would be interested in any ideas or ways that people drive..?? and maybe advise on stuff that might reduce accidents?
like when a tyre blows at 70? and when the brakes don't work?

 

start one off..

when the brakes don't work...go down the gears so the RPM drops and then ur do a bandbrake turn?

 

put your head between your legs and kiss your **** goodbye

 

LOL - a la Vertical Limit

 

When a tyre blows, shut the throttle, don't touvh the brake, try and keep steering input to a minimum.

When I was 17, I tried a different approach - when tyre blows, make car perform 2 3/4 twisting front somersult.

 

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck...ouch, ouch, ouch

 

HKSubaru - get yourself on an advanced driver course or two - preferably at least one on the skid pan. One you get a feel on what to expect from your car and what to do in response you'll be far better equipped than anyone can tell you via a BB.

 

You will be safe Phil, as soon as people see the multi coloured scoob they will keep well out of your way

 

fine with the driving....just wanted to know what funny things you guys come out with..

 

Perhaps I should point out that was many years before I got a scoob. It was in my mothers 205 SR (5 door XS). Reporting home was probably more dangerous than the in car acrobatics.

Tyre blow out mid corner with driver 10 days after passing test = sudden realisation that you aren't a good driver despite what all 17 year old's think.

12 years on, (haven't crashed since) - still can't drive, but at least I know it now
