Remind me not to press this button.....

Posing for camera shot, even pouting. Forgetting about the job of actually driving, ohh dear I'm going to fast, crash happens...

In fairness to him he looks like he's still in shock.....but it has nothing to do with holding down buttons or turning off traction control...he just lost it

Yes but he's laughing and making stupid jokes about the interior afterwards. And what was it that he pressed then?

I remember posting up some time ago asking whether people generally drove without driver aids. I, incidentally, don't because I'm not confident enough to do so. I reckon he should have thought the same thing. What a chimp.

I understand that only a minority switch them off

Surely its about knowing how far you can push the car before it bites back, so as long as you know say, that 60 percent throttle leaving a tight hairpin will loose you grip and you'll oversteer, leaving the aids off isn't too much of a big deal, even if its not such a good idea in case of a incident that is out of your hands.


I haven't got a powerful car though, and its mid engine so loosing traction isn't that much of a big deal in the dry!

The only thing he pressed that he shouldn't have is the peddle on the right!

He said in the video at the end when they were cking around that he pressed a button at the bottom of the centre console that he shouldn't have, he intended to press the sport button instead I think.

I suggest that all the safety systems in the world wouldn't have saved the muppet, due to the first thing he did...


'I went into the corner too fast...!'

[Bincenzo]

Correct. He was too hot into a corner with a fookin metal barrier on the overshoot - what did he expect? All the systems in the world can't defy physics. All the blah about pressing the wrong button was a smokescreen.

I'd love to know where the limit is in my car, but i need to wait until I'm on a track to do that......or follow Cockers for a few miles

[sukh_m]

Nutters!... and they laughed about it

He accidentally held the wrong button down for five whole seconds - Hmmmm!!!

Every sport button I have ever come across in any car doesn't take 5 second push, on the other hand DSC buttons

The tip is always optional Phil (just saying!)

[Jockman]

Apologies....I meant my presence was a treat

The actual bill for me was over £22,000 as it lead directly to my wife's X5

I hope you had the whole duck for that amount!

I like my food but, even if I could afford it, I don't like it £400 a head
