Comments on Your Comments: NEW: How to Drive Over Speedbumps kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcBxoMia2tCwcn0.html 1. "Don't drive a lowered car then!" first off, this applies to plenty of sports cars, lowered or not. Second, there are ditches and driveways so steep even a Camry will have trouble. Third, the same principle applies for lots of vehicles even 4x4s, trailers etc. You can see a variant of the technique for 4x4s here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJ1lhpWLzpO9iJs.html And finally, your money, your choice, if you want a lowered car it's a free world. Enjoy your ride, live your best life and cruise by the haters who have nothing better to do with their miserable lives than throw negativity and judgement. Must be awful to just walk the street and be so incredibly annoyed by other people's choices you can't help but comment. I feel sorry for you guys. 2. "This is obvious how do people not know this" well, everyone has a different set of life experiences and natural talent, so no, it's not obvious to everyone, same way as the people making that point are unable to figure out this exact point. 3. Why was the car meet held there? That was just one carpark of many, and yes the organisers could have put a plank of wood down. But the driveway was driveable with the right technique, and my goal here is to spread the word of how it can be done, not mock people for not knowing. I wouldn't know how to plant roses or cook a lobster for example. Thank you all, carry on watching :-)

Not even kidding...literally the most educational, most valuable video I have watched on KZfaq in years. Getting a Lotus soon.

Finally found a video to share with my wife instead of trying to explain to her with just words. Thank you

6:06 that guy doing the angle is hilarious! Probably, he doesn't even know why they are doing it and decided to join😂

Who’s idea was it to host a car meet up that incline though, it’s like they wanted everyone to scrape their cars.

Hearing their reactions of the scraps got me 💀

I love how you explained everything. No nonsense, just plain direct to the point. All in detail. Thanks for this!

The problem is you don't know which driveways are *just* steep enough to cause that until it's too late. This means you basically have to take every single driveway at an angle if you don't wanna risk it.

I had a lowered car and it was such a pain in the arse having to navigate low curbs and speed bumps that I installed the original springs again

6:07 can't control laugh/ smile 🤣🙂😄

I live in TX and the roads are super angled and annoying. My mind naturally told me to come from an angle which has saved me from a few scrapes, this video really proves my hypothesis, video was super educational and helped!

This just showed up in my front page this morning. I bought a Golf two days ago after owning only pickup for my first 9 years of driving. Impeccable timing.

Great advice, but the hardest part is when you dont see them coming. Many times it's easy to misjudge how large a dip is.

My old 1990 Celica had ground clearence of modern crossovers and high and flat line floor front to back. I didnt have to worry about curbs or inclines it could do it all. Most older cara had such. i think its part of the reason why crossovers are so popular these days as "city cars"

😣ah! The crunch. I can’t. Great explanation. Great examples. Great video.

Thanks, Sir. Don't tell the cops, but I watched this driving 5mph down my street during construction, and I didn't scrape the bottom 😭 👏🏽

Good video. Now you have to make another one with the speed bumps, e.g. how to drive over them to minimize the impact to the car so that it would not feel so bad

As someone who doesn't have a car, this is very valuable! Thanks you

This is KZfaq done right. Best video I've come across on this platform, PERIOD.

Not even have my car yet, but this definitely will come in handy!

It scares me knowing not everyone knows this. I've been doing this since the 90s and have always assumed it was common sense in the car community. I guess not. That last clip was especially painful.

This video saved my life. And my splitter lol. I had to do a local move, the new driveway approach is steeper than the old and I drive a Porsche 991 TT Cab. I can now say I have no fear about getting the car into the driveway. This is a no nonsense completely accurate way to explain how to deal with the issue and I’m gonna send it to all my friends.

Ditto for speed bumps. But do not straighten out until you have at least one wheel up on the obstruction, peeps. The guys entering the car meet were killing me. 😂

Now this is it. Best video to watch on this topic. Very helpful if you’re in need of it!

Found this useful, was quite afraid of lowering my car in fear of scratching but now can do that with no worries. Thank you!

So simple! why did I never think of this earlier… my poor front bumper. Brilliant explanation

You legend, this is surprisingly one of the most informative videos I've seen on KZfaq for something so specific, amazing job and thanks a lot!

There’s a bridge in my town over a railway that is incredibly steep on one side, so much so that I’ve crunched my Buick Rendezvous, a crossover SUV, on it at least 10 times, until I figured this out on my own. This explains it a lot better than I ever could!

Excellent video describing your approach and angle of attack for low clearance cars. I thankfully figured this out when I bought my first corvette

Wow, you are an incredible teacher! I scraped my poor brothers fancy Jaguar and have been looking up how to drive low cars. THIS VIDEO is the best by far. You really teach what’s actually happening mathematically, show examples based on the math, and then show a ton of real life examples back to back. THANK YOU!

This video is what I was looking for. Great explanation! Thanks!!!

Great video, thanks for taking the time and effort to put all this together!

This is something I learned for my second driving lesson. Turns out a 2010 Polo has a very low approach angle!

An incredibly helpful video for anyone who owns vehicles with low ground clearance

This was amazing to visually understand! I went from a higher up steep jeep grand Cherokee.. to a tiny low Suzuki in my steep underground parkade. I do go slow but my angle needs work. No more nose scratches! Thank you!

I learned how to do this in Lumber Tycoon 2. I had to collect tons of rare blue wood and then drive with a low car for about 5 minutes. Any time i hit a wall or floor with my car had a chance for all my wood to fly all over the place. I could maybe add to this video by saying that some cars have a better angle when driving backwards. bonus points when driving diagonally backwards

My first car was already lowered when I bought it. I made these adjustments by trial and error, it's nice to visualize what I had to figure out the hard way so I can process it.

That is freaky magic. I am going to use this from now on. Thanks for saving my next car.

Not joking this video helped me way more then any other one i watch. Thanks for taking the tike and even sacrificing your own bumper to treach us noobs. You ate the man. I just to a nice car with a body kit and dont wanna wreck it. 😅

As someone who is trying to lower my first car pretty soon I want to Thankyou you so much for this very detailed and informative video

The explanation I needed. Thank you for this!

Thank you so much, the approach angle illustrations made everything very clear. I am planning to get a lowered car within a year and this will really help when the time comes.

Awesome video. Always knew to come at an angle, but loved the visuals to better understand why

Incredibly Informative

Been a mover for 5 years. Decent truck drivers, especially delivery that deal with steep driveways, know this trick when backing in.

Super helpful video!

Great video, it was very helpful. I'm going to be buying my first sports car soon (hopefully) and I always wondered how people handle driveways and speed bumps with the car that low. I'm gonna start the habit of going in at an angle now so when I get my new car I won't mess up the nose of the car.

Thank you very much for the video. I was having this issue with my car.

I learned this by experience after hearing slight scratching then I drove at angles exiting . Mine is not the bumper that hits but a mud flap on just below and behind of the wheel on a Mazda 3. Also going fast makes the car jump which hits the road.

this deserves way more views, it literally saves people money

I drive a lowered 350z everyday. I only learned from trial and error but this video helps me understand better what actually happens. Funny story. A big lifted suv copied me going over a little bump. I think he was making fun of me😂😂

Great video, thanks.

That video helped me a lot thanks i have a new car its lowered and didnt know that this was a thing with the angle

Great vid... I used this method forever...never knew exacly why it worked...but now i know why ...lol

Shocked I've not seen your channel before. This is incredibly well laid out and educational. Instant subscribe

Just switched to driving a car from driving an SUV and I needed this!!! Thank you 🙏

You're a hero!

Wow, that was so nice, thank you

I love you for this

Very very educating.

Super helpful content. Many thanks!

Brilliant !

i love how it's needed to explain how to overcome a problem they themselves created by wanting to look cool and lowering the crap out of their car 😂 best of all is that the problem is revsersable (assuming they didn't bring out the grinder)

Sending this to folks, who are screaming in my community chat they cant get of the complex without scratching. Respect.

Thanks for video. Very helpful.❤.

Damn, I was hoping to see how the kia rio in the back at 4:30 handles, because I have the same car 😅 very nice and educational video, this will really help!

this seemed painfully obvious to me - but mansplaining it is painful, so thanks for making the video. Glad I drive an SUV with clearance.

The reason for the slow is so the suspension doesn’t compress on impact, further reducing the approach angle. Also, it was interesting to see how many people stopped on crunch, and then went back down the drive edge, further increasing the damage. An extreme improvement is to be parallel to the gutter and actually use a tightly turned wheel to be the first thing up the gutter. Then you have to straighten up so the rear doesn’t impact the full kerb. It’s lucky some of those cars didn’t lose traction from lifting a drive wheel on the angle.

I just lowered my car and this is exactly what I needed, thank you.

Great video! Thank you very much! Especially since i want a mustang and there is a (negative) example with one 😄

Awesome 👌

Didnt see a portuguese vídeo about this. Thanks man!!!

This will be so helpful when i get my dream car 86 and make it more lowered with tilty wheels

Thanks 🙏🏽 this helped a lot

Look I’m a a technician to me you sound like a technical person I like it , I bought my self a C63S seems a bit low thanks for the video I will keep it 💯

This ‘angling off’ approach has an important side effect which also helps prevention of the nose grounding. Approaching on the angle means that both front wheels don’t ‘drop’ into the gutter throat at exactly the same time. Instead when ‘angling off’ each front wheel gets to drop on its own, leaving the other front corner to help carry the cars weight at that exact moment…. Can make an important difference especially when your car is really low (my Radical has an approach angle of less than 3 degrees!)

I had to put 2 steel ramps when backing down my 2014 Corvette down the driveway at my house driving up the driveway was no problem the ramps were 3 ft long 1 ft wide and 1/4 thick (2)

Great video!

Phenomenal. I’m sitting in a friends new c8 and refused to move until watching this.

Great video thanks! Shame it popped up a couple of weeks late for me 🤣 I didn't do much damage at all though, so this will be useful going forward. Cheers!

The gas station at our corner changes hands every year or so. Nobody seems to run a successful business there. Both of its entrances have steep angles. The road next to it is full of scrape marks. They should show this video at the pump while customers fill up their tanks. 🙂

great video!

Great. Thanks sir.

I am astonished that every driver does not already know this or worked it out decades ago… 😂 it still has very defined limits.

Watching this video because i have my porshe coming up in a few months!!

thank you to the noses crunched for this educational video 👍

Very interesting

Great video mate I literally not long ago bought a brz

Thank you for sacrificing your BRZ for this educational video. Can you please post on how to get up a ramp next? And when in reverse as well (as in parking to a high ramp, either in reverse or not)

So helpful 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Very good video

6:05 lmao this remembered me just 2 days ago because I did this with my dad's car, I'm used to drive my car slightly angled to avoid front bumper scratches and when I borrow my dad's car its almost an instinct to do this, its quite funny to be honest, when he drives my car it scratches all around because he is also used to drive a higher car, its interesting to see.

thank you sir! God bless

I like how a lot of these cars just have front splitters under the front bumper because then you can scrape as much as you want xD...

Getting the 2018 718 Cayman GTS, this is helpful.

Thank You very very much .

This seems to be like fashion without regard to function. It is a suburban street street you filmed and a relatively flat one at that. I & I'm sure you have encountered narrow access driveways with far more severe transitions than this example - ones that the narrowness precludes changing the approach angle. Great business for the bodywork repair shops!

6:05 That gave me a good chuckle

Love the RR Classic doing it too!

A bit late to the comments, but I own a couple Mercedes with 10 cm from the ground, all factory original. (SLK 250, Sport suspension; B 200 Sport, Avantgard Suspension - it's the regular suspension, but lowered) This way to drive has been my safeguard to avoid scratches not only under the front fender, but all under the car. Here we have speed bumps which are not standard by any means, and the driveway of the condo where I live is at a steep angle. Much appreciated.
