"I play games so I'm better at something."

Research has shown that gamers usually have a higher rate of car accidents.

research has shown bull stuff

Just don't be a total richard while you're behind the wheel and you won't have any trouble.

Just gotta relax.


I took drivers ed in the middle of the winter.


All 6 of my behind-the-wheel days were when it snowed and was icy.


If you haven't passed a car yet in however long you've been driving..


Well stuff, how the hell have you not?

Tips just because I played alot of driving games, and I've been in a car enough times AND Im in Minniapolis at the moment.
 Don't stress over a billion things, but don't forget everything. And make sure you don't get caught behind some teen or some grandma or someone who would STOP right infront of you.
Good luck.

Gametip: Play more GTA4.

99% of this post is wrong. Games do not teach you driving. Good driving can only be taught through experience.

Not entirely true.


We played racing games in my drivers ed class.

Except we sat in car simulators and had the windshield as the tv and had to control with actual car controls.



forget I loved drivers ed.

My advice based on how I drive is to try and get a feel for what is going on. Pay attention to when people seem to slow in one particular spot on the road as something may be up such as a dumbass trying to switch lanes incorrectly. Also look out for jackasses who don't use blinkers.

Basically, don't trust anyone else to know what they are doing.

At least he doesn't live in LA.

You're going to kill your father when you mess up and swerve into an oncoming car and it smashes through the passenger-side door impaling and crushing the life out of him inches away as he futily coughs his last words through his twisted, broken body and face that sprays blood on you for just a little before the heart finally gives up as it recognizes the useless in striving to be as its own genetic offspring had killed it, ended its life prematurely when its sister organ had so much more knowledge to impart. まほ～

That was depressing.
And graphic. :c

[Caution]

I usually tend to not follow closely because people are indeed idiots when it comes to driving here no matter the road conditions. Off of one of the highway exits there's cars flying all loving over three lanes to get to their destination in like 1/8 of a mile because they're too stupid to figure out how to do it without being dumb. I've encountered people who can't drive even in behind the wheel. I was stopped at a stop sign forever waiting for this car to pass and he finally turned his blinker on as he was going around the corner. I was following this car on Broadway and it was going fricking ten miles an hour and randomly turns. It was so tempting to shoot around it but I don't think my instructor would've liked that.

Monocle, I haven't passed yet because my dads truck scares me. He has a Ram 2500 heavy duty with a loud exhaust system on it. He had me floor it on a straightaway once and that was scary. I also only do like 60 on highways which everyone else seems to do. Its speeding but nothing anyone gets tagged for. I've never been stuck behind slow cars, I was usually the slow car but not so much now.

Dill, no offense but Im not gonna take tips from someone who's never driven before. My dads dumbass step mom sees how I drive in GTA when Im messing around and she's like AND THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T DRIVE MY CAR. As if driving is even remotely similar to that. I wouldn't want to drive a loving coffee stained bad-smelling low rider filled with random stuff you're too lazy to take out of your damn car.

I did one behind the wheel when it was nice in December. A lot of roads still had some snow on them and I didn't do too bad there; it didn't really effect my driving aside from having to assume where the lines were and I began slowing a lot earlier.

Make sure to stop at the caution signs.

Drive defencive (I.E. get ready to evade a car at the last second)

When you are driving, no matter where you are driving, imagin everyone DOSNT know how to drive. They can and will slam on the breaks on a green light in a heart beat.

Obviously follow rule signs, lights, etc and always obey cops (If he becomes the new traffic light)

Seatbelt needs no explination

Since you will be driving in a assumed busy city, there is no need to have the car go fast or accelerate till the red light. Instead of accelerating until you are 100ft from the light and having to slam the breaks, stop accelerating at let's say 200-300ft and have momentum take you. Your not on a boat where it slows you down immediately, you have wheels (incase you forget lol)

This might not include you but just incase:
Alot of my girl_friends (and only a small amount of guys) are scared to drive because the cars get so close on the lanes that they fear they will get hit. Relax and don't worry, I would recommend driving the car BEFORE driving into public places so that not only do you know how responsive the car is but also you get a feeling of the car. When you fully sync yourself with the car, you know how much space you have between the car and the object (very helpful for parking)

My dad taught me that "anyone can drive but to be the best driver, you drive for everyone else"

That's some tips I know. Ask and I can help you out.

[Caution]

My dad said the opposite; forget everyone else, concentrate on yourself.

Also its a company car, a Ford Taurus. I've driven it before and its really comfortable. :o
