i cant drive at all. :laugh:
why cant i drive?
say whilst and arse if they dont live in europe somewhere?
-
I can't drive- the thought of being in control of a car whilst I don't know what I'm doing (as I would be at the start of lessons) freaks me out.
Isn't 'whilst' a word in the US too? What would you use instead? ???
-
I can drive, but I don't have a licence. I failed my test 3 times for being too cautious; since I'm not too great at judging speed and distance, I take my time at junctions, and I also have problems with my concentration while driving, and I tend to forget that I'm meant to be watching for the lights changing and things like that.

I think they use "while" for "whilst".
I have been able to drive since I was 13, and I got my license at 18, as early as you can get a car license here.
-
Have no license, but drove a car in a beach parkinglot. Never bothered with the test, too many issues. I have acess to a car, two of them!
-
As far as I've understood, those aspies having problems with taking a driver's license usually have additional diagnosis as ADD/ADHD. I managed the driving test the second time and the theoretical test the first time, but I'm only dxd with AS.
-
Emotional issues... and yes they did give me a dx of ADHD.
-
Did they suggest anything but Abilify for you, like Ritalin, Concerta or Adderall? Those are central stimulants that might help, I say might, because it's very individual if ADHD persons are helped by central stimulants and even the kind of central stimulant.

i drive.
couldn't imagine living without it.

If I didn't live with someone who could drive I'd have probably have been motivated to over-come that fear by now- I know I'm going to have to learn before Dunc goes back to work full-time if only so that the kids can stay at their decent school.
-
I've been thinking about getting a scooter, so that I have a bit more mobility. The tests for that are a lot easier to pass, I think.
-
I drive ... @ 170 MPH !!! :evillaugh:
-
The newest Volvo sports cars can do that if you change that chip we talked about. They're pretty expensive, though. There are only a few motorways in Sweden where you can drive that fast, if you're not an extremely good driver. We should have some more autobahns since we're members of this fucking EU. Swedish roads suck, except E6, E4 and small parts of other European roads.
-
I didn't get a license until just a couple of years ago. Before that, the only time I drove on the roads (I did do some off road crap - chasing sheep and all) was when drunk - and my friends didn't trust themselves (funny I trust myself more when drinking - in a lot of things). I was making some big life changes, and it seemed necessary. Now, I don't anymore. I guess I'm backsliding, but I'm really not safe on the roads anyhow.

that sounds like a great idea. i bet there easy to drive

Can't be much harder than a bicycle, and they're a hell of a lot cheaper to run than a car.

Well, it'll be allot easier than a motorcycle.
You won't have to worry about a clutch and gears, and i assume it'll have a much more forgiving throttle response.
Also keep in mind the steering characteristics will change as speed increases.
If you can handle a bicycle, all you'll need to learn is throttle control and it's steering characteristic at speed.
What sort of speeds will you be traveling at on the scooter?

Scooters are rated for 45mph, but I'd probably be doing mostly 20-30 around here, with a little at 40 now and then. I get up to 30 on my bike going down a hill.

I learnt how to drive at 15.

I know things have changed, but this still sounds like an oxymoron, to me.

I don't own one, but I have been on several scooters. It's a little like a bicycle, but the weight distribution is quite a bit different. They are usually more back-tire heavy, which makes them feel less stable than an English racer, for instance. The only other thing I notice is that their brakes suck. They are very easy to ride, though.

Still getting around to getting my drivers license, the lessons cost a lot of cash. I would have had it last year if did not make one mistake. I will go for another go when I get my student scholarship next month.
I would like to have a car of my own, however the cost of buying even a rustbucket is like $1000, after various costs.
-
I took a driver's education course in school and I got my driver's license when I was 16. I got a 100% on the written test and I passed the driving test, the first time I took it. I know I had points off the driving test because the light changed to red while I was in the middle of the intersection waiting to turn left and I froze until the examiner told me to go.
-
i can drive an automatic car only. i have my driver's license and i passed my written exam with 100% twice. i did the written exam twice because there is a six month expiry on the learner's permit and i forgot about it the first time so it expired. i had to write the test again to get a new learner's permit. i also passed the driving exam the first time i took the road test. i only got 5 demerits and that was for accidentally shifting the automatic car into reverse instead of drive but my foot was on the break the whole time, i just shifted the wrong way. i got my license when i was 18, on the first tuesday in september 1996 because i figured since i was starting university i should probably get some photo identification. i like driving but only if there is very little traffic. i don't trust other drivers. i can't drive a standard. i tried and i practiced for a year. i can steer the car and pay attention to the road very well. i can start and shift the car using the clutch very well. i just can't do both at the same time; for some reason i don't have the physical coordination to steer the car and shift the gears at the same time. when i shift, i look at the shifting stick and i can't steer. when i steer, i can't find the shifting stick without looking for it, also i'm busy concentrating on steering so i forget to use the clutch. i don't own a car and i don't have any intention of owning one but i keep my license current.

Volvo made a few sports cars back already back in the 1960s. Never heard of the P1800 and P1900 series?
What about this one?

European police cars usually make 260 kmph/160mph, so the manufacturers usually limit the speed of the cars electronically, mostly for familiy cars, to 250 kmph/155mph. It's not illegal to make cars going faster, though, and you can change the chip in the engine if you have the skills, or make a mechanic do it for you. But the Germans and Austrians are the only Europeans allowed to drive as fast as they want, and not on all parts of the autobahn. It's cool, though, that they still have such a right. 8)
-
Got licensce at 16. Can only drive automatic.
-
When I was young, you couldn't start taking driving lessons before 17 years and 9 months, and you couldn't get a license before you were 18. Now it's legal to start taking driving lessons at 16 but you still have to be 18 before you get the license. The only good thing with that is that you can get a long time practice and that you can get your license immediately after your 18th birthday. And since last year, you need to go a special course to be a private teacher for a friend or relative. Before that, you just had to be over the age of 24 and have had a license for at least 6 years yourself, which usually would coincide.
There is one good thing, though: unless you commit a serious traffic crime or a felon, a car license (class "B" in Sweden) is for life. No health controls are necessary to keep it. You will usually have it revoked if exceeding 30kmph/20mph, but you will automatically get a new one just by paying your ticket and sending in a newly taken photo of yourself to the Road Department.

When I think of a sports car, I think of fast, but quick is more important to me, as with most American youngsters, due to our car-crazy lifestyle. I'm familiar with the P1800, (quite!) since it sports one of my all time favorite body lines. (I always wanted to drop a hemi in the backseat of one of those station wagons.) I even road in one once, but my buddy's mom's box stock six cylinder Mustang would walk all over it in every acceleration contest and corner well, too. Actually I think the Mustang six cylinder cars handled better than the V8s, because of an almost two hundred pound weight difference, up front.
Those old 1800s and 1900s were, cool, but the modern one looks too much like a Volvo to be a sports car. It's just a visual thing. I really don't know anything about the C90, except that it looks expensive and that it is plenty sporty enough to collect tail.
-
It's a good-looking car but that image is photoshopped. There's no such thing as a Volvo C90, and there are no prototypes of one either.
-
WTF? Am I fooled? ??? There is an XC90. I thought there was a C90 as well. :-[ It must be a photoshopped C70.
Volvo is a good and reliable car, but if I had the money, I wouldn't choose a Volvo sports car but a Mercedes of some kind.
-
pwned.

There are only a few motorways in Sweden where you can drive that fast, if you're not an extremely good driver. We should have some more autobahns since we're members of this fucking EU. Swedish roads suck, except E6, E4 and small parts of other European roads.
Or you could go Drag Racing like me. ;) As amatter of fact, I hear Drag Racing is somewhat popular in Sweden.

I got my license whan I was 18 and I I drive only when I have to. It's hard for me to drive when I have a passenger.

especially when your passenger is a young lady who is giving you a hummer.
how many ladies here have given a man a blowjob while he is driving, or haven't yet, but would?
-
I have recieved many blowjobs by driving. It's really a thrill to know that you may end up dead or at least with an amputated cock. 8)

any of the ladies care to chime in?

I wouldn't. I was too traumatized by Thinner. However, along the same vein, I might ask to RECIEVE a little pleasure while driving if there are slow-moving gypsies in town and I feel fat.
-
oooh la la.

I've given pleasure to a girl while she drives. Didn't have a car and girl myself at the same time.
I figure I would have a hard time explaining one to the other.

How does a conversation about not driving turn to one about road head anyways?
Only here. :laugh:

I've never driven a vehicle with automatic transmission. I'm given to understand that being able to drive a "stick shift" is considered something akin to a superpower in North America, but that's the only thing I've ever driven. I wouldn't have a clue what to do if someone put me in an automatic.
-
That's the thing. Not much you need to do. :orly:
-
I think I would find that incredibly unnerving.

That's why americans are obese, it's easier to eat while driving. :zoinks:
-
Oh, you can gorge yourself regardless.
-
I have been driving for nearly 22 years.
-
I did start taking lessons, but could no longer afford them. That and having seizures means I'd be an idiot to get behind the wheel, somebody could get killed.
If I had to use a car to get from one place to another, I could make it get there, but no license, the only use my privisional has now is for ID, not that I ever need it, since I look old enough to do anything age-restricted so I never get ID'ed. Otherwise its no use.
-
Stopped driving after getting blackouts. The first big one I had behind the wheel. Very happy I only hurt myself and the borrowed car.
Blackouts are gone, but hardly ever regret not having a car. I use my time in public transport to unwind. Found a way to even do that on very crowded buses. (Does not work if the driver is a really lousy driver, bit if it's really bad, I can get out asap and take the next bus. I've done that once.)
-
Been driving for 30 years now.
I used to love it, especially long road trips.
Now it's just a chore, unless it's on a new road, to a new place that I've never been to before.
Being on a motorcycle is more fun, for the first 200 miles or so, then it becomes boring. After 350 it becomes painful.

My wife has bought a big SUV. I've never driven one before. All my life I've been a polite, defensive driver, but after a couple of weeks driving this thing I find I'm barging through small gaps, making other people brake and generally being an arse on the road.
I love it.

I miss that yacht of a truck SO had. Nothing worse than giving a tiny woman a big truck after she's driven nothing but tiny cars for 20+ years.
Damn I was an asshole...and it was soooo goood.
"Bitch pleeease?...you motion for ME to back up while driving that tiny little Mini Cooper??...You better be putting that puppy into reverse before I hit 4 wheel drive....I don't think so." >:D
I want a Hummer...the huuuge model.
-
IQ-you know you can get the likes of a russian T-64 online now these days, in working order......
Then you wouldn't even NEED to signal (do tanks HAVE indicator signals? not sure on that.) Somehow I doubt they need any, people will get the message.

NEVER get a small car without the necessary horsepower... or missiles.

I feel left out because the closest I've come to driving is riding a pushbike (and can't even do that nowadays :( )
But I surely can relate to the above. Anybody want to know what that's like, just cycle round a city for half and hour. . Motorists just put you on "ignore" .

I never ignore pushbikes. I actively aim at them. :zoinks:

Mine has the supercharged engine so absolutely can shit-and-get-it, and it doesn't get the gas mileage it looks like it should. Unfortunately it came without the missile package. :laugh:

It's just a hazard of bikers and pedestrians. Drivers instinctively look at the cars, and can even completely miss a motorcycle directly in front of them in the same flow of traffic.

Walkie, why not trade in for this, nobody is going to cut you up in this:
http://www.exarmyvehicles.com/offer/tracked-vehicles/tanks/main-battle-tank-t-72#lightbox-grouped[g]/0/
Russian T-72, max speed 50 km/hour (road) 30 across rougher terrain,
Weapon outfit-main cannon: 125mm (smoothbore), pair of machineguns, 1x7.62mm co-axial mount and 12.7mm heavy autocannon, anti-aircraft capability.
Pretty unfussy about fuel type too, capable of running on petrol, diesel or even paraffin oil.
Or for something smaller, a little faster, by way of a light scout tank with night-ops specialization, including radar, secondary radar for small targets, along with night vision, laser rangefinder along with laser sight countermeasures (detection of active irradiation targeting), max speed 65km/h smooth terrain 45 rough ground, main gun smoothbore with 7.62mm machinegun and antitank rocket launchers
Maybe a self-propelled howitzer, ShKH vz.77 'dana', top speed 80km/h 152mm howitzer, up to 60 round reserve capacity, dependent on ammo type, wheeled rather than tracked, light antiaircraft machinegun (very light, for an AA gun, just 7.62mm, still would do just fine to deal with shitty drivers, and you could use the light AA backup as the perfect tool for dealing with those lycra-clad shitheads who are not just ordinary, decent cyclists but the kind of fuckheads who obsess over their bikes and ride like, well, fuckheads and think they were born to own the roads. Would be the last time THEY do any cutting up.
And with a maximum range (main weapon, if using specialized long-range ammunition, 20km, with a range for the standard ammo of a bit over 4 1/2 km) then anyone who's pissed you off and sped off...well they better be pretty quick off the mark and get lucky every time you get a shot off (and for a damn long time if your packing the long range grenade launcher variant (only 40 round max capacity for the main turret but with a 20km range that ought to give any bastard driver an awful case of the shites:D)

LOL @ Lestat. Love the idea .
But like I said, I don't cycle any more and there;'s a reason (or severa for that)l , and Isome of that reasoning extends to any form of vehicle, even including a powered wheelchair.
I'd be a danger to both self and others on wheels.
Ofc DVLA would let my drive a powerered vwheelchair, or one of those shopping buggies , because thety;re not regulated , but they damned well ought to be, IMO. I'd be one of those suicidal, antisocial assholes that ride roughshod d over pedestrians, straight iinto the path of uncoming traffic etc. Couldn't help it. I have absences, twitches, spasms, and all kinds of attention issues.

At least you could AFFORD to be an antisocial prick in a tank, I don't for some reason, get a mental picture of a very long list of complaints from those with toes that came afoul of your shitty tank driving.
The really ironic thing is that currently there is a horror movie just starting on TV and so far, its foo early to get an idea of what the plot is, but it seems like one of what might turn out to be main characters is a young boy, wheelchair bound but in some sort of home-built motorized, petrol-driven thing and the wheelchair is of the meant-to-be hand-propelled variety, only with a petrol engine and a pair of hand-brakes and motorcycle-style handlebar mounted throttle control.

Huh? you've lost me there, Lestat. In what sense could I possibly afford it?

Yes Mr. Mackey.

Just seen the replies here.
To clarify, I was using a secondary meaning of 'to afford'. Not referencing financial assets, but rather, in the sense of 'capable of being with no consequence to oneself', 'that which one may 'get away with'.
As in 'one would break one's hand if one punched a brick wall, but one could afford to do so with a hammer without injury'
I.e walkie driving about in a tank, SHE isn't going to have any problems. Other people might, and probably would do, if they could neither run like hell for cover, or drive a faster vehicle without impeding traffic slowing a getaway. As would parked cars, trucks, traffic bollards, lamp posts and anything in-between. But walkie, tucked safely away in her tank could afford to take on most obstacles, and those that couldn't simply be overrun and squashed could be blasted out of the way by large-caliber shell-fire or shredded by 50-cal AP rounds (or just riddled with bullets if its one of those tanks that carries only a light machinegun rather than an autocannon/chaingun as secondary armament)

I dunno. I'd consider breaking my hand itself as 'injury'.
I'm not sure why a hammer is any better than a wall.

I can't drive. Eyesight problems.

Damn implications. It was meant to be obvious where the metaphorical hammer was aimed (>wall, daftarses)
I really need to hang around more autistic people and get out of that habit, its become annoying.
