Ogmios School of Zen Motoring - ASMR DASHCAM

Postby GTR1400MAN » Mon May 11, 2020 4:13 pm

Something a bit different.

Not sure of the guy's background but some nice calm little bits of driving in congested London, delivered with humour.

"God on a quad" and "The Shadow - Coming to a morgue near you soon"

Scooter boys, absolutely nothing out of the ordinary in any of it. It is how driving in London north or south of the river is everyday. :swords:

By "a bit different" I meant the presentation style of the commentary ... not what he encountered. ;)

"Ah , Emergency! Man in a fruit salad blazer, driving a golf cart, needs to get through. Hang on are people not respecting the authority of his flashing lights? Outrageous... "

Epic, great find :)

Like it - keep chilled...peace to everyone...

On a more serious note I reckon it's interesting if your driving in heavy traffic, just to aim to keep your car moving, let others change lanes, pull out/in, keep space all around and make progress in a controlled way...and yes use great Observation and all those 'advanced' skills we all talk about. I honestly don't think it greatly effects your journey time - but it's definitely more peaceful and probably safer.

One of the negative comments I sometimes get from videos on Facebook and YouTube is that they are boring. "Nothing happens". Others have said the riding is so relaxed and calm. I've taken BOTH as compliments. :)

Good vid...I'd love to spend a day or 2 with them to better understand how they do it.
