FTAO anyone that ever posts videos of their driving

Post by mik »

On the assumption that you’ve moved on from the “milking cows” steering technique you were taught to pass your test, please ensure you apply rotational steering in the CORRECT manner to avoid me mumbling/grumping/screaming at my screen (depending on the level of hand shuffling that occurs during mashing and sawing).

HarryM often elicits a mumble.

Hands should always be at quarter-to-three when both are on the wheel. It works perfectly. <chef’s kiss>

But awkward having both hands at a quarter to 3. Are you placing your hands on top of each other?

You only place your hands on top of each other if you have 3 hands. Do you have 3 hands David?

This is only required in a facelifted Tesla Model S or Kitt.

How would I place 2 hands at 2:45?

I would place one hand at 2:45 and the other at 9:15 if the wheel were analogous to a clock.

Drivers and CGs often talk to having their hands positioned at quarter to three, or ten to two. Like the hands on a clock face. This requires one hand to replicate the location of the hour hand, and another to replicate the location of the minute hand. The video provides an excellent visual aid for this.

Please show me how you place your singular hand at 2:45, and how that hand position might be adjusted for - let’s say - 4:45? :)

2:45 can be represented with the hour hand alone. But this is advanced watch reading technique and if I had to explain it I would have to kill you afterwards.

Everyone knows the correct method is to let go completely.

I tend to do a mixture of both. In a proper code brown moment i don't even think about it - it just as quick as I can get the lock on. See below (10m:07) when I hit oil on the circuit. Other footage I've got from the S1 when doing deliberate skids at the hairpin i let the wheel rotate itself.
