Recently ran across your podcast and have been selectively catching a number of past episodes. Your emphasis on learning struck home. I went from poverty to Chairman & CEO of an NYSE company. I retired at 56. I had, and still have, one overriding life principle: while awake be learning.
Great podcast! and I can say from personal experience that "momentum is everything " and " break before you steer" works great to avoid an accident. I had 2 close calls in just under a year, neither of which was my fault. I actually didn't know how I maintained control in either, until you mentioned tapping the breaks first. Thinking back on them, I did that. I just assumed I did it in hopes of maintaining control, never thought about the weight shift playing a role in it. It's nice to know that I did it right.
I just want to say thank you for your helpful content with real life examples and applications. Your content stand out from other personal development channels that I watch and seek. My 8 year old is fascinated as well so we always look forward to watch your videos. We wish you even bigger success!
My two cents... Driver should try to maintain steer tires rolling(static friction), prevent steer tires from sliding/slipping (kinetic friction) during steering. Especially on slippery surface(rain, snow, ice). You did say "tapping the brake" not sure if you meant push brakes to transfer center of gravity to the front tires and then releasing before tires start sliding/slipping.
yes, modern technology has really changed driving. You are so right that the safety systems antilock brakes anti-slip are for people who are not a natural machine operator. Luckily, the anti-slip can be shut off because you will never get out of mud or snow in New England with that system.
Thank you so much for this video! The defensive/offensive driving skills are something I wish were taught prior to issuance of a road license. I would argue that knowing the vehicle drivetrain layout or weight distribution of the blocking vehicles IS important. You stated that vehicles like Porsches and Lamborghinis are still nose heavy, however their specifications say otherwise. I'm sure your information is accurate, however the physics I remember suggests that mid/rear engine vehicles would be best moved aiming for the steerage wheels. The damage to the steering could be an added benefit. I have enjoyed binging your podcasts and find great value from your insights. Thank you Mr. Bustamante!!
Grew up in the northern Midwest, part of learning to drive is learning how to drive on black ice at high to medium speed. 😂 “tap the break”, we had that drilled into us. Scary fun, more scary.
Hey andrew! really love your content, ideas and experience you bring to us! been listening to you for a month now and have learned so much from you already! Love you podcasts but have you considered video podcasts? with guests too? I think it would bring a great element to conveying your messages with emotion and body language! Best wishes to you and your family!
Skid shoveling out of the turn. U literally explained what i do and always do as a professional driver. I don't ont understand how people aren't aware of these points you make in this video. Its scary how careless and amateur people are behind the wheel. I am naturally gifted and I say this in a non bragging manner. I just can freaking drive. I'm aware of everything around me coming and going (coming up from behind and going past) predictions can be best made in a responsible manner. Idk I love driving. I drove my new dodge 200,000 miles in 2 years just practicing and going nowhere besides my crummy job as a thermal molecular realignment engineer a.k.a stress reliever.
200,000 miles in two years? That would be an average of 274 miles per day. At an average speed of 55mph you would be driving 5 hours per day. Unless your commute to work is two and a half hours one way, I call BS
Great information, love learning from him very good teacher. Maybe one possible exception to the engine block / front heavy vehicle would be a Electric Vehicle like Tesla or Ioniq bc of the heavy battery packs laid in the bottom of those vehicles.
Andrew, I've been listening to your interviews for hours today. Absolutely fascinating. Regarding the Porsche/Lamborghini at 21:10 - most luxury cars are mid engine and rear wheel drive. Does the "aim for the rear" rule still apply for mid engine rear wheel drive cars? Bonus question/pop quiz. What does "MR2" refer to regarding Toyota MR2? ;)
Right, but most sliding off the road happens when one gets back axle losing grip, and then if I understand correctly breaking is worst you can do. It's better to try to counter and use full gas. Works especially fantastic on 4wd.
Sliding happens when the vehicles kinetic energy pushes the tires outside their circle of traction, which is a function of vehicle weight, tire composition and road conditions. Which end slides first (understeer or oversteer) is dependent on vehicle weight distribution, momentary dynamics and drivetrain layout. FWD vehicles tend to understeer, RWD vehicles tend to oversteer. But anything is possible with enough stupidity and persistence. 😉
All good advice but if you hit the rear off a suv doing 40 you will move it out the way but your probs not going much further after it. If your in an armored vehicle you slow down aim for the rear hit it around 5 to 10 mph then floor it, the car will pivot round there shouldn't be much damage to your vehicle and off you go. If your not in an armored vehicle I guess you just have to hope for the best and for christ sake turn off the air bags or your nit going far after it either 😉
Do you know what’s crazy the factory for all cars on the steering column has this lever on the left side you can flick it up it goes right down it goes left I am utterly amazed at how many people don’t use it if you guys didn’t know it’s called a turn signal
Mr. Bustamante, I think it’s important to address defeating airbags in they event you have to run a roadblock. Otherwise you won’t make it through because of the propulsion of the airbags.
Any ideas for less car injuries? - Smaller roads, bigger sidewalks, lower speed limits - More walkable communities - Better public transportation Govt: NOPE Let them have cars as shields and homes! 😂
How do you prevent the manufacturer of the vehicle from using the satellite update system from stranding you so the people who paid them can kill you? 😑 ...asking for a friend

Ah. Great motivation 🎉❤
Momentum is also everything in life
It also helps to have lots of buttons on your dashboard: One for machine guns one for rockets and another one to deploy oil slick out the rear

Don't even get me started on the fuel cost'$,
that makes it an even more outrageous claim.

Useful
Great information, love learning from him very good teacher. Maybe one possible exception to the engine block / front heavy vehicle would be a Electric Vehicle like Tesla or Ioniq bc of the heavy battery packs laid in the bottom of those vehicles.
Excellent info, should be part of any driver's class or test.
Awesome podcasts Andy.
Thanks for the advice.

Great information.
The traction lost to braking is about the same gained by the shift in weight.
Right, but most sliding off the road happens when one gets back axle losing grip, and then if I understand correctly breaking is worst you can do. It's better to try to counter and use full gas. Works especially fantastic on 4wd.

Ooooooo i am going to try this

Very useful info!
I really enjoy your stuff. I don't see myself being in a position to hire you, but thank you for all the great information!
I do all three of these things in my mail truck but instead of hitting cars I hit trash cans
When I was a T6, I would push trash cans and also made a little LLV to CBU contact. 🤪 📬
I think everyone should learn and do the "Jim Rockford J Turn" at least once in their lives. :)
Even when the motor's in the rear?
“When in doubt…gas it….;)”
I now have an excuse for driving a twenty-seven year old vehicle with no anti-lock brakes, alarms, etc.
I am not broke... I am an elite operator.
how do I find out more about this tactical driving class?
His website
@@Bentroo_006 I don't see the driving course on his website. just streetclass which isn't driving related. podcats. and lectures
Intro music?

Accelerate out
Porsches have the engine in the back... Lamborghinis are mid-engined with the transaxle in the back...
Any ideas for less car injuries?
- Smaller roads, bigger sidewalks, lower speed limits
- More walkable communities
- Better public transportation
Govt: NOPE Let them have cars as shields and homes!
😂
There's a *whole* history of automobile and fuel interests discouraging those efforts, too.
👍🏾
21:00 Clearly doesn't understand how a Porsche or Lamborghini work
Sure, there are exceptions. Many electric cars, too. Or Alpina cars where all 4 wheels turn. Same principles apply.
Cmon mom let's go for a drive
*aims for the rear*
Urrrmmmm lambos have their engines in the rear.
Hi, Andrew. You have a doppelganger in Glasgow who I saw recently if you need a body double :))
How do you prevent the manufacturer of the vehicle
from using the satellite update system from stranding
you so the people who paid them can kill you? 😑
...asking for a friend
Need new intro and background
