Learning To Drive?

[Knobley]

Took me 10 hrs to lern how to drive a stick shift, its np.

btw how to solve nr.1: deny him sex until you get his car = ??? = profit.

Relationship counseling at its finest!

Any time Skugo's comments don't have a reference to porn/masterbation/sex, a shed a single tear.

Methinks a lot of people have not bought a car in some time.

If you pay cash for a car, no you don't need a license. If you finance a car, the bank financing it for you requires proof of insurance, and to get insurance you have to have a license.

So in short, if you want to get a car before you get a license, you'll probably need to get one you can pay cash for. Apologies if you already stated this was your intention. I just saw a lot of people saying you don't need a license to buy a car which is only true in that case.

Hachoo is correct, at least thats how they did my most recent car.

But, learning to drive, in the Pacific Northwest, in Winter: get a 1987 Honda. Bang it into a couple poles, slide off the road, hell, even follow the truck spreading salt/sand on the road. Your first car will always take a beating, don't make a large investment in something that will get depreciated against the side of your garage/nieghbors pickup/garbage can.

Vyn, if you can multi-box you can drive =p.

The same amount of attention it takes to watch 5 characters, is like watching all those idiots out on the road. Ill be honest some of the simulators for driving in like dave and busters and such are very similar to driving, just learning the rules and what not is really the *tough* part (and its not that tough). You can also be insured with a permit with most companies.


get your license girl, I did mine on the first try no studying lol.

Just have your boyfriend take you to a large empty parking lot. Have him put you through a few tests.

Then just goto the DMV take the written test.

This process is pretty simple. Even people at age of 16 do it! :P

I take it that the bf's car is a standard transmission. The best thing you can do is this:

a) Wide Open Parking Lot, switch seats. Learn gas & Brake. Learn to drive front and back, than turning left & right.
b) Practice turning above all else, turning is probably one of the most difficult things to learn when driving. It's something about knowing the dimension's of you're car.
c) If you can multibox the way you're videos show, driving is gonna be a walk in the park, but even people die in parks :whistling:

Btw, seattle drivers are just as bad, if not worst than Portland, OR drivers. Did you know WA & OR usually are #1 & #2 top states for best drivers. East coast being the worst.

The best advice I guess I can say is this, if you are driving & feel tired. Please pull over and either switch with whoever you're with or call a friend. Don't be like my mom in being proud the oldest got his permit. I not only had a full day of school, basketball game, & this test...Basically I ended the 1st day of my permit putting the car into the garage door. $1018 later my mom was still laughing ?(

I agree with everything Keyclone said

Man, that's just wierd how you HAVE to have insurance to buy/drive a car. Here, if we want a car, we buy it, then we go thhrough the process of figuring out if we want to insure it or not. I've been driving stick since I was 9 and finally got my liscence at 18, and with this experience I can tell you that everybody makes mistakes on the road.

Always be aware of your surroundings, you can be the best driver in the world but it only takes someone else to get you killed.

Always indicate before turning and changing lanes.

Avoid peak hours.

Your first car should not be flash, get something cheap but reliable. here in Austrlia it's pretty much a Holden Commodore.

Learn the change a tyre and always carry a spare. It's pretty easy to do actually, just jack up the car, unscrew the nuts, take the tyre off, fit on the new tyre, screw on the nuts in a star pattern, check balance, tighten the nuts. lower the jack.

Do a weekly engine check that includes fuel, oil level, power steering level, radiator fluid level, abs brakes fluid level and wind screen washer levels. These are all easy to find and easy to check. If you want to go further check the headlights, indicators brake and reverse lights while you are at it.

Have you guys thought about getting a trailer instead and using that?

That's like saying using illegal drugs isn't illegal, acquiring them is. Sure, I can buy a car from someone without a license but I can't officially own it until it's registered and I can't drive it until it's insured. The point everyone is trying to make is that you need to get at least a permit before getting a car. My uncle didn't have a license but he bought a S15 truck from a guy for $400. He planned on making cigarette runs with it. Cops and the original owner showed up later that week and took the 'stolen' car back. No bill of sale, no registration or title change, not your car

State to state is different too, but it all boils down to what the cops ask for when you are pulled over; license, registration and proof of insurance.

a year ago i tok the driving lisence my self. at the age of 32. never needed it before. but needed it at the tiem i tok it.
irony is that 3 months after igot it. i dont need it. still good to have however.

1 get the theory part done with a bit of theory in your head it get a bit easier.
2 have someone that is a experienced all year all weather conidition to teach you to drive.
3 start at a parking loot, move to small side roads learn learn to start, stop park your park at a predeterimied location aka next next ligtb/sign postbox or someting.
when you ave mastered the stoping starting and blinking in and out to do it on small roads, move on to country roads, and so on.

10 my aunt , her and me
we drive in all weather condition day and nigth, mastering the driving at nigth with snow and ice makes the rest of it much easier.

think of it this way. atleast you do not have to multbox driving 5 cars and yes you will be prepered to drive 1 car easely enough

btw unless you want a show of car to get laid, perhaps get a hybrid car or someting toyota priur nice easy to drive, or perhaps some other brand of hybrid that looks a bit more masculin
