rp850 Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I think it's a great idea for all drivers young and old alike to take a car control course from an established driving school like Bondurant, Skip Barber, etc. It teaches you a lot about the car and what to do in emergency situations in a safe, controlled environment. The skills learned in the classes sure come in handy for avoiding the perils of everyday driving. The driver can be 'upgraded' just like the car and sometimes it's a lot cheaper than buying that fancy new performance part. Thanks, EXACTLY! being young is like a "scapegoat" for everything bad that happens when your young, which dont always apply. I mean i can understand if i was racing, or attempting a drift or somethin like that but i just took a u turn to quickly (guess i figured with the extra rubber from the tires +strut brace+sway bars it would not have been a problem which it wouldnt have been if it wasnt, except for the road conditions....

Ya i should do that...however i think the mistake i made was when i lost controll and went sideways is should have accelerated to try to pull out of the slide instead of slamming the breaks which just locked up my wheels and sent me sliding into the curb :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 lol i do admit i took the turn quickly but i wasnt doin anything stupidSilly me.

Über855R Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Silly me.

Whenever I have a multiple choice test in school, I bring tracs with me to make sure I do well. I should get a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NGB Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Well, i'm sure you'll learn from the experience, especially if you have to spend your own money (not money from parents) to repair the car.Sucks that it happens, but now you've got that experience behind you.
