hehe yeh man. Its not hard to change the cornering method its just i don't like slowing down to 5km/h on a main road which speed limit is 70km/h. Its begging for someone to hit me and when i was with the driving instructor we nearly did get hit. I don't go into corners at max speed using the racing line or anything. I just slow down enough for me to get around the corner without scarring the passenger. Its not like i'm trying to go into them as fast as i can, i'm just going wide before a corner because i find it easier to enter/ exit a corner.

u think people are going to hit u up the bum thats all. The reason for that is cause u are still nevious. Pulling into my street from the highway its a tight corner and have u to slow down to nuthing otherwise u go on the other side of the road. Its scary when cars come close to ya, but the chances are they ain't gunna hit ya. Ur just nervious thats all nuthing to worry about, everyone was nervious when they were on there l's.

If your indicating to turn left and your brake lights are on, people are going to be expecting you to be slowing and turning. If I was cruising along and someone in front of me indicated left, slowed down and then hooked right to swing in just as I was about to duck around the outside - thats when accidents start happening.

Its only a car dude, it can be replaced or repaired to better condition than currently is. I think Midz should become a teacher, he likes to tell stories all the time, hehe :mrgreen: You can take a corner quick if your to the right of the lane long before you turn, but if you swerve right then left corner, thats a big no no... So if you know you have to turn shortly, slowly move to right of lane so your prepared to take corner. Plus if you take the 'racing line' you wont get the arse end out If you use the insructors method you will tank slap down the street :twisted: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i remember when i was taking the test, i cant remember the last time my hands were so cramped up, and the gear stick had my finger prints in it. i was also scared people would ram me up the ass when i was turning off a 70 zone to a side street and my dad would always have a go telling me i wasnt here to drive a rally in his car. it all comes with practice.
