Mick Drives Cars
Discussion
I don't know if this has been covered before, but I have come across these YouTube vids by Mick Drives Cars.
He demonstrates "advanced" driving techniques, but in actual fact his driving is abysmal, for instance, by driving with one hand holding the steering wheel at 6 o'clock whilst waving his other hand around. In fact, in one vid he is doing around 60mph and takes BOTH hands off the wheel to demonstrate something. He often decries standard AD techniques as a waste of time.
Has anyone else seen this clown? What are your thoughts? Should his videos be banned?

His videos shouldn't be "banned" as that's ridiculous, but I've come across him before and yes he's an atrocious* driver that's totally full of himself. I wonder what his account name here is.
*Ok that's putting a bit far. "Poor" would be more like it. Certainly not someone to be taking tuition from anyway.

Unfortunately gullible viewers of his videos will think his driving techniques are the way to drive.
Some of his actions, eg the holding of the steering wheel with just one hand at 6 o'clock are just downright dangerous and could result in an accident, injury or even a fatality.
Would he pass even the basic driving test, driving in this manner? No, of course not
So, I therefore think his vids are inciting dangerous behaviour on our roads, and, yes, they should be banned.
