SHE Girls can't drive

Mate, most of the women I've known have been pretty ordinary drivers.

My partner has an endearing habit when driving down country roads of sailing into tightening bends and giving the brakes a kick when she realises she's gone in a bit hard.

It's not a problem in the big blue Super Sube, as the AWD and the variable torque split cope pretty well, but in the ol' Vectra on a changing camber corner it used to get pretty interesting. Any who's done reasonably serious driver training knows that sort of stuff is a big No-No in FWD.

It's that old spacial perception thing, I think. She's pretty good at sticking up for herself in Sydney traffic - one of the things I admire about her is she doesn't take crap - especially from that 19 yo with his cap backwards in the riced up Civic!

vat.....good for her

 

[Joey D]

.....well I was saying most girls I know can't drive. Like one of my friends. She has had like 5 accidents with in 2 years. Thats terriable.

I also wouldn't take any crap from some 19 year old kid in a Civic. I'd have to so him a 17 year old can drive better

She loves AWD now, so we've bought our last 2WD car. I explained to her why the Vectra always seemed unsettled to her - she just shrugged her shoulders and said 'oh well'.

I must get her on to a Advanced Driver Training course - only been talking about it for four years!

Im going to start driver courses maybe next month. So I should take some notes.

 

[whitez]

evo...there arent any lessons here

 

[Evolution Racer]

I meant for future posts.

Here are some tips

Always Drive the speed limit no more no less.
Don't run stop signs
Don't swear
Don't go 30 through a parking lot
Always buy the instructor a pop if you stop at a Fast food place.

 

[whitez]

true true

 

[Joey D]

All the stuff I did

 

[whitez]

yeah, you really bought him a pop?

 

[Evolution Racer]

Always buy the instructor a pop if you stop at a Fast food place.

Ice pop or Loly-pop?

 

[whitez]

to be sure....buy both

 

[Joey D]

Yup I had to suck up to him after the **** I did. And it was a soda pop. Sorry I'm from Michigan

 

[Evolution Racer]

ok.

 

[Evolution Racer]

5 mph speed limit in parking lots, right?

 

[Joey D]

Us Michigan folks talk a little different

 

[Joey D]

I don't know

 

[Joey D]

I go between 10 and 15

 

[Evolution Racer]

Well, I have a manual, of which my mom got for free at her work, and it already is filled out in the written test part. I just need to find it.

 

[Joey D]

Ah ok

 

[whitez]

what manual?

 

[Evolution Racer]

Hydroplaning happens at 35 MPH and at 55mph, all the tires can be on pure water.

 

[Evolution Racer]

State of New Hampshire Driver's Manual.

 

[Joey D]

Hmm Hydroplanning is fun on an oprn road with no cars. My friend who has a WRX does it all the time. He'll see a hugh puddle then get the car up to 80 and hit it. He see how long he can control it. Its quite fun
