Driver's ED

[ShinGamix]

If you can drive decent in GTA you prob can drive decent in real life

ie if you can resist the urge to floor it and run over all the hookers in GTA.

Not too many ppl can.

Today was the first time I drove with my instructor. He rated me a 6 out of 10. This was my first time driving around town. Everything was going okay until he started to yell. That made me very nervous and scared. I was driving 5 miles above the speed limit and braking down the hill wasn't slowing us down. I told him not to yell at me. He knows this is my first time driving and he is making me more nervous. Hopefully things will be better tomorrow.

Haha I know that feeling xD I just started practicing driving awhile ago, and everytime my instructor yell at me when I first started (even though I don't even go over the speed limit, but I still go quite fast in a crowded road :V) I was like "hey you're NOT helping".

Things will definitely turn better. I remember I had a terrible headache after the first day, and I only practiced for like over an hour. After the second and third day, I couldn't get enough of driving :3

Gotta learn how to pay attention and drive well even while hell is going on around you.

If you can't take being yelled at while driving, I don't want you driving with a significant other in the car (man car arguments are the worst thing, you're stuck. you can't walk away).

I don't know about anyone else, but when I took driver's ed it was kinda like a highschool summer course. The interesting thing was that you HAD to take driver's ed before you could get your lisence. The first half of the course was theory and videos and tests, and the last test was for your learner's permit, then you had to do your in-car hours. Also, if you did it through the school then the course only cost $50. In my opinion that's a smart way to do things. I mean, at least you learned the basics before you get in the car, and your first driving experience is with someone teaching you how to drive properly, and though I agree with Tochfuzzy I don't approve of an instructor yelling at their students. It's not conducive to learning and just makes the student more likely to make mistakes. My dad learned that pretty quick when he took me driving the first time.

Ugh, sorry for the wall of text. I tend to ramble

I do agree a driver will need to learn how to handle hell when driving. Causing hell to someone who has never drove before may lead to more problems. I would understand if the yelling was in a life or death situation. Yelling at a student for being 5 miles over the speed limit is a bit too much. This could had caused a much younger person to panic and have an accident.

I wish my course cost $50. My course costed $375. It's the only driving school in town.

I wasn't really being entirely serious there, man. I kind of agree the dude was probably going a little nutty.

Honestly, who DOESN'T drive 5 miles over.

Where we live the default speed limit is 40. By default it means that even in a 20 MPH zone going 40 is fine. The only real exception is school zones. Awww man Frick school zones .

Seriously though, you are usually granted a 5 MPH leeway in the suburbs and a 5-10 MPH limit in larger speed limit areas. On the parkway usually anything below 70 is fine.

Take this with a grain of salt though, because New York has some of the most aggressive drivers. And I like going fast~~

 

[Touchfuzzy]

In Georgia, they tend to not pull someone over unless they are going 11+ over, because that is when they can slap you with a reckless driving ticket, which skyrockets the fine and makes it worth it to their revenue. Unless you have out of state plates. Out of state plates is the fastest way to get pulled over anywhere.

(School zones, again, being the exception)

I never did any dirvers edbut i got some advice for you. When your driving, if theres a cute little rabbit in the road but no safe way to stop, just run it over, especially when you have passengers in the car. You have to think about saving the most lives in a situation like that and whatever else, you can't endanger the other drivers on the road. Not everyone is as considerate of others when driving as I'd like them to be, especially here in england, but I like to think at least I won't swerve out of the way when a rabbit crosses my path and hit an on coming car

Course if you have a safe way to stop, go for it, a day when no one gets hurt is a good da y Anyway, I don;t think I should be posting so late past my bed time, I cant word the words properly from my nogging
