J.KYDD Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Drifting on a track - fine. Drifting on an open/public road, especially in town - f**king stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJsy Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Fine if you do it on a track but wannabe fast and furious type people are a bunch of idiots. If you ride a bike in a public place then there's a tiny chance you can hurt a pedestrian, if you're doing that stuff, no matter how good you think you are you can always spin out and kill someone.

pjl1984 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 All honesty i like to see drifting and all that sort of stuff the problem i have with the video you posted is that a lot of this seems to be done on public roads where other road users are. I have seen way to many people hurt by people tooling about in cars on public roads causing misery to others and walking away unhurt and then going out and doing it all over again. Everything has its time and place and as long as it is done safely fair play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 love drifting, been doing drift practice days for nearly 3 years now. anybody who has a rwd and can drift will admit to lighting the back wheels up on public roads at some point. this video isnt even that bad, no ridiculous high speed drifts or big spin outs. just nice controlled 2nd gear wet tarmac mostly open corners on same side of the road. but FFS tell him to use two hands on the steering wheel, forget about the handbrake so much and they wont need to rely on it. theres no need to ever palm the steering wheel when going lock to lock, a quick flick and youll just grab it when its gone far enough. thats it the car is set up to drift, if not then why not! it'll drift better.

Im sorry but i have to disagree i have driven rear wheel drive cars and not felt the need to do crap like that. The attitude of well its only slow stuff no real danger is complete toss. Seen way to many people hurt and killed because they thought they knew better than the laws of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete.M Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I wouldn't say that I love drifting, but I do love rwd cars. This might be a controversial thing to say, but there are times when it can be safe to drift on the public road. For example, I used to practice on a really quiet roundabout in the depths of the Highlands, where I could see all around and knew for sure that no-one was nearby. Not safe for me, but as long as no-one else is involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriаlsRider Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) Drifting on an open/public road, especially in town - f**king stupid Why? Your logic is like logic of people who expels riders from spots with words like "Don't ride there, go ride skatepark stupid BMXers! Skateparks was built for you, so get away! This %obstacle% is not for riding, you idiot!" If you don't disturb anyone and know what you're doing (means that your drifting is safe for anyone: people, other drivers) it's not bad I think. See how deserted streets are in this video? Edited December 20, 2013 by TriаlsRider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TriаlsRider Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) You cant compare riding a bike to that mate sorry but you are wrong Why? Who can I hurt on deserted street? In Russia was several LETHAL/really bad cases with bikes. For example FR rider killed 2 pedestrians in park by crashing in them on 80+km/h. So even bike can be lethal. By the way speed on that video is pretty slow, don't you noticed that? It's far more bad when some idiot rides 160+Km/h. This is far more dangerous for him and others. And most of the car accidents happens exactly because of combining too high speed with some retard driver. By the way, another advantage of drifting is gaining more skill to control your car that may help alot in some bad situations and even save your life.
