This is a really hard product for me to review. The method is very simplistic, and seems as though it would never work. It’s one of those “don’t-knock-it-’til-you-try-it” things, but the book is plastered with warnings to not actually try it. So I haven’t, yet. This could kill or injure you or someone else, very easily. The book is being sold for informational purposes only.
However, I can definitely see the potential here. There are certain things that can be done to minimize the risk, and I think that by doing that and practicing in a safe area, you could easily accomplish the drive. The problem I see is getting the permission to do it. Unless you want to risk being arrested by doing it on an open, public roadway (which I personally would not want to do), you’re going to need some planning. It’s my personal opinion (and I could be totally off base, having no experience with things like this) that you’re going to be hard pressed to convince the police department to shut down a roadway so you can drive a car blindfolded. I think it could happen if you’re doing it to promote charity work of some kind, but even then it’s going to be a hard sell.
The speedway drive is an interesting concept, but also very dangerous. It’s what I would choose to do if I decided to do something out of this book, if for no other reason than because I think it would be the easiest sell.
If you decide to do the drive on an open road, Devin provides some tips and advice for dealing with police, along with strategies for fighting your case in court and even choosing what state to do the drive in. This provides for some interesting reading, but I strongly recommend you avoid doing it that way. Another interesting theory was the method for making a car stall, including the car of someone passing you on the road. I’m sure it’s workable for someone, somewhere but unfortunately I am not that person. Good reading, though.
If you decide to get this book, make sure you’re ready for it. This is by no means a beginner’s text. Unless you’re prepared to risk the safety of yourself and others, there’s not much of a reason to buy this. If you’re only interested in the method, I’ll say one thing: It’s what you think it is. Save your money.
