What is a stunt driver?

Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars

A stunt driver is a highly trained, specially insured driving professional who performs precision, high-speed, or otherwise dangerous vehicle maneuvers for film and television productions.

Stunt drivers hold specialist skills including controlled skids, J-turns, bootlegger reverses, precision parallel parking at speed, near-miss choreography, and high-impact crash sequences. They work exclusively under the supervision of the stunt coordinator and must remain in constant communication with the AD, camera department, and safety team during every driving gag.
