Sign in to disble this ad
Oh boy, was it fun! The snow here is insane, can't see 3 feet. I was driving down the road away from school, and my dad (G2, have to have a passenger with me) was getting antsy. I was doing about 15 when I hit some slippery stuff, back end came out and i smoked a ford explorer. My little dinky toyota suffered a cracked bumper and broken headlight. I managed to pop on of the ford's tires though...

I've been hit by two cars, amazingly the worst i've ever had is a bruise, though the first time i didnt have any injuries whatsoever.

I seem to heal pretty quick.

You don't have to have a passenger with you when you have your G2. Pictures?

Requires passengers? G1 is the first one that you get, then you have to have a fully licensed driver with you.

I demolished a 1986 Jeep Comanche, cuz the driver decided to make a left turn in front of me and another driver, and didn't notice EITHER of us coming at him. I ripped his rear axle off, caved in the whole passenger side of his truck, driveshaft laying on the ground, leaking every fluid possible.

My fender was wrinkled, my bumper was bent, and I lost a headlight. HAHAAA! FORD, BEEOTCHES!!!

Snowmobiles!... I remember all the joints were linked up by trails, or you could just blast out across the lakes or whatever. I guess the trails are patrolled a lot more now.

The Jeep was fun, too. Hard to hurt yourself when the thing only did about 49 mph wide open.

Ah yeah, the good old days.

Oh I just drove my moms Subaru today. Winter driving is fun, plus I did a bit of rally over steer in the snow, almost crashed into a snow bank (slow), but damn it's fun getting that front end over steer then counter steering

At least you studied hard for the test.

G2 you don't need a passenger, and G1 you need someone who in the car who has had their full license for a minimum of 5 years.

Four years, good thing that you studied as well. But that did change recently.

It does sound like you are pretty proud of it though.

HINT: the goal is to try to NOT cause accidents, maybe they didn't cover that in class.

I had my seatbelt on relaaax!

I'm not really 'proud' of it, but it was a learning experience. For the record, the test consisted of several questions like this:

When approaching an unmarked intersection, you:
A) drive through it
B) Slowly drive through it
C) Stop, look both ways, then proceed if clear.
D) Stop, yield traffic in a clockwise rotation

they are easy. way to easy

Wow, in between clicking to reply and actually replying I was reading some philosophy, then I went to reply and got really confused about what I was doing.

It got changed recently, no idea why, but it did. When you and I got our licenses it would have still been 5 years.
