my birds driving instructor

[turbojolt]

he has banned her from going anywere in the van with me the week leading up to her test lol

apprantly he can tell the diffrence in her driving after she has been in the van with me and not in a good way lol

only using her wing mirrors
engine braking
driving miles to fast around corners and rounderbouts ect


not good not good at all

[pie]

lol

[mowgli]

well, engine braking isn't bad driving.. using wing mirrors is ok, and any woman who can actually go fast round corners is a good thing...

[autoworksnovasport]

whats he moaning about sounds perfect to me

[wwmnw]

Ditto what's been said above, engine breaking is good, breaking engines isn't so don't do what I did the other night and go from 4th to 3rd on the red line lol can I claim whiplash against myself lmao

[turbojolt]

Lol that's how my brother bent 16valves racing a beemer lol

[wwmnw]

My Fiesta is already fooked so I cant really break it much more lol as long as its lasts til the end of december!

[mowgli]

why, is santa getting you a bike??

[turbojolt]

I liked my fiesta until it blew the bottom end on the m1 whill I was in the fast lane nearly **** my self lol

[wwmnw]

why, is santa getting you a bike??

I hope the fat ******* gets me a better one than I have now or he wont be jolly when he's picking up his teeth with broken fingers!

[Stuart]

tbh he wants her to pass her test (well actually he dosent but you know what I mean), and as such dosent want her picking up failable driving traits from van man....

[mowgli]

the worse habit she'll pick up is the one where she puts the seat in a proper position with legroom.... so he can't look down her front...

[turbojolt]

Hopefully she does pass this time she is ready apparently just needs to stay away from me lol 3rd time lucky and all that

[mowgli]

i think the advice is not specifically about your driving..........lol

[turbojolt]

I can't wait for her to get a car lol been looking at the 1.7 td corsa's are they any good

[autoworksnovasport]

awsome good fuel econimy and pretty quik toooo

[Stuart]

awsome good fuel econimy and pretty quik toooo

Unless owned by TJ..... then it will be a thirsty slow lemon lol

[turbojolt]

Unless owned by TJ..... then it will be a thirsty slow lemon lol


But it won't be it will be her car smart **** lol

[Jack]

As Stuparp said, he's teaching her to pass the test. Mind you, I'm sure I was taught engine braking but that was a few years ago now.

As for 3rd time, pah. 7th is when you start asking questions lol

[turbojolt]

I don't like to even count her first one she was no were near ready due to the complete Dick that was ment to be teaching her, but this new instructor is spot on

[mowgli]

this new instructor is spot on

if she is on test #3, he isn't

[Stuart]

if she is on test #3, he isn't


Some people arent meant to drive... plain and simple (the people too)

[mowgli]

someone i knew had failed her theory test 9 times.... i advised her that maybe it was gods way of saying 'take the bus'

[wwmnw]

I must have been born to drive then, passed my theory first time still drunk and passed my practical first time (sober) 10 minors though lol attempting a 3 point turn in 2nd gear is never a good idea once, twice was quite embarrassing lol

[turbojolt]

She passed her theory first time and her last test was carved up by some cock in a beemer that was classed as a serious fault on her behalf but other then that 1 serious she only had 5 minors which is good

[wwmnw]

Surely she'd be better off just sucking the tester off for a pass?

[turbojolt]

I did suggest the whole short skirt and low cut top

[bazil]

PIcs of said missis??!?!?!!?!??

[wwmnw]

He posted a pic of her somewhere, she is hot.

[bazil]

I'll go and do some stalking, sorry searching ,,

[mowgli]

a fail is a fail. there is no room for excuses.

[Tim]

My mother in law took 9 attempts to pass her practical test. Her driving is awful. Definatlty not a born driver.

[Hobbit]

My mother took 21 goes to pass her test 100's of lessons and ended up using a hypnotherapist to make her believe she could pass. lol

As for engine braking, they started discouraging you from using it a few years back as apparently brake pads are cheaper than clutches. well that's what i was told for my class 2 test.

[Jack]

That explains why nobody under 25 can drive on ice & snow then. lol

[turbojolt]

This year will be my first driving on ice and snow ect

[turbojolt]

a fail is a fail. there is no room for excuses.

I don't know about that, my brother failed one test when some foreign bloke come out of a t junction and smashed in to the cars rear quarter lol

[Andy]

That explains why nobody under 25 can drive on ice & snow then. lol
Exactly that.

ZOMFG!! PANIC!! ICE!! TIME TO SLAM ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And crash!

Also you get shag all engine braking from a Derv / lots of cars are slushers these days so again no engine braking there.....

Put a berlingo in 1st at 40mph and see what happens then................

[mowgli]

on our big scanias, they use a lot of engine braking, with in built retarders to do a lot of the braking effort..

The big problem with a td is since they made them all revvy, when they are on boost, there is no engine braking left, so they have to engineer it back in...
