its EXPERIENCE yes im young but i was taught to drive by my father in our 185kw EL xr8 on my Ls he taught me how to corner and stay on my side of the road whilst still giving it some he made me go as fast as i could through the corner and not get sideways whilst i exited the corner he made me do this until i was able to get it perfect. my old man had quick cars throughout his youth and so have i TE50 series1 eb xr6, and my current sprint. i used to do security patrols from when i was 18 so i drove well over 1200 kays a week for 3 years and in that time i saw so many people do stupid things on the road. my old man also did patrols for 20 years and probably drove well over 1 million kays id say more like 2 million in his career. In my driving record i have been booked 3 times (once whilst working) in my driving career from Ls to now i have done an estimated 300,000+kays work+personal. for my age i have alot of experience and understand the dynamics of cars and although i do muck around on the road in my car and on my bike (cbr250rr)i still exercise some caution. i know how silly people can be but i still maintain that u can be "safe" and have "fun". im not trying to show off but i will always agree its experince not age thats the problem u can be young and have good experience people today need advanced driving courses and also need to drive as much as they can whilst learning in all conditions. my old man gave me some skills and this taught me to understand car dynamics. Flame me all u like and disagree all u like thats my opinion based on my experiences i have seen bad accidents(also i have never been in an accident believe it or not) and people do stupid stuff my whole driving career and its not always young blokes or chicks. |
