I wonder if Geico (the company that will drop you if you're caught with a radar detector) would be willing to insure any of us if we were caught on video driving like that? I have to grin at the irony here.


Really good handling (and good driving!) isn't nearly so dramatic as what the Mustang exhibits at 0:21 or the other car most of the time.

yeah got to pick right insurance comp....I never liked geico cause the advertised cycle insurance in NC, but what you don't find out is it's onlt liability, so if you financed a bike and need full coverage was not then...now that was 4 years ago....maybe they changed ?

wow...well being an IT Guy....all I can say is if you are not able to do google searches for geico insurance commercials, or you are able to find but get errors, then, you have a setting turned on, or your provider is blocking..sorry..one last shot...here is the actual google page after searched...does this work for anyone else?

Maybe the direct link is blocked because Geico doesn't have a license to sell in Canada?

The issue appears to be that the official site blocks it for display in Canada. Copies of it posted by individuals do work as they do not have the restriction.

Good video.
