Comments on Your Comments: NEW: How to Drive Over Speedbumps kzread.info/dash/bejne/oY51z8eipc2ycqw.html 1. "Don't drive a lowered car then!" first off, this applies to plenty of sports cars, lowered or not. Second, there are ditches and driveways so steep even a Camry will have trouble. Third, the same principle applies for lots of vehicles even 4x4s, trailers etc. You can see a variant of the technique for 4x4s here kzread.info/dash/bejne/pGtptZSTmZC_iMo.html And finally, your money, your choice, if you want a lowered car it's a free world. Enjoy your ride, live your best life and cruise by the haters who have nothing better to do with their miserable lives than throw negativity and judgement. Must be awful to just walk the street and be so incredibly annoyed by other people's choices you can't help but comment. I feel sorry for you guys. 2. "This is obvious how do people not know this" well, everyone has a different set of life experiences and natural talent, so no, it's not obvious to everyone, same way as the people making that point are unable to figure out this exact point. 3. Why was the car meet held there? That was just one carpark of many, and yes the organisers could have put a plank of wood down. But the driveway was driveable with the right technique, and my goal here is to spread the word of how it can be done, not mock people for not knowing. I wouldn't know how to plant roses or cook a lobster for example. Thank you all, carry on watching :-)

I would add the fact since so many people don't know this, it just goes to show how poorly driving schools prepare people. If someone doesn't think of this technique on their own, at least the driving school should teach you.

My first car was already lowered when I bought it. I made these adjustments by trial and error, it's nice to visualize what I had to figure out the hard way so I can process it.

I learned how to do this in Lumber Tycoon 2. I had to collect tons of rare blue wood and then drive with a low car for about 5 minutes. Any time i hit a wall or floor with my car had a chance for all my wood to fly all over the place. I could maybe add to this video by saying that some cars have a better angle when driving backwards. bonus points when driving diagonally backwards

Been a mover for 5 years. Decent truck drivers, especially delivery that deal with steep driveways, know this trick when backing in.

@L2SFBC

4 ай бұрын

Clearly they have not!

This ‘angling off’ approach has an important side effect which also helps prevention of the nose grounding. Approaching on the angle means that both front wheels don’t ‘drop’ into the gutter throat at exactly the same time. Instead when ‘angling off’ each front wheel gets to drop on its own, leaving the other front corner to help carry the cars weight at that exact moment…. Can make an important difference especially when your car is really low (my Radical has an approach angle of less than 3 degrees!)

@L2SFBC

Жыл бұрын

Exactly right, although having most (all) of the car's front axle weight carried on one wheel will compress the suspension more than if the weight was equally carried, but even so, angling off works...as the people shown at Cars & Coffee proved! A three degree AA is really low, must have great aero on that car :-)

Hi, this is a very interesting and informative video. Congratulations! I have a question, if you don't mind. A few days ago I've made a test drive on a car I intended to buy, but unfortunantly when I was acessing my garage it started to scratch below as soon as I reached half of the driver's door until almost of the first half of the back passanger's door. How can I avoid this situation? I live on a building which has an accentuated ramp to acces the parking garage. Do you know any link video showing any solution for this? Thanks.
