Professional driver on closed course?  

I have been thinking about this Discussion for awhile, diecaster, and I can only come to one conclusion, besides the obvious liablity issues.

I suspect that my wife has secretly gotten a second job as a professional driver for auto commercials. If you have ever ridden anywhere with my wife driving, you would know that no sane person should ever, EVER, attempt such a thing. I think that if I was to look closely at the drivers in these commercials, I would see my wife driving with a look of insane glee on her face. I think that in the name of humanity, the automobile manufacturers are trying to warn the world about my wife's driving, and to get the heck out of her way if they see her coming.

Of course, I only offer one humble opinion.

Some of the new ads are ace
You know,the ones with the cars skidding to a halt at the very edge of a roof of a sky scraper
Try that my friend
I am scared of heights,and I wouldnt do it
One day,the making of these ads will kill someone
Unless the stunt driver is Evil Knevil(spelling)
Do you think he would consider coming out of retirement
These old posts you did are great

I believe it is done at the request of the traffic engineers. As you said, the ads show NORMAL driving on pretty country roads or city streets. Therein lies the problem. In order to remain employed, the engineers must make traffic. If you go about your driving in a normal way, i.e. actually going from point A to point B WITHOUT unnecessary braking, unusually slow speed and not crashing into at least ONE object, you create no traffic, thus they have no career. So PLEASE! Do not attempt!
