Sadly hes right, this is why people should lean in older cars.
As when you pasas you dont have a nice new car with pas and crap brakes (some kids do) When you first try and park in a tight small space with no pas you'll have a c**t of a time.

[stevie-p]

and having to stamp on the brakes to stop

yehs thats exactly right, i find the yaris boring and easy, turnings no fun either and it doesnt feel like its connected to the wheels!! Novas are much more fun:thumb:

Yeah thats why leaners sound be in old cars. So you learn how to park in a tight ass space.

[Curtoise]

yup for example when i got outa my instructers yaris and into ma nova, i nearly hit a parked mazda because i got used to the steering of the yaris, being not having to turn in much

[MK999]

I was wondering how long it's take you to reply on here

[mayhem]

or not.

i dont know the UK driving lessons, but if you drove a lot before taking lessons, you could up ending with a 'own' driving style, which could be the wrong one when youre going to take lessons.

[Curtoise]

yeh only if your an iddiot lol, just remember not to cross your hands on the wheel and always check mirrors and you will be safe, helped me anyways

[mayhem]

im kinda an idiot then lol

the first time the instructor wanted me to overtake another car... i inmediatly wanted to throw it back in 3rd gear and rev the sh!t out of it lol

[Curtoise]

yeh you make a good point, i do that too, lol you just have to think calmly and not to race about

[MK999]

That isn't the best way? Bollocks. :( How the hell else do I overtake anything in a 1.2i? lol

[Jack]

This is true. I still maintain they teach you how to pass a test, not how to drive a car.

Simple. You don't lol

[MK999]

Simple. You don't lol

But it's pretty limited as it is, without revving the nuts off it i'm limited to pedestrians and breakdowns :(

[Customsam]

im learning too, i im ready for my test but my instructor keeps telling me im not when i know i am lol :D

[Curtoise]

lol unlucky, change your instructer

[Sonny Jim]

take their advice its the best way. sometimes they can try to milk it though

[Emmy]

Good luck boys :thumb:
