Something Everyone Should Know. - ROMANIA VLOG

Come back. Good morning and welcome back to Bucharest. Today I have the chance to do something extra specially cool. I'm heading out the city to go do this experience and I won't ruin the surprise, I'll just show you as the video goes. But I'm also doing it with a couple of people that some of you might recognize. So first up let me introduce you to Alson. Say hey man. Hi. He has an awesome Instagram, I'll flash it up now and go check it out. This is the Summer Palace and this is our first little stop off today. It's not the main event but it's on the way to where we're going. So we figured we can stop off for about 15 minutes, have a look around and then carry on. And I'm also here with Christian. Hi. That's kind of awkward, I had to go down. I know, I'm very short. From Hopscotch the Globe and I was on the panel with them a couple days ago and yeah go check out that stuff if you don't know already. You did an awesome job on the panel by the way. Thank you. See ya. I also need you to say hi. Oh, what up? Hello. Let me know if you guys recognize these, you probably will. Say hi, hello. We're in my shirt. Yo, wait. It's like he aimed for you. Check it out, I just found an upside down tree. Tree, you're drunk. Going the wrong way, bro. This is cool. Well that's going to be me later. So this is it, we've come to Titi Aor. I think that's the right way to say it, which is a resistance driving racing track just outside of Bucharest. And I've barely driven in about three years other than the tuk-tuk thing which was like a real trial by fire. I haven't driven a car in about three years. So this is going to be interesting. Wow, that's class. We have waivers, we have a classroom. This is cool. Yeah, this is cool. Check it. All fighting. Hey, Tazi. So in this simulator, you will feel how big is the force and how important is the seat belt. Okay, so first I'm doing an impact simulator to simulate what it's like to be in a crash at 13 kilometers an hour. Yeah, okay. It's a case of impact. Tell you to prepare yourself. That means that you need to push with your legs in the floor. Okay. To put your head back in the backrest and to have all the muscle tense. This is going to hurt. He will tell you when. Please let us know when you start. Unfortunately, at the absolute last moment, the camera just cut out. But I can tell you that that was pretty intense. Even though it's just 13 kilometers an hour, which is 0.7 Gs, you can really feel the force and it does give you a jolt backwards. Do this. Okay, here we go. Here we go. This hand very well. Take your leg out and put it here. No, no, don't release the seat belt. Yeah, I know it's quite dark. Okay, as I told to your colleagues, the real situation would be like this. Forget about exit on the windscreen because the windscreen is very well glued on the car and it's like a sandwich between glass, plastic, again, glass and no chance to exit. Forget about this. This is impossible. It's very heavy. In this position, the door is very heavy. Even if you open it, when you try to exit to get out of the car, to escape the car, it will come back and it's very dangerous because it's going to hurt you. So break this window. So you smash through that just to get out. Exactly. Get it a little bit up. Yeah, yeah, like this. Okay. Now with your hand, go to the bottom and open the door. So you will exit this way. And I could just... That is really something I've never thought about. But if you rolled over in a car and you're upside down, my immediate reaction would be to release the seat belt. If you do that, you can break your neck or damage yourself. So what I just got taught is that you have to brace yourself before releasing the seat belt and there's a specific way of doing that. That's something everyone should know. Great skills to know because we all drive, but do we all know how to get out of a situation? I really do feel these are the sort of things that everyone should know. This is the sort of stuff that should be on your driving test. I mean, I've never really thought about any of this before, but if you got into a crash like this or when you're on your side or completely upside down, how do you get out? And that's one of the things that this driving school or rally experience, defensive driving course, whatever you want to call it, does. And I think that's awesome. So I'm now in a car with two steering wheels and Sia is learning how to manage side slip. So the instructor is controlling the back tyres and he's controlling the front. Change the second gear and that's it. Do not accelerate anymore. Okay. Choose just one line. The side slip vehicle will feel like this. And this was the wrong direction, okay? Your steering wheel. Well, the back goes. If the back goes left, go a little bit left. If you go right, you're going to turn around. Unfortunately, our instinctive reaction is wrong. The car goes right, a little bit right. Very good. The car goes left in the back. Go left. Sorry, I was going left and then right. You were already going left. Reduce the speed. Just keep on side slipping. If the car goes just a little bit, just a little bit of reaction. If I have a greater side slip, then I'll go left, go right. And you will have an overturning situation. Go left, right, exactly. In real situations, just one moment. Yeah, very good. Now you have a very good reaction. It's like a drift on sand. Yes, very good. Very good. You're keeping the line. And presumably, the faster you go, the more you have to compensate. Yep, exactly, exactly. To make some mistakes. See how it feels. Yeah, sure. Go right. So I'm just going to go left when you go left. Yep. And now fully left. Felt awesome. Yeah, like this. Very good. Don't ask. Again left. Again left, right. Now you're drifting. Stunt driver. Okay, slow down. And we're gonna go in that area. Here we go. I won't even tell you what we're doing, but I'll just show you. Ready? Let's go. I changed my mind. I hope so. Please don't tell us. Not today. All right. Okay, here we go. What? Not today. Look at the road. What's up? Oh my god. Yeah, I mean, just chilling. What a ridiculously epic day. Seriously, this whole weekend, the last few days in Bucharest, have been so much better than I expected. I'm just turning around because it's dark. But oh my god, like, I don't know what I expected, but it's been so much fun. And this was amazing. Both in learning, learning things, and also trying really cool things like that two-wheel drive. I would recommend this to everyone. It's called Academia Titor, and check it out if you're ever in this part of the world. I'm going to say bye here because I can't top that today, and I'm just going to leave you there. I'm flying out tomorrow, so the next you see me, I'll be back in the UK. But Bucharest, you've been amazing. Thanks for watching, and this is my life.
