-cars is not one of us enlisted types in our IROCs and Mustang GTs ever got a ticket on base. Once you passed 80mph, the K-car MP would just turn his lights back off and give up. With about 20% of Ft Bragg in the same 2 cars, good luck finding the correct one later either.
When I was in the military and overseas. Sometimes we would be driving someone of something of high value. People may not know this but in a situation like that we all drive extremely fast. That way if someone tries to trap, ambush or follow you. They have to keep up with you which will make them stick out like a sore thumb. It’s actually really fun to drive through a city like a bat out of hell.
not only does it make the passenger feel very important, it's fun for the driver (meaning they stay engaged and alert), and it's a sound tactic to reduce the effectiveness of ranged weapons and also draw out your attackers into situations they hadn't planned for. almost no downsides to driving super fast in this situation, especially in a modern car with so much design effort spent on crash safety.
I love those old K Chryslers, they handled like an Alibaba Cadillac and every drive was a hoot. The ENTIRE floor of mine rotted behind the rust-proofing layer and under the carpet, so none of us knew there was any trouble when I bought mine. Less than a week later and the carpet was the only thing keeping me from greasing the local Interstate with my severed legs 😎
That mid-80s Plymouth Aries is just absolutely dripping with sex appeal. Before computer-assisted design, this sexpiece of a car was sculpted with nothing but cardboard boxes and an Xacto knife. You did it, Mr Iaccoca
This video was approximately 2 years old when i watched it in Seoul, South Korea. I was required to take an evasive driving course because I was the attaché/ driver for the 2nd Infantry Division DISCOM Commander, Col. Larry Fulbright. Ah the memories of those Chrysler K cars.😂 I spent 21 months in country up at Camp Casey from 1989 to 1991. We had the infamous K car, and also a jeep Cherokee, and a hard top, slant back M.P. humvee. Despite being what seems a cheesey video, there is a lot of valuable information in it. And during the course instruction, we got to practice and perfect our performance in all of these evasive driving maneuvers. Many times we traveled in civilian clothes back down to Seoul. For the uninformed, back during those times, the college aged Koreans hated us Americans. Up in 2ID territory we had a curfew most of the times and had travel off post in groups of 2 or more when off duty. I was a 19 year old young man back then, and was the rank of Spec 4. Many many good memories of that time of my life and I am glad I lived it. I left Korea in May of 1991, and wouldn't be face to face with Col. Fulbright until 30 years later when i met him at his home in Oklahoma. When I walked up to the front door, his wife hugged my neck and welcomed me in. I knew his whole family back then in Korea and that day, last year they were all there and it was like old times. Even though I had not been face to face with him for 30 years, we had spoke regularly on the phone since 2000. Col. Fulbright retired from active duty in 1996 as a brigadier general. He joined the army, as a buck private right after the Korean War. They don't make em like him any more. He was a soldier's soldier and it didn't matter if you were a general or a private, if you were in the right he'd run through hell for you. But if you were wrong...heaven have mercy on you, because he would not. I joined the army in 1986 and left active duty in 1991. I enlisted into the army reserves before I left Korea and Col. Fulbright performed my reenlistment ceremony in his office. I spent 5 more years in the reserves and got out in 1996. Good times, good memories, and I am thankful.
It's all about context. We just got out of Japanese 36 year occupation in 1945 but then we got occupied by US AND USSR who divided our country in two. From 1948 the CIA watched and supervised the new president Syngman Rhee dispose of literally hundreds of thousands of his political enemies, innocent civilians, and anti-Japanese patriots with the help of former Japanese collaborators and nationalist-fascists like Hong Beomdo. North Korean Kim Ilsung also cleared out his enemies in the North but at least the South should have done better. There was Korean War which US helped S Korea to fend for itself, but in the eyes of many, the country should have never been divided in the first place. It was Japan that should have been Asia's West/East Germany. That's the idea. We never liked either Soviet Union or United States. And there was no hindsight back then about which Korea would be better off in the next 60 years or so. Our economy surpassed the North only in the 80s. After Rhee fled to US Hawaii, we got two dictators in a row which US was... silent about. One of the two, Park Junghee: he silenced all the families of the perished people during Syngman Rhee regime because the US wanted anticommunism, and saying the government did wrong by saying innocent people were perished during Rhee's "anticommunist"(big quotation mark) purge was as bad as communism, back in the day. Funny thing is, Park Junghee is god worshipped by pro-US factions these days but he really did not like Americans. He was stubborn, traditionalist, and nationalistic, and didn't like US telling him what to do about, say, South Korean nuclear armament. That's the bottom line for us Koreans. We are very independent and proud. Park was a Japanese collaborator and a former communist... but he was a Korean through and through. The next dictator, Chun Doohwan, he ended a lot of people in Gwangju in 1980 to seize power. US, still silent and approved his illegal regime, which he got by staging a coup. That was Jimmy Carter at the White House back then. The protector of freedom condoning a traitorous general who ended thousands of people's lives to become president. Even with heavy censorship back then, people knew what's up. Chun stayed until 1987, left due to Olympics which he tried to use as bargaining chip to silence his critics, but actually became his Achilles Heal, because having a dictator hosting a peaceful Olympics was a bad PR for the "demcracy". By 1988 the damage was already done. And it was the ordinary soldiers like you who had to feel the brunt of the anger of ordinary Korean citizens. A lot of the older generations now, especially older 40s and over 50s, they still hate U.S. and call white Americans big noses and black Americans.... (racial slurs). Yes we are racist. Surprising, because we 30s and younger gen doesn't have that hate anymore against Americans. It's bizarre but makes sense if you think about it. US was officially and technically an occupation force from the beginning. That was because it was occupying a former Japanese colony. It permanently changed after Korean War but that impression of being occupied again lasted. USFK bases were way more common and prevalent back then before the end of Cold War, and during that time they could see girls trying to buy their way into US by marrying G.I.s, which hurt their national pride and sense of... Korean identity. But at the same time, making friends with the Americans was a surefire way to get successful, and a lot of them taught us, the younger gen to learn English, and that Americans are friends. Despire that, those old heads still had more... literal family connection and blood-love with North Koreans even though we fought a war that perished millions. It doesn't exist anymore. Younger generations don't have that. We couldn't care less about N Korea and would rather remain divided due to how different we have become, and constant threat from Kim regime that's meant to preserve the Kim monarchy. US's support for anti-North Korea propaganda did a number on our psyche too. Nevertheless, its mostly the old Koreans who threw bricks at you back in 1980s that still dream about reunification and united Korea. It's pretty sad if you think about it.
Is that brake release a normal thing, or some 80's contraption? Most manual cars just have a hand brake lever in the middle, but I haven't driven automatic enough to know what's normal for them.
@@ShardCollector Some manual cars use that system, like mercedes for instance, some older models you had to press again the parking break to release it, others have the break release button like the one on the video.
@@ShardCollector current times an electronic “push button” e brake is probably the most common in ICE. My ‘23 suebee has an old school hand brake and is an auto…I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY.
I had this type of training from professionals twice in my military career. I never drive without thinking these thoughts. I think that contributes to my fear of being a passenger.
One of the finest compliments I have ever received was from my paramedic partner during my EMS career (which is still ongoing and with whom I still work). She said that when I was driving the ambulance, she "never had to worry for (her) life" because she knew I'd get us where we needed to go, safely, no matter what. That came from having taken and learned defensive driving techniques, and from having been blessed to have learned situational awareness. It's amazing, to me, to see how many people seem to have nothing but disdain for the video, mocking it as though it's some kind of big Hollywood production that was done badly. Talk about missing the forest for the trees.....
@@SusCalvin In my experience it was the people assigned to the U.S. Defense Attache Office inside an embassy, not the U.S. Marine Security Guards, but I never attended their training. It would make sense the MSG did receive training, but I never saw them drive. The MSG program only allowed the DET commander to drive himself.

I did a J turn in my dad’s Aries LE two-door 85 when it was almost new and coming around the tire popped off the rim and left me there with a flat so I figured out how to get the air back into the tire removing it laying flat on the ground and standing on top of it with my weight and the air hose attached. I got it to seal and get the air back into it. It took four months for my dad to find out about it when he went to put his winter tires on and the man at the tire shop showed him that the scrape marks in the front right tire or in the direction of the car going in reverse so he said your son must’ve done some stunt driving. I didn’t drive it again for quite a while when I turn 17 I bought a 70 super bee. .

Dodge Aries. 0-60 in 11 seconds..slow today..spritely for the 80's! & they were a fine handling, nimble car..i know..we owned several of them..never had any probs. i'd like to have another today.
This is the suggested method of travel through the US taught during drivers ed in high school. It gets odd when we're all trying to traverse the killzones at the same time.
My dad was a contractor at Aberdeen Proving Ground. We would see them practicing this all the time. He worked in the building wear back in the day that tested nerve gas and lsd on GI's.
Well ain't that a coincidink! Back in my day, the final test was to get away from the afrocuban headband wearing terrorists using these maneuvers while on LSD in a car filled with nerve gas. I almost failed cuz I nearly broke down in tears when I ran over a trash can. In my defense it was red and had a big friendly smile like the koolaid man, until I ran out over. Tbh, the sound it made still haunts me to this day. It sounded somewhere in between a peacock getting sexually assaulted by a mongoose and a constipated elephant fart.
I had a '77 Chevy Nova with an e-break design of a ratcheting pedal mechanism and steel cable that only went to one rear wheel's drum break. It's almost like the car was designed specifically with the bootleg turn in mind. Never thought to tie up the break release though.
I took this class as a private individual with some SF "contractors" great fun. The whole class got to do the turns and yes even the ramming. They left out some details, headlight to hub Cap is what we were taught.
I actually took this course, it was called EDMT, (Evasive, Driving, and Maneuvering Techniques. Situational Awareness was the main point, but we learned some pretty cool driving (e-brake)techniques, and jturns
"Babe hurry up or were going to be late for my dad's birthday!" "Don't hurry me, safety is no joke! Now let me finish surveying these routes and identifying possible terrorist ambush locations"
Even at eight years old regarding defensive, driving my dad always told me “never put yourself into a position you can’t get out of” Situational awareness for any driver is horribly underrated. But being observant of your surroundings, that means checking your mirror some people don’t know what they are for not for make up or popping pimples. They are for observing the traffic around you. Some people have their mirrors pointed where all you can see it from him is the side of the car. Properly adjusted mirrors not only prevent blind spots, but also give you a better angle to glance at your surroundings 360° without turning your head.
Modern mirrors, particularly Japanese and Korean cars are 50% of the problem. They made them small to reduce drag and improve fuel economy, creating huge blind spots, even if properly adjusted. This causes people to be afraid of lane changes, so they do dumb stuff like left lane hogging and swerving at the last minute. Towing mirrors on a full-size truck are a completely different experience, particularly when properly adjusted so they look to the sides. With one glance I have complete and unambiguous information about whether it's safe or courteous to make a lane change.
I always set my side mirrors to catch a bit of the side, to see anyone reaching for the door and for ranging information. But yeah, checking mirrors is critical. Looking in them when you hear something amiss is also a lifesaver. Heard the chirping of truck tires trying to emergency stop one rainy day. Rear view showed a buddy wasn't initially paying attention and noticed too late to stop. I had stopped with enough room that a quick look showing room to the right, I turned right, eased the gas and he managed to stop - about halfway through where my vehicle just was. Driver in the left lane looked over at me, him, then gave me a thumbs up.
Also, Pick a car with a bolt pattern that matches yours. Swap the rental cars wheels with yours, and start nailing those Js and Bootlegs. Great training, and a fresh set of wheels for your car!
You couldn't do anything you see in this video in modern cars. All the nanny safety systems would lock out the electronic handbrake, keep the car from sliding, and lock you out of reverse while the computer tries to find a gear. Not to mention that hitting a curb would brake and bend every suspension geometry and put the cars low profile wheels out of round. Even modern trucks and SUVs aren't as strong anymore. Whistlindiesel has shown that.
That’s why I drive a 5 inch lifted 2000 4Runner it’s a tank on 33 inch wheels with no new electronics ! It will leave most trucks in the dust off road with its fully equipped long travel suspension..
@@SammyKurts-ku2ht I can't hate on Toyota. I personally have a grudge against them Nixing manuals, but they also make some very reliable autos so it balances out.
@@jacobrzeszewski6527 actually, the antilocks won't engage against the emergency brake, assuming you've bypassed its lockout. The curb would do worse, fuel pump disconnect engages on shock. As for strong, they're still strong vehicles, you confuse crumple zones for passenger safety with weakness. They're not tanks, but then, cars never were tanks - tanks are tanks.
Had to PIT a Land Bruiser once in a POS sedan that was little better than an ancient K car. Got to base with a wonderful embossed wheel mark on the center of my driver's door and the SUV flipped. GCC nation around 2008.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the budget level cars in this video. The slow motion K car vs bad guys using old rusty vehicles is particularly amusing.
Pretty funny looking back at those times and the simple acting but mostly decent info. I remember reading an article on Hollywood stunt driving that showed exactly how to do a forward and reverse 180 back in the md 80s. I tried it in a parking lot and with practice got pretty good at it. My friends all asked to learn it which was fun if risky at the time. Modern cars with electronic stability control often don't allow using the same techniques or need a lot more speed for the forward 180. But the reverse 180 almost always works the same as it ever did. Good luck ramming with automatic emergency braking activated.
AEB can be overridden by jamming the gas pedal down again. Override logic is needed to deal with false alerts, things like shadows or blowing snow confuse camera and radar-based systems. It's all about knowing how your car is designed.
I watched and kept a copy of one produced by the British military that was more detailed on the maneuvers. The below 45 is more like 30 to 40 mph for a 180° turn. The faster you go, the more you turn, so doing it about 60 and above can get you to 360°. Of course, I had been doing this for at least 6 years by the time I watched their film. I could come down the road and put the car into a parking space on the other side facing the correct direction. The biggest thing they needed to stress was situational awareness, as most simply don't pay attention to what is happening around them.
@@chadmiller1222 - It doesn't matter. Since you are locking the rear wheels and letting then slide out and around, FWD or RWD is irrelevant. Now if you were doing a power turn, breaking the rear tires loose from applying lots of throttle, then it would only work with RWD, but that isn't what they are doing here.
I love it. I hope we could get the latest on these type of videos. Where I live this is actually a real life risk, with moderate to high probability of happening if you are flagged as a good target.
Glad this popped up in my feed. I took a class on high speed, ice, defensive, and evasive driving techniques through the school of engineering in 1979 at Ohio University. It was conducted on a closed airport runway in the winter. A ton of fun and it changed my driving for life, although I have never been a professional driver. And it caused me to teach my wife and daughters to never pull in tight behind another car at an intersection or in a "drive-up window line". Those drive up lanes are ripe for an assault or robbery - I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.
Лучшее нападение было показано в фильме Враг государства#1. Где из грузовика на светофоре открыли огонь прямо в переднее стекло автомобиля. Никаких шансов на спасение. Так убили Жака Месрина.
My dad rented this movie from the public library when I was a young boy. I always remembered the bootlegger turn from this movie. The J turn is also pretty badass.
How many people are put through this training? The closest example of the US military I can think of in Europe are the security detachments around US embassies.
HAAA HAAA...Ahh those days of Protocol driving in Germany. Being chosen to drive VIPs and Generals has provided me such a adventure and opportunities in the military that I can't ever repay.

Economy cars in the 80s were just slightly faster than taking the bus.
1988 Dodge Aries with automatic transmission had a 0-60 time of 12.3 seconds (when running 91 octane). Being the US Army, I'm positive they would have been running 87 octane, which would have put the 0-60 somewhere in the 14 second range. Things got a little better when the Army went to the Dodge Spirit and Chevy Lumina, which both had 0-60 times in the 10 second range. MPs got stuck with Ford Escorts and Chevy Cavaliers.

The 1988 Dodge Aries was my last car (and so far my favorite). Very maneuverable... but not the quickest car to get up to speed.

I mean it was a Chrystler K car in some vaguely European village. The car screams Army even in the states.
1988. A very different time when terrorism was limited to Europe. Most notably Germany and Italy. We were actually required to travel in Class As if going on leave. They adapted well. and FYI, this is llke 30 years old. I am sure you have been perfect at all times in your life and never had to adapt to a changing environment.
"Unmarked" as in not displaying the general's flag or plates. An Army car and Army driver would be the norm on and near an Army post.

You act as is if terrorism was new in 1988; it was going on in that iteration for over 20 years by 1988. It was limited to Europe?!? ROFLMAO! Were you sequestered on an Amish farm? In the time that it took for you to write an embarrassing comment, you could have researched it.

While this held up traffic for several minutes, it was nice knowing I stopped the ambulance with it's lights on from passing the trap.

Not bad for a 4k pound car. So yeah they we're more capable than you know.
if you are going to ram from a stop, its generally better to ram going in reverse. this is especially true with a front wheel drive car. a front drive car can drive without any part of the car behind the driver's seat even attached (more or less). if you want demo derby races, they will often drive primarily in reverse for ramming because it also puts a huge amount of crush zone steel between you and the target, and you don't destroy your radiator. if you blow up your rad getting away, you may not get very far at all before the engine seizes
Reversing is also better climbing icy terrain/sleety snow on an incline. My brother couldnt get up our driveway last winter and I told him just reverse into it and it was nothing for him lol

When I was in the military and overseas. Sometimes we would be driving someone of something of high value. People may not know this but in a situation like that we all drive extremely fast. That way if someone tries to trap, ambush or follow you. They have to keep up with you which will make them stick out like a sore thumb.

not only does it make the passenger feel very important, it's fun for the driver (meaning they stay engaged and alert), and it's a sound tactic to reduce the effectiveness of ranged weapons and also draw out your attackers into situations they hadn't planned for. almost no downsides to driving super fast in this situation, especially in a modern car with so much design effort spent on crash safety.

This video was approximately 2 years old when i watched it in Seoul, South Korea. I was required to take an evasive driving course because I was the attaché/ driver for the 2nd Infantry Division DISCOM Commander, Col. Larry Fulbright.
Ah the memories of those Chrysler K cars.😂
I spent 21 months in country up at Camp Casey from 1989 to 1991.
We had the infamous K car, and also a jeep Cherokee, and a hard top, slant back M.P. humvee.
Despite being what seems a cheesey video, there is a lot of valuable information in it. And during the course instruction, we got to practice and perfect our performance in all of these evasive driving maneuvers.
Many times we traveled in civilian clothes back down to Seoul.
For the uninformed, back during those times, the college aged Koreans hated us Americans. Up in 2ID territory we had a curfew most of the times and had travel off post in groups of 2 or more when off duty.
I was a 19 year old young man back then, and was the rank of Spec 4.
Many many good memories of that time of my life and I am glad I lived it.
I left Korea in May of 1991, and wouldn't be face to face with Col. Fulbright until 30 years later when i met him at his home in Oklahoma. When I walked up to the front door, his wife hugged my neck and welcomed me in. I knew his whole family back then in Korea and that day, last year they were all there and it was like old times.
Even though I had not been face to face with him for 30 years, we had spoke regularly on the phone since 2000.
Col. Fulbright retired from active duty in 1996 as a brigadier general. He joined the army, as a buck private right after the Korean War. They don't make em like him any more. He was a soldier's soldier and it didn't matter if you were a general or a private, if you were in the right he'd run through hell for you. But if you were wrong...heaven have mercy on you, because he would not.
I joined the army in 1986 and left active duty in 1991. I enlisted into the army reserves before I left Korea and Col. Fulbright performed my reenlistment ceremony in his office. I spent 5 more years in the reserves and got out in 1996.
Good times, good memories, and I am thankful.
Thank you for your interesting memories 🫡
My buddy Tim was in Korea, same job as you, same time.

@@Dubtee what was his last name, and what unit was he in?
It's all about context. We just got out of Japanese 36 year occupation in 1945 but then we got occupied by US AND USSR who divided our country in two. From 1948 the CIA watched and supervised the new president Syngman Rhee dispose of literally hundreds of thousands of his political enemies, innocent civilians, and anti-Japanese patriots with the help of former Japanese collaborators and nationalist-fascists like Hong Beomdo. North Korean Kim Ilsung also cleared out his enemies in the North but at least the South should have done better. There was Korean War which US helped S Korea to fend for itself, but in the eyes of many, the country should have never been divided in the first place. It was Japan that should have been Asia's West/East Germany.
That's the idea. We never liked either Soviet Union or United States. And there was no hindsight back then about which Korea would be better off in the next 60 years or so. Our economy surpassed the North only in the 80s.
After Rhee fled to US Hawaii, we got two dictators in a row which US was... silent about. One of the two, Park Junghee: he silenced all the families of the perished people during Syngman Rhee regime because the US wanted anticommunism, and saying the government did wrong by saying innocent people were perished during Rhee's "anticommunist"(big quotation mark) purge was as bad as communism, back in the day. Funny thing is, Park Junghee is god worshipped by pro-US factions these days but he really did not like Americans. He was stubborn, traditionalist, and nationalistic, and didn't like US telling him what to do about, say, South Korean nuclear armament. That's the bottom line for us Koreans. We are very independent and proud. Park was a Japanese collaborator and a former communist... but he was a Korean through and through.
The next dictator, Chun Doohwan, he ended a lot of people in Gwangju in 1980 to seize power. US, still silent and approved his illegal regime, which he got by staging a coup. That was Jimmy Carter at the White House back then. The protector of freedom condoning a traitorous general who ended thousands of people's lives to become president. Even with heavy censorship back then, people knew what's up. Chun stayed until 1987, left due to Olympics which he tried to use as bargaining chip to silence his critics, but actually became his Achilles Heal, because having a dictator hosting a peaceful Olympics was a bad PR for the "demcracy".
By 1988 the damage was already done. And it was the ordinary soldiers like you who had to feel the brunt of the anger of ordinary Korean citizens.
A lot of the older generations now, especially older 40s and over 50s, they still hate U.S. and call white Americans big noses and black Americans.... (racial slurs). Yes we are racist.
Surprising, because we 30s and younger gen doesn't have that hate anymore against Americans. It's bizarre but makes sense if you think about it. US was officially and technically an occupation force from the beginning. That was because it was occupying a former Japanese colony. It permanently changed after Korean War but that impression of being occupied again lasted. USFK bases were way more common and prevalent back then before the end of Cold War, and during that time they could see girls trying to buy their way into US by marrying G.I.s, which hurt their national pride and sense of... Korean identity. But at the same time, making friends with the Americans was a surefire way to get successful, and a lot of them taught us, the younger gen to learn English, and that Americans are friends.
Despire that, those old heads still had more... literal family connection and blood-love with North Koreans even though we fought a war that perished millions. It doesn't exist anymore. Younger generations don't have that. We couldn't care less about N Korea and would rather remain divided due to how different we have become, and constant threat from Kim regime that's meant to preserve the Kim monarchy. US's support for anti-North Korea propaganda did a number on our psyche too.
Nevertheless, its mostly the old Koreans who threw bricks at you back in 1980s that still dream about reunification and united Korea. It's pretty sad if you think about it.

I had this type of training from professionals twice in my military career. I never drive without thinking these thoughts. I think that contributes to my fear of being a passenger.
One of the finest compliments I have ever received was from my paramedic partner during my EMS career (which is still ongoing and with whom I still work). She said that when I was driving the ambulance, she "never had to worry for (her) life" because she knew I'd get us where we needed to go, safely, no matter what. That came from having taken and learned defensive driving techniques, and from having been blessed to have learned situational awareness. It's amazing, to me, to see how many people seem to have nothing but disdain for the video, mocking it as though it's some kind of big Hollywood production that was done badly. Talk about missing the forest for the trees.....
@@TheDoctor1225 a lot of the video comes from planning, if you are a paramedic, do you plan your routes?

I did a J turn in my dad’s Aries LE two-door 85 when it was almost new and coming around the tire popped off the rim and left me there with a flat so I figured out how to get the air back into the tire removing it laying flat on the ground and standing on top of it with my weight and the air hose attached. I got it to seal and get the air back into it. It took four months for my dad to find out about it when he went to put his winter tires on and the man at the tire shop showed him that the scrape marks in the front right tire or in the direction of the car going in reverse so he said your son must’ve done some stunt driving. I didn’t drive it again for quite a while when I turn 17 I bought a 70 super bee. .
I did the same with a 79 Grand Prix. Front tire right off the rim
Done the same thing in a 96 accord on the fire trails on a military base. But that was after doing multiple 360s

This is the suggested method of travel through the US taught during drivers ed in high school. It gets odd when we're all trying to traverse the killzones at the same time.
My dad was a contractor at Aberdeen Proving Ground. We would see them practicing this all the time. He worked in the building wear back in the day that tested nerve gas and lsd on GI's.
What a bunch of bull. He lied to you and you are spreading his stupidity. Awesome.
Well ain't that a coincidink! Back in my day, the final test was to get away from the afrocuban headband wearing terrorists using these maneuvers while on LSD in a car filled with nerve gas.
I almost failed cuz I nearly broke down in tears when I ran over a trash can. In my defense it was red and had a big friendly smile like the koolaid man, until I ran out over. Tbh, the sound it made still haunts me to this day. It sounded somewhere in between a peacock getting sexually assaulted by a mongoose and a constipated elephant fart.
Achievement Unlocked : K-Car Master
I had a '77 Chevy Nova with an e-break design of a ratcheting pedal mechanism and steel cable that only went to one rear wheel's drum break. It's almost like the car was designed specifically with the bootleg turn in mind. Never thought to tie up the break release though.

I took this class as a private individual with some SF "contractors" great fun. The whole class got to do the turns and yes even the ramming. They left out some details, headlight to hub Cap is what we were taught.
did they teach you to commit felonies on innocent mailboxes aswell?
@vash crimson No, just your mom's "mailbox" 🤣
I actually took this course, it was called EDMT, (Evasive, Driving, and Maneuvering Techniques. Situational Awareness was the main point, but we learned some pretty cool driving (e-brake)techniques, and jturns
Before Grand theft Auto 3 there was a game that taught me all about evasive driving......those old enough will remember the name:
DRIVER
"Do something. We gotta tail man!"
Hell yeah dude. Miami was my fave chapter even though it was the first. I loved coming home from high school and firing that game up
The hardest part was getting out of that parking garage
@@donaldjk1611 God that damned parking garage.
My first car was a 1987 Dodge Aries. It's a good thing I didn't see this video and learn I could have hooned it like a rally car.
"Babe hurry up or were going to be late for my dad's birthday!"
"Don't hurry me, safety is no joke! Now let me finish surveying these routes and identifying possible terrorist ambush locations"
Even at eight years old regarding defensive, driving my dad always told me “never put yourself into a position you can’t get out of”
Situational awareness for any driver is horribly underrated. But being observant of your surroundings, that means checking your mirror some people don’t know what they are for not for make up or popping pimples. They are for observing the traffic around you.
Some people have their mirrors pointed where all you can see it from him is the side of the car. Properly adjusted mirrors not only prevent blind spots, but also give you a better angle to glance at your surroundings 360° without turning your head.
The one sentence of advice applies to a whole lot more than driving!
You are absolutely correct!
Modern mirrors, particularly Japanese and Korean cars are 50% of the problem. They made them small to reduce drag and improve fuel economy, creating huge blind spots, even if properly adjusted. This causes people to be afraid of lane changes, so they do dumb stuff like left lane hogging and swerving at the last minute. Towing mirrors on a full-size truck are a completely different experience, particularly when properly adjusted so they look to the sides. With one glance I have complete and unambiguous information about whether it's safe or courteous to make a lane change.
I always set my side mirrors to catch a bit of the side, to see anyone reaching for the door and for ranging information.
But yeah, checking mirrors is critical. Looking in them when you hear something amiss is also a lifesaver. Heard the chirping of truck tires trying to emergency stop one rainy day. Rear view showed a buddy wasn't initially paying attention and noticed too late to stop. I had stopped with enough room that a quick look showing room to the right, I turned right, eased the gas and he managed to stop - about halfway through where my vehicle just was. Driver in the left lane looked over at me, him, then gave me a thumbs up.
What your dad said sounds like what my lawyer said when I asked him if I should get married and have kids.
the vcr tracking is also doing some evasive moves.
I recommend a bootleg turn in a safe location anytime you rent a car. It keeps the technique fresh while minimizing the wear and tear on your rig.
Plus you'll be ready to perform those maneuvers if someone attacks you in that unfamiliar car.
Also, Pick a car with a bolt pattern that matches yours. Swap the rental cars wheels with yours, and start nailing those Js and Bootlegs. Great training, and a fresh set of wheels for your car!
This could have been a 'The A Team' episode. And these days you need to use the info here just on your daily drive to work, everyone is out to get you
You couldn't do anything you see in this video in modern cars. All the nanny safety systems would lock out the electronic handbrake, keep the car from sliding, and lock you out of reverse while the computer tries to find a gear. Not to mention that hitting a curb would brake and bend every suspension geometry and put the cars low profile wheels out of round. Even modern trucks and SUVs aren't as strong anymore. Whistlindiesel has shown that.
Carpooling passengers: "Make up your mind, man! If you keep reversing directions we're never going to make the morning scrum meeting!"
That’s why I drive a 5 inch lifted 2000 4Runner it’s a tank on 33 inch wheels with no new electronics ! It will leave most trucks in the dust off road with its fully equipped long travel suspension..
@@SammyKurts-ku2ht I can't hate on Toyota. I personally have a grudge against them Nixing manuals, but they also make some very reliable autos so it balances out.
@@jacobrzeszewski6527 actually, the antilocks won't engage against the emergency brake, assuming you've bypassed its lockout.
The curb would do worse, fuel pump disconnect engages on shock.
As for strong, they're still strong vehicles, you confuse crumple zones for passenger safety with weakness. They're not tanks, but then, cars never were tanks - tanks are tanks.
17:45 "but when you're ramming,you've got to keep moving"
Word's to live by an movement on part of the rammed is also important 😊.
Yes baby don't stop
gotta love the old distorted documentary audio, most of the videos are classic bangers

Had to PIT a Land Bruiser once in a POS sedan that was little better than an ancient K car. Got to base with a wonderful embossed wheel mark on the center of my driver's door and the SUV flipped.

Ahh, the good old Plymouth Horizon. The greatest evasive driving luxury vehicle yet devised by man.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the budget level cars in this video. The slow motion K car vs bad guys using old rusty vehicles is particularly amusing.
Pretty funny looking back at those times and the simple acting but mostly decent info. I remember reading an article on Hollywood stunt driving that showed exactly how to do a forward and reverse 180 back in the md 80s. I tried it in a parking lot and with practice got pretty good at it. My friends all asked to learn it which was fun if risky at the time. Modern cars with electronic stability control often don't allow using the same techniques or need a lot more speed for the forward 180. But the reverse 180 almost always works the same as it ever did. Good luck ramming with automatic emergency braking activated.
@Ithecastic what car is that?
I wonder if you can get a quick disconnect for that stuff when you order from BMWs Authority Division?
He's using the hand brake not the transmissions park brake.
AEB can be overridden by jamming the gas pedal down again. Override logic is needed to deal with false alerts, things like shadows or blowing snow confuse camera and radar-based systems. It's all about knowing how your car is designed.
@@paulaus no need, just let your subscription lapse and they'll turn it all off for you.
I still have my vehicle here in cartel laden central Mexico thanks to this training I received.
I might not have a meat carving station but i do have a car. Finally a training video i can put into practise.
I watched and kept a copy of one produced by the British military that was more detailed on the maneuvers. The below 45 is more like 30 to 40 mph for a 180° turn. The faster you go, the more you turn, so doing it about 60 and above can get you to 360°. Of course, I had been doing this for at least 6 years by the time I watched their film. I could come down the road and put the car into a parking space on the other side facing the correct direction. The biggest thing they needed to stress was situational awareness, as most simply don't pay attention to what is happening around them.
Watched a documentary on the presidential vehicles. The j-turn with the limousine was pretty impressive. The helicopter has always been my favorite.
So I'm curious... does this all work the same with rear-wheel drive? (I assume the car in the video is front-wheel drive)
@@chadmiller1222 should work with rear wheel drive. Presidential limo is rear wheel drive. Seen a documentary where they did a j-turn with it
@@chadmiller1222 - It doesn't matter. Since you are locking the rear wheels and letting then slide out and around, FWD or RWD is irrelevant. Now if you were doing a power turn, breaking the rear tires loose from applying lots of throttle, then it would only work with RWD, but that isn't what they are doing here.
I believe I saw the same documentary. They first practiced the j turn in a Camaro, then a Suburban, finally the limousine.
I love it. I hope we could get the latest on these type of videos. Where I live this is actually a real life risk, with moderate to high probability of happening if you are flagged as a good target.
Glad this popped up in my feed. I took a class on high speed, ice, defensive, and evasive driving techniques through the school of engineering in 1979 at Ohio University. It was conducted on a closed airport runway in the winter. A ton of fun and it changed my driving for life, although I have never been a professional driver. And it caused me to teach my wife and daughters to never pull in tight behind another car at an intersection or in a "drive-up window line". Those drive up lanes are ripe for an assault or robbery - I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

My dad rented this movie from the public library when I was a young boy. I always remembered the bootlegger turn from this movie. The J turn is also pretty badass.
C’mon man, a K car? They forgot to mention to always keep a rabbit’s foot in the glove compartment at all times.
Who knew being in the army can not only get you your own driver, but also have an exciting ride!
This video did help me out one time when i was being chased by some road rager, didn't do the j turns but i used my surroundings as a advantage.
