Credit to Kev Brock Driving Instructor who caught this on his Dash Cam.

I fine example of too fast and not driving to the conditions.

Vert likely, the diver was saved by Electronic Stabilisition Programme (ESP) which is outstanding on these cars.

Without modern technology, this could have ended very differently.

Never rely on technology, it's not fool proof. It's a "Get out of jail free" card.

A useful teaching tool as to the dangers of not driving to the conditions. Video is my own, please share/use as necessary. No credit necessary.

Fancy a day in the life of a driving instructor?

We get abuse for being in the correct lanes.

We get abuse for sticking to the speed limits.

We get abuse for slowing down because it says so on the road.

We get abuse for pulling up outside your house.

We get abuse because the driver didn’t set off quick enough.

We get abuse for stalling.

We get abuse for not tailgating the car in front.

We even get abuse for not blocking junctions and not going into a box junction.

We get abuse when you kindly let a learner out but they don’t react as quick as you would like them too.

Please don't beep your horn, it really won't speed us up.

Until we teach one of your family to drive then for a short time the abuse stops, but only for a short time.

We have all had to learn to drive, it’s funny how quickly we forget what it’s like.

We forget what it’s like to approach your first roundabout, the first parallel park, the first crossroads.

Please have a thought for us and our Students. We can’t use a class room and trust me we don’t like holding you up anymore than you do!

Thank you xx
