Learner driver almost gets taken out.

Nervouse learner almost has a head on with impatient driver. Seriously I just don't get it. Also BMW driver doing the usual aggressive driving we come to expect from them. mmmm Sometimes I wish I had a laser cannon on my car, like ones fitted to the dune buggies in Megaforce!

that isuzu driver was scary. hard braking in the middle of a turn is the fastest way to spin out. that's one of the first things you learn in performance driving school - get all your braking done before you start turning the steering wheel. he wasn't racing, but in a vehicle with a high center of gravity, mushy suspension and balloon tires like that, he might as well have been. lucky he didn't wipe out.

You're dead right which is why I gave him a wide berth after the first braking incident . I could'nt jam on because I also drive a car with a high center of gravity. Flipping scary stuff. My wife was climbing out of her seat lol!!!!

i wish i'd had a camera in the car the first time i took my wife onto the track with me. she was stomping her imaginary brake pedal, holding onto the seatbelt and door handle for dear life. even though she had a clear view of the turns as they came up, she was still surprised by them and was bouncing left and right rather than bracing herself properly (factory 3-point seat belts, no harnesses)
