Things they don't teach you at driving school

Post by ruchi »

What things do you do in your car that require a certain amount of skill, that weren't taught to you at driving school?

e.g. driving with your knees while you eat a hamburger

Pulling hand brake is my favorite.
Attractes the most attention from the chicks, spookes them sometimes though, especially, cornering with handbreak right in front of them, while they are waiting to cross the road, heheheeehe
Arghhhhh, I love it.
