Instructor managed to keep his cool!

 

[danward]

Haha great vid! That guy must be so embarrassed, he'll never live it down.

 

[DanEdser]

 

[Stu.]

FLOL!! Best thing I've seen in a while! What a f**king mongo!

 

[Jason_E]

Fookin' northerners.

YOU'RE NOT BRAKING!!!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

I'm pretty sure its the AMV8 in the video as the pedals are offset and you can't just pull the handbrake because its on the drivers side!

 

[JCC]

Baffled.

Even if the pedals are wildly offset, how can you completely miss one out and hit the one furthest away from where your foot was? Unless he was trying to left foot brake, of course.

 

[stevescort172]

OMG flol, What a bell.

 

[sbridgey]

Maybe he was used to driving an auto?

 

[Fred@BTM]

The problem we have is 95% of the punters are used to driving "normal" cars, you get in an Aston, Ferrari etc etc its pretty different!

 

[Marky_]

Fred, do they encourage left foot braking during these days?

 

[SharkyUK]

ROFLMFAO! That's made my day! I'll be showing this to my mate who just smacked his brand new Audi (5 days old, 74 miles) into the wall after 'missing' the brake whilst attempting to exit a multi-storey car park... :rofl:

 

[Fred@BTM]

god no! I was in a F360 once and i hit the windscreen when the customer decided to use his left foot! His session ended quite quickly!

 

[Slammed172]

Jesus christ, at least it was only at 70mph and not double that - but even still.

 

[MaLicE]

fred, you know anyone at a track day events thing in leicester?

 

[Fred@BTM]

Prestwold? Yeah my old boss owns the place, and all the cars etc etc

The bit i'm struggling with is if you're driving a car normally, any car, and you miss the brake, your natural reaction is to feel for the pedal. The brake pedal is next to the throttle. It's dead fcuking simple!!

I drive all sorts of cars and I make mistakes regularly, but I have NEVER mistaken a clutch pedal for a brake! LOL!

 

[Bluebeard]

Do we know the offending mans name yet?? Surely this will go viral??

 

[JackJack]

'kin hell what a t**t.

 

[Budgie]

Incredible.

 

[MarkCup]

Ha ha ha. Wouldn't have believed that if I'd not seen the video. Astonishing incompetence.

 

[Mr Plums]

Very very funny, Gary Neville kept his cool very well tbh.

 

[Jay Payne]

Ive had quite a few customers mistake the brake for the clutch before but never this way round

 

[bendee]

Prestwold? Yeah my old boss owns the place, and all the cars etc etc

does he drive a range? i was up there when i got my last 172 to get some snaps and as i was driving out a group of 4 blokes in one stopped in front of me asking what i was up to, i bobbed me a pants a little. i always drive by on the way to me mates workshop and see randoms on the track, never had the balls myself lol.

 

[Hixle]

LOL! Incredible, I'm completely baffled at how he didn't after at least the first 5 seconds.

I AD MA FOOT ON THE FOOKING CLUTCH.

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

I've had people go on testdrives trying to pull off with the brake pedal but never had anyone mistake a brake for a clutch pedal.

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

Wow that reminds me of how Wilky Way Drives on the roads

 

[Advikaz]

I still do a bit here & there but like living life too much.

Too many people think they can drive & a little bit of knowledge is dangerous.

 

[Cub.]

Cheers for posting it in its non FB state.

Absolute gold. 'Bbbbbbrrrrrrrraaaakkkkeeeee'.

Clownshoe - 'you ok?'
Instructor - 'well obviously that is a less than ideal situation'.

 

[tommy g]

Flol!!! What a peenarse!

 

[Ade T]

hahaha saw this on my mates facebook last night, so so funny ha

 

[ivegota16v]

Prestwold? Yeah my old boss owns the place, and all the cars etc etc

do they still have that totally clapped out black 360 manual doing the rounds up there? had something like 65k miles on it when I had a go in it last year, and was only allowed to rev it to 5k!

 

[Fred@BTM]

hard top or cab? They sold off all there manual 360's ages ago, but only allowed to rev to 5K?? you had the wrong instructor! We let you rev the knackers off them (within reason!)

 

[Christopher]

Holy sh*t.

 

[jesus]

Prized tool! When I had a go in a F360 the brake pedal was absolutely solid. The clutch wasn't. Not difficult since he's been driving it around the track prior to this corner that he didn't brake for.

It's a good job he wasn't going any faster I suppose - I managed to get to 130 before he told me to brake

 

[ivegota16v]

Whoops, I was on about prodrive at Kenilworth! It was a black cab. Some of the instructors let you give them the beans, others were a bit shite and told you to keep the revs down!

 

[Fred@BTM]

which company was that with? we did have a manual black 360 cab with some horrible "daytona" bucket seats (£5K option LOL) they made it hard to change gear! That car was called Wiggy

 

[Short Norman]

How long before someone produces a version replacing the word brake with 'FENTON'....
