Lol 😂

I thought the same thing, he looked so disappointed 😂

At the bare minimum, the winter safety class was excellent. Took it last Friday.

Thanks Wil!

Reminds me of my first drive in an automatic car. My left foot automatically tried to clutch from first to second gear, and we were up against the windscreen.

I learned to threshold brake while in the late stages of learning to left foot brake, so weirdly enough it's easier for me to do it with the left foot than the right. Too bad the speedometer dies when I pull the ABS fuse ahah.

Man, lucky you. My left foot braking is just on or off )

I grew up with a go-cart, so left foot braking was normal to me when i learned to drive.. I drive a standard now, and I find myself using either foot for different situation.. If I don't need to use the clutch, I'm left foot braking..

@@ProtonFilms_Mark disconnect the big 30A fuse for the ABS pump motor (on or near the battery) instead of the control system...

man I hope not...they will definitely brake too much

Ultimately we decide by what we buy. Personally I prefer pre 2000s models. it’s how we pass these skills on to next gen that will decided what gets left behind

It's the sort of thing you learn to "feel" any time you take a car to the limits of its performance (test pilots call this "pushing the envelope", in reference to the flight envelope of an aircraft). Putting a posh name on it and teaching it as an explicit technique bypasses a lot of the trial and error, but can also act to limit the overall car control skill in many drivers (purely psychological).

Lane changing, blind spots, and low speed braking seem to be going that way too due to safety technology and regulations

@@oueb As a 90s JDM fan I agree. Also, restoration and care is the way to go.

I've seen many videos like these, locked up tires and gently slifing into the opposite lane. It's too late to slam on the brakes Karen and turn Karen.

Your comment doesn’t make sense. You are rightfully saying that you have to adapt to stiffier shoes etc. but you are appreciating that he is doing it in hiking boots. Yeah, but he is wearing these issues quite often so he doesnt need to adapt.... But yeah, these kinda comments (which are positive towards the video creator) will always get upvoted..

@@ICEMANZIDANE well it wasn’t meant for upvotes if that’s what you are insinuating. I just felt that it’s cool that he is able to function so well because a critical part of driving is feedback. It’s like adapting to a car with electric powersteering that is numb. You can still do great but takes more effort to know what’s happening. Of course he has adapted already but you can still admire how well he has adapted. I know people that practically live in heavy duty work boots and they can’t drive for crap wearing them. 🤷🏻‍♂️ still a skill imo.

​@@ICEMANZIDANEyou are a miserable, insufferable person

Thank you for sharing your story!

The video is only 15:52........... 😀✌️

@@bigmikenbr oh like I'm gonna be productive immediately after it's over and not pull up a rally video? 😂

Haha owned a Saab myself and did it many times

Thanks!

lul do it if you have the money

Thank you!!

Thanks Christopher!

very controversial subject there. many argue that in an emergency situation you might press both pedals and could cause an even worse outcome. but I'm really not sure

@@Pugzei Its possible no doubt, but I also know friends who drive just with their right and got into an accident at a traffic light because a bee landed on em and she slammed the accelerator rather than brake. Stress could make you do irrational things, and since driving is meant to be low stress you dont practice those situations or hone your skill. I would love to hear data on your point, since ive heard it too, but dont know if there is any actual evidence to if its happened enough or not.

@@BaioWithMayo I'm still a fairly new driver. however, yes I will admit that left-foot braking saved my ASS from an idiot that backed up right into the street last second. I stopped left foot braking because my car had a mechanical issue and the damn wheel just snapped off while I was driving and grinded against the road. and now I have irrational fear that my left foot caused it 🥲 I don't actually think it caused it directly but is it possible that it had an influence?

@@Pugzei My bet would be the lugs weren't tightened or something just rusted out, the only thing left foot braking could do is increase brake fade/wear if you dont get off the accelerator while braking (basically overlap) or increase wear because of being harder on the brakes. anything falling off though, 100% not the direct cause haha. And as a new driver its tough but you will get over those fears, I spun a car 2 weeks into my license and believe me that is tough to get over but you will, now im 23 and havent had an incident like that since, cuz we all are here to learn

It is not cheap to come here but we are told the value for the price is great. We include full coverage insurance and all the costs to have you drive our cars hard for a whole day. Hopefully some day we will see you here.

@@Teamoneilrally I imagine that any cost is worth it really I guess I meant getting into rally all in general

good advice youll feel it easier in the pedal than your wheel. thanks

We don't have one, but we need to do one sometime soon!

Dont jam on them unless you want to get the car close to sideways...trail braking or just braking to get the weight on the front is going to help you in a turn to have the weight on the front to give you turning grip on the way out of the turn

You definitely want to build brake pressure up smoothly but quickly, just like you said, so the weight transfers and you can brake harder.

I have an older car (2008 Nissan Murano) but it still has an automatic transmission, and I’ve found that the brakes, even after new pads, are so incredibly different than even my brother’s automatic 2010 Chevy Traverse. You feel the weight of the brakes better? If that makes sense. Road conditions are easier to read by feel, and even with ABS, I can get really close to where the threshold is. On my mom’s 2017 Armada? Not a chance. Neither with my dad’s 2018 Explorer. They don’t allow for the same degree of accuracy, even though all of them have automatics and ABS.

yes it is possible but you are misunderstanding threshold braking concept, the threshold braking means brake with the maximum grip avaible which means if you have a Dodge Neon 2004 and you brake around 70 % percent without locking up the wheels or activating the abs this is the maximum grip avaible while braking, in a Dodge Neon 2019 if you feel the wheels locking up or activating the abs a little for example at 50% it means your maximum braking point and grip level while braking is below 50%, thats what threshold braking is, with the last part i think you didnt understand the concept, every car is different so you can lock up early or later, so about the feeling in the brakes, you need to put your heel in the floor and keep it in there to control the brake pressure, i drove many modern cars and every car have a different feel in the brake pedal as you said those feel so soft, so threshold braking is the same as when you left foot brake in a manual you need to drive a while and feel the pedals for example if you are in a circuit you need to brake in different points and see how it goes until you find the point where your wheels lock up a little of course do it in a safe place and have a safe pace to avoid any accident, it takes time to understand a car and the best way to do it is driving it.

If it clips on your feet you've hit the threshold...and Tcs will just let you spin your tires

i think it depends on the car, because if you press the clutch you stop early if you dont lock up the wheels, or at least i readed this somewhere, so basically it depends on your skills to understand the grip levels

Yes and no you wont technically have more grip but clutch in is essentially neutral so you wont get forward momentum/tirespin which will make the car overal more controlled

Actual stopping distance should be the same on paper BUT: If you had to do 70 to a full stop, it's probably faster with the clutch in Then your brain can only worry about the brake pressure and you'll do it really well If you try to shift down a bunch of times simultaneously, that multi-tasking might detract from the quality of your braking

It's a personal choice, but if you are driving on dirt or snow a lot it might be good. The best thing to do is put the ABS on a switch, so you can turn it on or off.

He's covered it before in a previous video. It's a good way to settle the chassis, or get weight on the front, and with a turbo car it will keep the boost up. It's no harder on anything than braking normally

@@antonroux6737 there's no engineering to explain. You're using the brakes. That puts a little wear on the pads, but only a tiny amount. If you do it a lot you risk overheating them, but otherwise it's no more stressful on the car than normal braking

@@antonroux6737 you're overcomplicating it. If you apply 15% brake with the throttle floored it will apply the same stress as applying 15% with the throttle closed. As far as torque, I assume you're taking about the drivetrain, which is exactly what it's designed to handle. It doesn't care if it comes from the brakes or the cars mass resisting acceleration. As I said, the only problem you'll have is faster pad wear, and if you do it to extremes you'll run into brake fade, boiling brake fluid, and red hot rotors.

@@antonroux6737 you just dont want to let it rest on there by accident so keep the left foot off if you arent using it actively and you wont get extra wear

@@antonroux6737 I dont think there would be too much of a difference but it would add heat and minor wear to the brake pads as you said...still imo would have to be happening ALOT like for thousands of miles to notice

You would have to install in adjustable proportioning valve to control the front - rear brake balance.

@@Teamoneilrally what if partly disable ABS on one of the axles just for autoadjusting balance? Does such idea makes any sense? Or its still better to go full manual?

Lsd preload at 10% I believe stock in most dirt series cars

yup, skills rust quickly

It doesn't work much in real cars.

This lesson is for every driver in every situation. There are hundreds of reasons you might need this on the street. Animals, pedestrians, other cars, winter driving, potholes... Every driver should know threshold braking, and should absolutely use it on the street when appropriate.
