Stunt Driving

What is stunt driving?

Stunt driving is what makes those thrilling high-speed car chases, jumps and manoeuvres you see in cinema and TV shows happen. They’re typically carried out by a professional stunt driver (although some actors are known to do their own stunts!) – an expert in precision driving and someone who is able to follow the specific instructions of the director.

Often stunt driving is in cars or motorbikes, but it can also involve other vehicles, from trucks and scooters to cranes and tanks.
