Do you remember the first time you've drove a car?

    Cars are overrated and they kinda suck tbh. But not as much as the first time I rode a bike.   The first time I finally got a grasp on riding my bike, I took off down the road. It was incredible. Th

  • Yep, I Drove a dodge challenger recently. (Really fast lol) Warning: Cars are nothing like they are in video games. The pedals are really sensitive for most cars.. So, you gotta like barely touch the

To be honest, I don't remember the first time I drove. But I do remember the way my mates were driving like they thought they were an invincible rally car driver. I'm not suggesting that you would do the same, but remember that road laws are there for a reason - follow them and you'll be a whole lot safer.

 

Make sure you get familiar with the car before you even turn the engine on, know its power, sensitivity and where all buttons and switches that you may need are.

 

On a less serious note: driving is really fun, it keeps you on your toes and it makes travelling a hell of a lot easier. Have fun!

I drove an unmarked, grey crown vic that was an exact copy of this on a closed course at a Student Trooper Program back in June of 2014.

There was a state trooper that was my driving instructor and they had set up cones to practice things like Turn and Weave, Anti Lock breaking, and tight corners. 

 

Never have I ever had such a thrill in my life than flooring a crown vic and listening to that engine roar at 60MPH with lights and sirens and being able to just suddenly break as hard as  you can in a Crown Vic with tires screeching.

The first time and the only few times I have driven is in a Dodge Caravan. The first time was definitely an interesting experience. Another time, I just about side-swiped a car because I didn't check my blind spot. :)

It was in the parking of a closed ski resort, to avoid cops to bother us as they wouldn't get up there. The thing is that the parking was in a slope and there was no way to put the car totally horizontally. So everytime I released the brakes and messed with the clutch pedal, the engine stalled and the car rolled backwards towards a river that flowed at the bottom of a ravine at the end of the slope...

I do remember my first time driving with my instructor, in order to get my permit. It was a Hyundai Elantra, and boy did I not like that car!  :tongue:

 

The windshield design made it incredibly hard to see, and the car had a sticky brake issue, due to how it was maintained.

 

Driving is literally like riding a bike though. Once you get used to the feel for it, it comes easily!

 

I've never had any bad experiences, such as accidents [a cyborg never does :ph34r: ], but I've dealt with my share of poor drivers who cut me off, flash their hi-beams, and tailgate.

In order to be a good driver, you need to be a defensive driver, a calm driver, but also an aggressive driver when you need to be. Of course, don't road rage, that's not what I mean.

 

What I would suggest for all new drivers is to start out with an older car, from the 80s or the 90s. These cars don't have ridiculous electronics, like all cars have today, and they have real, physical connections between the pedal to the throttle, the shifter to the transmission, etc.

 

These cars will truly teach you how to drive, and how to appreciate driving. Checking your blind spots when switching lanes and turning around when you backup are a must! I can't tell you how many times I've felt like I was going to die when I was in a car where the driver didn't turn around when he backed up, or check any of his blind spots. He literally was always facing forward with both arms on the wheel.  :excl:

I already have a 99 Volvo

Yes! I was 15 and i drove a 2001 argentinian Ford Ranger (MT)... I fell in love with that truck... It isn't very big, it isn't fast but is very cool!

I was very happy! And i felt like a cop! Because the Province Police use them!
