According to him, Franklin looks funny while using it, " Like watching Chop try to read while you do that shit." Lamar Davis is the only in-game character who acknowledges the existence of Special Ability, asking him to "use that special driving thing that he does" during Chop.

The more extreme the circumstance the better chance of increased skill. Just driving around with Franklin can increase his special skill although minutely.

The special ability also applies to drive-by shootings. This is particularly useful if Franklin is attacking someone with the cannon. This ability only can be applied to ground motor vehicles like cars, motorcycles, and even to the Rhino tank. This is reminiscent of the "Zone" ability in the Midnight Club series of video games, which were also made by Rockstar Games, which allows the player to slow down time to weave through traffic. Controls of the vehicle become smoother and allow Franklin to pass through narrow gaps between other cars to do dangerous turns and slides without losing control or speed of the vehicle and overall improve performance. As soon as the ability gets activated, the screen darkens and takes on a slight hue of green, during which the gameworld becomes very slow, and all of the lights on the screen become blurry and leave trails. Franklin's special ability begins at one third of maximum capacity, which lasts for 30 seconds of duration. By enhancing this skill, its maximum storage capacity is increased, which directly affects its duration. This allows him to easily take corners at full speed and make precise maneuvers quickly. Franklin's Special Ability, from the GTA V Manual.įranklin's ability, Driving Focus, allows him to slow down time while driving any land vehicle.
