Definitely should have slowed down around the houses at 1:17, looks like there are blind driveways there so the risk for potential hazards is very high. I know the camera can distort distances, but in my opinion it looked like you carried too much speed through a lot of corners with poor visibility. If there was a pedestrian or tractor on the other side of the road at the worst possible moment, I don't think you would have had enough time to react.
There’s three left handers where the road is rising on entry where vision falls to around 2 seconds where it’s a bit ropey for joggers, who like to be out early too.
This man consistently displays poor and sometimes bad driving habits and then puts them out on RUclips as “good driving techniques”. He’s often dangerous.
Don't forget that he is commuting, which means that he probably knows these roads like the back of his hand. Also, you can tell that he filmed early in the morning with no one around.
Agreed, not cautious enough on a couple of left handers where the road was rising. Vision down to a couple of seconds in at least two points and speed not adjusted accordingly.
I have just unsubscribed. I cannot take seriously a driver who recommends straight lining roundabouts for fun, keeps to the centre line on blind bends with heavy foliage and has a tenuous grip on the steering wheel with finger tips, one hand or no hands while gesticulating.
Hey, Mick, I'm really enjoying your videos, actually just ordered new megane rs trophy same clour. Still selling in my country 😂. Would be nice to see some more of the car from outside of the cabin.
I really love what you do for us all. You inspire confidence and teach safety simultaneously. That's the best job anyone could ask for❤ lots of 💕 from Kenya.
@@terryable-hh4ck I know right. Especially Around the CBDs In Mombasa and Nairobi 😂 any help can do😂😂😂. I already have a driver's license but I'm terrified to drive around the CBDs 😂 wouldn't dare🥶
I want your car’s transmission. Since giving up the manual mine have all been : “oh you’re approaching an intersection and there’s a gap. I’ll just go ahead and put you in top gear with Eco mode. You’re welcome!” Or “some slow traffic ahead so how about I jump between third and fourth like a kangaroo with ADHD?”
I literally scanned throughout the entire footage 2x in slow motion (x0.25) to find the exact point where the speed is Sean on the screen where we have a slight Sean on the screen where we have a glitch shows the speed. 1:24 it is
If that were a clip on the Nürburgringring it would be fine, but on public roads disabling your speedo and accelerating hard through so many slow road markings and past people's houses and drive ways is not a great way to show how good a driver you are. it just shows how great a sociopath you are, nobbish at the very best.
Hey there Mick. From which beautiful country are you from? I want to request you to make a video on engine performance Vs altitude. I don't think I'm the only one that doesn't understand this. I have read somewhere that the car loses power with altitude. I'm from Namibia I own a golf 5 r32 that kicks out 250 hp. So does it mean my car will perform best in Germany for example where altitude is low? Because here in Namibia for example our city Windhoek sits at an insane altitude of just over 1500 m while Berlin altitude is impressive at 34 m. Does this also mean I will get different dyno results from the two places? And yes they also say NA engines lose more compared to turbo engines. So based on that I'm not sure my car will give me 250 hp on dyno then here. It should be way less.
This only applies to internal combustion engines. Roughly speaking, the closer you are to sea level the more power your car can make but that's limited by the tune it has. This is because there is an ideal air to fuel ratio that you need to get in order for the engine to operate efficiently. As for why altitude matters, as you get higher away from Earth's surface, air density is lower i.e. there's less air to breathe in. For a car, I don't know how high before power begins to go down. For a turbocharged car, a turbocharger compresses air before it gets sent to the engine's combustion chamber so physically there's more air than in a NA engine going in. Which is also why turbos make more power than NA. I dunno where your 250 hp estimate came from but it's reasonable to assume that if it's imported from Germany then it will feel more powerful if you drive there because of this. Pikes peak racecars have to consider this, but since EVs don't use air, they don't have this issue.
Your "nope cover" jumps around, revealing some potentially incriminating data. You can go ahead and manually select those few frames. Shouldn't be much work as it only happens for a few frames at a time.
i thought you are "slow" guy with fast car "crying" on youtube about people driving faster then speedlimit+10. Now i see that you are actually petrolhead but using your brain lmao. Respect
@@Scotty-vs4lfhypothetically i think hypothetically it was hypothetically national hypothetical speed limit which is a hypothetical 60 or 70 hypothetical miles per hypothetical hours
@@MickDrivesCars nice lol. you might be able to physically block it with a sticker or something, that would make editing easier but ofc u wouldnt be able to see how fast youre going. and it could leave residue which would be pretty ugly
I'm surprised to see that THAT's your foggiest day of the year! Ok, visibility isn't ideal, but it looks good on camera, I have the impression that you could probably always stop in your line of visibility? Granted, I didn't analyse every second of video closely, just overall impression.
Hello, love your channel. Very peaceful and calming videos that give great and relaxed insight on driving. Would you ever by chance do a video on close quarters driving, or even distance judgement during close quarters driving?
@@MickDrivesCars I mean, yeaa 😅 They are back roads. I actually meant to say "mountain roads", hairpins and twisty roads. High altitude regions, I guess
Авто/Мото
Good example of a considerate way to have fun on the road, early in the morning when there's basically no one around.
Ethical petrolhead vibes
For sure. I usually travel for about 30/40 minutes on a Sunday evening and there’s very few cars around it’s nice to have a good drive
I used to drive from Nottingham to Heathrow in the middle of the night or very early morning over mixed highways. There is ALWAYS someone around.
Yeah but IO get up at 5am for work, so I do not want to get up early again on weekends to be able to drive lol
youre still getting pulled over if a cop clocks you doing 40 over the limit lmao
Now, that’s what I call SPIRITED DRIVING!
I think the best suggestion you've given me is to go early in the morning. Gives me an incentive to get my sleep schedule in order.
Drive safe mate!

Love your content, was sitting all day waiting for this hahaha
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@MickDrivesCars I did bro thanks for replying :D
I mean, you know that one can also calculate speed by the road markings and RPM, right? :D
Love driving (sensible like this clip) on this road. Might catch you there with the MX-5 sometime :)
When the quiet guy starts talking (but actually, he's polite):
What?
What a beautiful road
if i drove like that here i would have to make repairs on my car every 3 months - the roads are horrendous

Haha too true!
I will say, for spirited driving it has to be in manual mode. Every shift in this video was me, not the car.
Awesome road that. The roads are terrible at the minute just caving in, potholes everywhere really startin to grate me hahah
Far too fast for the road
It’s literally empty and dry
"Spirited driving" is one of the best euphemisms I've come across. Yeah nah, it's no excuse.
Sounds nice. N goes well. What engine is that?
Pure enjoyment

and its still 57 so not speeding
What road is this... Would love to attack this with my Clio 😅😅

@@MidnightGreen4649 makes much sense. Thanks.
if this is your path to work your lucky bro
I wish! It's just a title :)
Yo if your having the nope sign it bugs out and shows your speed quite early on too.
After like 2 hours of messing with it that's the best I could do 😂
what was the speed? 😅
@@MickDrivesCars Ahh fair I understand lol
The speed is edited and the vid is sped up😉
Your "nope cover" jumps around, revealing some potentially incriminating data.
You can go ahead and manually select those few frames. Shouldn't be much work as it only happens for a few frames at a time.
Be careful of the camera van in Leighton 😉 See you in Atcham..
:D
Ping me on insta if you wanna go for a drive sometime
i thought you are "slow" guy with fast car "crying" on youtube about people driving faster then speedlimit+10. Now i see that you are actually petrolhead but using your brain lmao. Respect
Definitely not me who made this post late nooooooooo
Mick learn how to left foot brake, make your life much easier!
Literally in the process of this now, a mate got me to start trying and it does feel amazing
First
"NOPE"
😎
@@MickDrivesCarshypothetically what was the "speed limit" on that road
@@Scotty-vs4lfhypothetically i think hypothetically it was hypothetically national hypothetical speed limit which is a hypothetical 60 or 70 hypothetical miles per hypothetical hours
Hypothetically the limit is 60
And hypothetically the NOPE sign literally has to be on screen the entire video lol
@@MickDrivesCars nice lol. you might be able to physically block it with a sticker or something, that would make editing easier but ofc u wouldnt be able to see how fast youre going. and it could leave residue which would be pretty ugly
I love starting early for Long drives. Morning dose of spirited driving is the best!!!🤝
This is terrible. Just awful! Who are you people that have their ACC set to 20C+!?
Megane's weird. Anything below 20C and it's constantly blowing refrigerator air
love how you point the signals like you were a japanese train driver
Could watch this on for hours

It looks very different on camera compared to real life unfortunately
Hello, love your channel. Very peaceful and calming videos that give great and relaxed insight on driving. Would you ever by chance do a video on close quarters driving, or even distance judgement during close quarters driving?
God I wish my work commute was like this. Working in a city sucks balls.
I've always wondered how these POV videos are captured, do people use those camera glasses or a GoPro 😭
GoPro, up side down on a hat clip, right in front of my face. Very annoying.
Considering buying an apple vision pro and doing it with that 😂
Take it easy Mick, that's some serious s#/t rigjt thete!
me every morning
Id love to see a pov of you driving on a racetrack

Love to see some early morning spirited driving action 😌
Hit the backroads Mick, would love to see it
Wait what? Are these not back roads?
@@MickDrivesCars I mean, yeaa 😅 They are back roads. I actually meant to say "mountain roads", hairpins and twisty roads. High altitude regions, I guess
75mph :(
ok but like when did we ask
You're f- ing crazy driving like that on such narrow roads.
You mean driving correctly?
Hehe 😈
Bloody Megane is 1.91m wide, without the mirrors. Very little margin for error.
That's not a narrow road.
not crazy just driving properly cars easily capable
Love your videos mate. Can you please do a video on driving with reduced / disabled driver assistance features like ESC?
Everything was off in this video mate :)
But I might do an educational video about TC/ESC
