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? ;)

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. :)

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 :D

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 :D
