Tiff was a classic example of someone who drives to a very high standard doesn't drop very much after a few drinks. The worry is when sober people struggle to drive normally, after a few drinks they don't stand a chance.
Lane Hogger well alcohol is a depressant in itself I could imagine that would be a bad combination. I think it should be illegal to drive whilst overly tired as it’s very dangerous
On the long high speed test, Tiff has an advantage having competed in the 24 hours of Le Mans some 14 times, where human endurance is as important as vehicle endurance.
Driving tired. I used to have Few drinks after I finished my bar shift at 3 am at the end of a week doing construction full time. I've never fallen asleep or crashed after I had two beers and headed home. I have totaled two Cars and nearly died in my last accident after I drifted into sleep on the highway doing 70mph in my 01 f-250 utility body truck. I hit the median and rolled the truck over a few times. My ladder rack and my guardian angel is why I'm able to write this message
Having done both, I'd say tired. When I was young I was in a band and had to drive after a gig. I was shattered and started seeing things on the motorway. People running etc. Then I've driven drunk as a teen and could get from a-b, but not well. I don't drink at all now. I'm 60 and it's not worth it. Plus if you're tired. Stop and have an hour's sleep. It's better than crashing.
Thank you gentlemen for the study :) Both being so tired that one shuts one's eyes and douses off and driving drunk has the tendency to make reaction times longer - as such, in my opinion both are dangerous. If one needs to take a trip but is after a long day, a few coffees (or teas), frequent stops to get fresh air, or stopping somewhere safely and taking power naps is advised. In Hungary we have zero tolerance,so do I concur; have a beer or a glass of wine, or drinks you fancy .. just for the love of us all; don't sit behind the wheel. Your judgemental abilities may become impaired as well as your reactions, noone wants to end up in the ditch in a wreck.
It depends on the tiredness too. Have a few nights in a row of 4hrs sleep or, say, a week of them and see how you go. It's murder, personal experience.
I've got experience. Rumble straps woke me up on the highway. Another time I almost flipped my truck om backroads when my truck drifted off the road when I had dozed off, the sudden shaking off mu truck woke me up and I carefully nudged it back onto the road.
I've done both, I would choose drunk driving at any point in time if I had to choose. That feeling when you have your eyes open, yet you don't see anything in front of you, is something I don't want to experience too many times.
It's best not to have a nap in your normal seating position/driver's seat as your body will become accustomed to that position which could be dangerous for when you continue driving. Change your seating position if taking a nap such as reclining the seat or sitting in the back.
I drove extremely tired once in July. I was in 3 different concerts 3 days in a row as a volunteer, and the 3rd day I spent the whole night cleaning the place up. I wasn't alone in my car, so others would see me falling asleep. It also happened to me to be driving drunk, and the deal is that when I get drunk at night, this will make me feel more tired than what I really am. Of course, in my country if you're caught driving tired, it is much worse than getting caught driving drunk. If you're driving drunk, then your penalty depends on how much above the alcohol limit you are. However, if you're caught driving tired, then you're likely to face a €3000 fine, or 2 years in jail, or both jail time and fine
Also, just to make a point, there are multiple levels of intoxication and tiredness. One glass over the limit or five ? Tired from hard manual labor or little to no sleep three nights in a row ? From mu experience about driving under alc. influence, the very best thing that one can do is to be honest to himself ( "I`m boozed but i have to hold my horses "). On the other hand tiredness is taken very liberally ("Eeeh is just yawn")
It’s interesting to note that the type of mistakes made were very different between tired and drunk drivers. (smaller more predictable mistakes for tired individuals, potentially more dangerous errors but less predictable when intoxicated). I wonder perhaps if that’s backed up by other research.
It would be interesting to be able to do a test like this myself. I admit i have driven after drinking (not drunken, obviously, but 6 beers is well over the limit). It was bad judgement to do so, i'm not proud of it and will damn sure never do it again. While driving i felt fine, but i was very aware i was over the limit and my reaction time might be compromised, i drove much more carefull than i would've done when sober. Here in the Netherlands you can have 2 glasses of beer (about one bottle of beer) and drive, that's the limit. The other side of what i've just written here, is that i once parked my car and walked home after i drunk 1 beer (so was well within the legal limits) but behind the wheel i didn't feel i was fully able to drive. And if you don't think you're fully able to drive, you really shouldn't.
Even though I've never drink , I've driven for 2 days without even a nap and I can say that it's like you get more distracted at least while on the road but I didn't felt road rage nor did I crashed , but still I would not drive for 2 days strait again.
No no . But you feel strange i guess was like feeling that things were a little more distant even though they weren't apart from that nothing else. Thanks for asking though 😊 I would like to make an appeal here to everyone that uses the cloth masks . Try and make the cloth mask more oval conical and use some sort of flexible plastic or iron on the nose piece . It will avoid to leak air from the sides of the cheek and sides of the nose . No one is doing that and as far as I can see I'm the only one that made something about this . It is very easy and cheap to do it .
Aquele Do Honda masks are useless because cloth isn’t a filter that will filter out virus particles or anything like that. And droplets can go through them as well so a waste of time
People tolerances are different each other. I think tired condition is more dangerous. Drunk also, but drunk can be avoided, while tired can happened in the middle of driving.
I know how driving tired really is! I drove in that condition twice, and it is very dangerous. Keeping eyes open is very hard, and it takes will to keep them open and not let yourself close them juust for a second, as your brain tells you. I closed them for a second, and the next time I opened them, I was 2 lines away from my line and almost completelly stopped. Thankfully it was at night at wide highway. So, from my experience, you are not controlling your surroudings for quite long periods of time from time to time, when you are sleepy. And you also feel angry over every insignificant thing.
All depends. A couple of drinks vs all nighter tired? Rather take the risk of the ticket for a couple drinks. Full on hammered vs a little bit sleepy? Rather stop for a cup of coffee. Now hammered drunk, vs all nighter sleepy vs high? High, atleast if I crash it will be at 15mph instead of 90.
I wonder if you're tired you can concentrate and keep it together for a while but for longer drives you simply can't keep up the required concentration level?
How tired is tired? Like I was so tired that I would slur my speech and walk weird. But that was on 2-3 hours of sleep for multiple days straight. So, is that more tired than the tired they felt? Probably.
People that waste their live by drink driving for example and die, should automatically be classed as food have their meat stripped from the bones, and sold in butchers as wasted live meat, Cheap and chewy.
For people who are good at driving its very dangerous. Alcohol can help you relax initially and the urge to push the car especially when you're in a sports car is very hard to resist. Just one straightaway or a corner is usually where they get overconfident. Seen it all with race car drivers after a couple drinks.
@ if you talk about illegal, definitely its drunk driving, but i very well know how you feel when you are driving continously for many hours without sleep, I know very well when you are going to fell asleep on steering wheel because I have tested myself to the limits. Untill when your mind fell asleep while driving, not intensionally but now I know my limits and am fully aware of my driving capabilities. So by experience i am saying this.

Exactly. Hardly proves anything that someone who is in the top 1% of the top 1% of drivers is able to drive well even when somewhat inebriated.
Well said, Lucas.
No.. high performing / good drivers can turn reckless and dangerous when behind the wheel too.
@@BenDover-io9vg You are right, it’s his (Tiff's) driving skills *along* with his high level of discipline.
What about drunk and tired!
Lane Hogger well alcohol is a depressant in itself I could imagine that would be a bad combination. I think it should be illegal to drive whilst overly tired as it’s very dangerous
You’ll fall asleep before you even get to your car lol 😂
This. Most drunks get drunk at night when they're more likely to be sleep deprived, so that could be a contributor.
On the long high speed test, Tiff has an advantage having competed in the 24 hours of Le Mans some 14 times, where human endurance is as important as vehicle endurance.
yeah
surprised theres no comments about karen disturbing sleep
this is where the Karen Meme was invented 😂
For a channel with over 300k subs, you're very bland aren't ya ?
Being woken up in the middle of ther night by a Karen - what a nightmare!
The trick is to play lots of racing games when you're drunk, then your reflexes are trained.
olly kilo need for speed
Hell yea.
Ive been drinking since i was 13. And i was top 100 in the world on Forza Horizon 2. And i would race while pretty hammered
Games like beamng
Haha, but then you will forget how to drive when you are sober)

Also, tiredness doesn't go away. Your liver cannot process exhaustion like it can ethanol.
Thank you gentlemen for the study :)

and the difference between one glass of beer and a joint?
Major
What are the effects of driving stoned 5th gear classic, go see it you can drive perfectly while stoned
tired is 100x worse ive done both, in a engineering job i worked about 34 hours then did a 5 hour drive
bobyboy191 ever dreamed about driving while driving
@@BigpurrEli lol no but you ever wake up in a balance panic i have woke up (in bed) and gone for a clutch and brake that isnt there
Repeat the experiment with someone that is completely shitfaced and someone who's been awake for 24h straight
That would be extremely interesting
the magic of drunk driving you'll never know how you got home
It depends on the tiredness too. Have a few nights in a row of 4hrs sleep or, say, a week of them and see how you go. It's murder, personal experience.
Bear in mind, it was just over the legal limit. They were not plastered.
I've got experience. Rumble straps woke me up on the highway. Another time I almost flipped my truck om backroads when my truck drifted off the road when I had dozed off, the sudden shaking off mu truck woke me up and I carefully nudged it back onto the road.
2021 video : drinking and driving VS texting and driving

Its not a question of whats worse.
Its a question of judging your own situation before you enter your car.
Even though I've never drink , I've driven for 2 days without even a nap and I can say that it's like you get more distracted at least while on the road but I didn't felt road rage nor did I crashed , but still I would not drive for 2 days strait again.
Aquele Do Honda did you start to hallucinate?
No no . But you feel strange i guess was like feeling that things were a little more distant even though they weren't apart from that nothing else.

Not as bad as driving when the seizure is kicking in full swing, honestly
well no shit? Thanks..
If you have uncontrollable seizures, you shouldn't be driving. Full stop.
Severe alcohol withdrawal.
Tiffs Cute when he's Drunk Lol
😃😃😂😁👍👍👍
I got an ad for beer before the video lmfao

Now its texting and driving vs talking on phone and driving, vs drunk driving.
I choose awake and drunk over sober and sleeping.
Quintens career never took off

Jon Bentley as 'that man'
Does anyone know what's that dark red car that the drunk and tired people used for the driving course? Is it a Fiat? Rover? Or a Renault?
It's a Renault 21
Thanks
Why not bring in a ‘drink driving’ test ?
Imagine people using fatigue to justify drunk driving
I wonder if you're tired you can concentrate and keep it together for a while but for longer drives you simply can't keep up the required concentration level?
No you can't. It keeps getting worse and worse from you forcing your brain into awareness, which only depletes its low reserves faster.
I didn’t know you’re able to drink that much legally! I’m scared I’ll push the limits next time
If I had a say.. Sleep deprived driving and Drink driving are as bad as each other.. no matter how you look at it
I thought this was top gear until I saw the 52 plate Renault
When you realise half the people here are off the pre 2002 top gear
How tired is tired? Like I was so tired that I would slur my speech and walk weird. But that was on 2-3 hours of sleep for multiple days straight. So, is that more tired than the tired they felt? Probably.
I use to drive in uber all night long!!! 😖😖😖
tired. drunk, you dont fucking fall asleep
Tiff Very experience with cars anyway they made of his job plus He drives race cars
Women driving for sure !
Stoned or tired or drunk or all these - you cant beat a woman driver....
Problem with drink drivers is its never just over the legal limit its always shitfaced people who are too drunm to know better
I wouldn't drink use a phone, would use weed
People that waste their live by drink driving for example and die, should automatically be classed as food have their meat stripped from the bones, and sold in butchers as wasted live meat, Cheap and chewy.
A woman made a meal of parking? Really
Quentin is so sleezy
Ok.

Just one straightaway or a corner is usually where they get overconfident. Seen it all with race car drivers after a couple drinks.
Ryan Dunn (RIP) and his GT3 crash comes to mind when you say this. I sympathize with your point but reckless driving is inexcusable sober or drunk.
why is this filmed in 1990s ?
Driving tired is more risky then drink driving
Wrong
@ if you talk about illegal, definitely its drunk driving, but i very well know how you feel when you are driving continously for many hours without sleep, I know very well when you are going to fell asleep on steering wheel because I have tested myself to the limits. Untill when your mind fell asleep while driving, not intensionally but now I know my limits and am fully aware of my driving capabilities. So by experience i am saying this.
Posted in 2019 while the video looks like its from 90s
That's Fifth gear for you 🙄
@Ross Bourne shut the fuck up
The Renault used for the high speed test was a 52 plate.
It says in the description it was originally aired in March 2003
First?
