I got my N'ring industry pool licence way back, in a very shonky ex dev car (i won't name the manufacturer) without any working stability control or ABS, on knackered tyres, in the rain, and i had only driven 1 lap of the place prior to that, and all the time the crazy german "instructor" (and i use the word loosely) spent the entire time shouting at me! Quite slowly. With a healthy dollop of pisstaking thrown in.

After 3 laps my eyes were on stalks and i had a heart rate of about 160. At one point, due to my totally hopeless lines we were completely crossed up on the brakes (no ABS either) at about 100mph, which i saved, frankly more due to luck that talent, and the instructor shouted across "ok, good, you go fast now".........
Happy days ;-)
Got a bit of spare time whilst I’m away on holiday, so I’ve had time to edit this one. Motorcycling - update & filtering:

The 'umbrella' emergency braking test is on this side road.

The higher speed ones are at various points further down the A838 towards Laxford Bridge.
The final 'in corner' test is heading back the other way here.

So little traffic: a distant dream where I live. I must try to get up there again later this year.
Btw RL, I have been meaning to ask, which road is it that features on the intro to your videos?

Hello Reg Local.
Apologies for possibly taking this a tad off track, but I figured best to pop it in one of your youtube threads, but I'm a youngish driver, 20 year old man, with just over 3 years experience behind the wheel. I've wanted to watch your videos for ages, however, being profoundly deaf, I can't hear the commentary/dialouge explaining what you're doing and when. I've been using the YouTube auto-caption feature on some of the videos, and whilst it is somewhat accurate, there are a couple of videos where this feature is not even available (possibly due to the speech not being clear enough in the audio), and on others where it is available, it is very poor and occasionally misses out huge swathes of information!
I was wondering if I could trouble you to either review the videos and include proper subtitles for all of them, or perhaps offer a transcript in a file which one could download and read through whilst watching the video. I believe creating the captions is a very simple affair when uploading to YouTube, as their auto-caption software will capture the majority of the speech, and you only have to read through whilst listening and edit in missing bits or correcting some of the... more 'imaginative' attempts at transcribing your speech!
Otherwise, I think your videos are excellent and incredibly informative! I only really understood the concept of brake gear overlap after I'd watched your video on it, and now I'm trying to implement some of the driving techniques demonstrated into my daily driving. Might I also suggest that you do a video on how to drive in an urban environment, such as a city or large town, with complex road systems etc. I drive almost exclusively in Liverpool and on the Wirral, save for the occasional trip further away, and I'd like to see you demonstrate some of the thought processes I ought to be aiming for in my urban driving.
I thank you again for a collection of such interesting videos, and avidly await to see more! I also hope you could consider my feedback regarding subtitling your videos, and perhaps implement a way for deaf and hard of hearing people to access the information.

Thanks very much for pointing out the issues with the caption function on YT. I was aware that the function existed, and I've tried it on a couple of videos & found it worked reasonably well, but I never took the time to check it was working on all of them - probably through a combination of ignorance & assuming it just worked.Apologies for possibly taking this a tad off track, but I figured best to pop it in one of your youtube threads, but I'm a youngish driver, 20 year old man, with just over 3 years experience behind the wheel.

I'll make a start on reviewing the function for all my videos, but in the meantime, if there are any which you'd particularly like checking - or which are particularly bad - let me know & I'll start with them. You're welcome to PM me or DM me via Twitter if you like.
My apologies for the oversight - I want my stuff to be accessible to as many people as possible.

and the Siberian ones, it seems.
There's a couple of others where the subtitles are quite bizarre and not very obvious, but I can't remember off the top of my head which ones, so I'll leave that to you to find and sort out! Thank you, I appreciate it very much!

I imagine Youtube's automatic feature is not calibrated for "Lancashire"
By the way, I say YouTube's subtitle generator has some imaginative attempts at subtitling what you say, for an example of what I mean, in video 22 - Flow, between about 8:44 to 8:52, the subtitles offer the following:
"I'll take third gear - holds on the hell and all this Karen's going to keep breaking her here or hold us as our opportunity to all attacks"!
With a modicum of common sense and watching the image, you can just about decipher the sentence to mean the following:
"I'll take third gear - holds us on the hill, and this car's braking here, hold on as there's an opportunity to overtake" or some approximation, and whilst you can just about understand what's being said, I can't deny there's some comedy to be had from voice recognition attempting to understand any accents
EDIT: Oh, I should mention that's not the worst attempt by any means, there's plenty of comedic subtitles on some of the videos! I just plucked that one out as I could remember it clearly because I'd not long ago watched it.
EDIT again: Oh, I just remembered another one. In video "17 - Advanced Driving in a Tesla...", the subtitles have you introducing yourself as Reggie Lhasa... That one had me chuckling for a while, admittedly.
