Can You Drive?
 
I've been meaning to start lessons forever but I've never got round to it, gonna try later this month and I was just wondering who here can drive :spin2: (legally, as in, not a provisional licence)

Black Dagger 12-03-2012 10:11 PM

No, although I am allowed free driving lessons when I want them, so whether I take them up or not, we'll see.

It's awesome when you first start driving. I remember ****ting myself after I'd passed my test and I was allowed to go off and drive on my own. My instructor and I mainly stayed around the same parts, but all of a sudden I had so much to learn.

I remember thinking that I was a really good driver, too. But it's only as I've gotten a bit older, I realise how bad I actually was.

MTVN 12-03-2012 10:11 PM

Yeah, put off learning for a while as well because I thought I wasn't that bothered about it and I did get a bit sick of the lessons towards the end but I'm glad I did get round to it, love driving now

King Gizzard 12-03-2012 10:11 PM

Never really seen the point for myself when there is public transport/friends willing to drive you place (and no I don't spunge they offer lol)

Will learn eventually and get an old suzuki jeep no matter how much the insurance will cost

LemonJam 12-03-2012 10:12 PM

Yup, really badly.

GypsyGoth 12-03-2012 10:13 PM

Nope, driving and roads scare me.

Niall 12-03-2012 10:13 PM

I have my provisional and I'm gonna start learning soonish, so learning I guess. :suspect:

Samuel. 12-03-2012 10:13 PM

Yeah, I got my licence last summer. Forgotten a lot of it though, as I haven't driven since.

Ninastar 12-03-2012 10:14 PM

Learning and I gots my car already

my test is booked too

Brother Leon 12-03-2012 10:14 PM

Yeah. Might make a What's Your Car Thread if I remember.

Ninastar 12-03-2012 10:15 PM

I want to show off my car, it's a babe

Shasown 12-03-2012 10:18 PM

Yes had my licence for a little while and would say I can drive safely and competently.

Livia 12-03-2012 10:20 PM

Yes... I've got a full motorbike licence too.

Shaun 12-03-2012 10:22 PM

I've taken about 10 lessons so far but what with Uni I just don't have the time/money to do it up here. I enjoy it, but I'm an incredibly nervous driver. Apparently my handling is good though :shrug: just wish gears didn't exist :p

Smithy 12-03-2012 10:24 PM

Drive an automatic then shaun? :p

Niall 12-03-2012 10:26 PM

I still don't understand how people just remember to change gears without thinking about it. :suspect:

Ninastar 12-03-2012 10:27 PM

it's easy

Niall 12-03-2012 10:28 PM

But how :suspect:

Shaun 12-03-2012 10:29 PM

Driving an automatic only gets you a really pointless license and let's face it makes you look like a dick

Niall 12-03-2012 10:29 PM

Lots of people have told me you can tell from the sound of the engine, but whenever I listen to it when someone changes gears it all sounds the same :suspect:

Marc 12-03-2012 10:30 PM

Yeah, been driving for about 6 years now... :shocked:

That's because they probably know to do it before it becomes noticeable, tbh when I first started driving all things like that seemed really complicated but it does all just come natural over time

LemonJam 12-03-2012 10:55 PM

oh and if anybody here has failed their test more times than me I'll send them a fruit basket.

Jords 12-03-2012 11:35 PM

Nope, been meaning to start also but aint got the money. Had a car at 1 point but we sold it because I hadnt even started lessons and IDK when I will :joker:

I had a go in it and Im not a natural thats for sure. Didnt like other drivers on the road ahhh
