Lack of control? Doesn't look like it to me....

How do people like DMO film themselves repeatedly driving like idiots on the road and upload them to YouTube, yet never get prosecuted?

Pops and bangs map Yo..

..there is a time and a place for everything and the stupid tax needs to be applied to people like this who can’t work that out.

Lack of self control certainly. Doing that around other traffic is idiotic.

Idiot

Same, he was doing alright until he got a it close to the Zafira, and spooked him. 8 points is a little harsh IMO. He was a twerp, give him 3.

I’m guessing a lack of corroborating evidence such as time stamped traffic cam footage, eye witness accounts, etc.

The law will eventually catch up with him though, as it did with that other dick head YouTuber, Certi Drivers.

Just hope it happens before he hurts someone else.

Nearly ttted the Zafira, accelerated over a zebra crossing and ultimately got caught.

0/10 8 points deserved.

Like masturbation, there's nothing wrong with oversteer, just don't do it where anyone else can see you.

The "M lites" have migrated from the first and second owners down into knobhead territory, quite a few Pop and bang merchants on Instagram, usually driving like a tt in and out of traffic at speed in town or city centre, doing burnouts on a trading estate or hooning down residential roads at 80 mph with parked cars either side.

Can get a Cat S M140i for 14/15 grand (possibly less) spend 2 grand on tuning and it will have potentially, 500 bhp, all very do-able for the scrote about town with some cash only income streams.

The drift looked reasonably well executed, would imagine that had an LSD but doing it when there is traffic about is mental and anti social.

Book a drift/track day, they never do, it always seems to have to be conducted in the confines of a busy area for some reason.

Yeah I think that's it, they can't prove anything but if he has an incident of any kind in the future all these videos will be brought up and it won't be looking good for him.

If he'd stopped at about 12 o clock he might have got away with that, and carrying on is a bit silly.

There were pedestrians too, had he got a tank slapper (easily done) then he could have taken them out.

As others have said, only do when no-one about to see you.

Clearly standard and no LSD IMO, inside rear unloaded wheel immediately starts smoking when he first drifts past the 12 o'clock position, exactly how an open diff behaves.

Ouch 8 points.

Yep, totally this. Do it at 2am when there's no one around and certainly don't carry on when another car enters the roundabout, and then to further compound your idiocy, drift around them!!! Play stupid games and all that...

[Court_S]

Unsurprisingly it’s an M-Lite; as Jacko said they’re definitely getting a bad reputation as they fall into tue wrongs hands. The insurance premiums certainly reflect that too!

A tank-slapper on a car?



What would be slapping the tank?

Yes, a common phrase (like fishtailing etc.) that, I know originates from motorbikes, but is often used when describing the car losing control in similar fashion.... "literally" not of course if you want to get really pedantic about it.... But neither is a car a fish nor has a "tail" literally speaking so can't be "fishtailing" either
