Summary

One thing spy movies get right is that every covert field officer is trained to drive like a badass! Elite operators use advanced driving skills (aka: vehicle dynamics) to escape capture, crash through barriers, drive at high speeds and even survive hostile attack. In this episode, Andrew lays out the rules for advanced driving and gives you the core skills you need to practice and perfect the same vehicle dynamics elite operators use to keep themselves and their families safe.

0:00.0	My name is Andrew Bustamante, and this is everyday espionage.
0:08.0	Freedom!
0:11.0	Freedom! Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom.
0:21.6	Freedom.
0:23.6	I was recently on a drive from the deserts in Nevada through the mountains of Utah to land in Arizona.
0:33.6	Now, I'm actually on the road right now for about 55 consecutive days filming for a new

1:17.7	And I realized that it's really important to teach vehicle dynamics anytime you start talking
1:23.9	about espionage tactics. Because here's the the truth the truth is that when you're a spy

1:44.2	There's times where you might come into contact
1:46.5	with hostile forces that are trying to pin you in or pin you down.
