Good riddance to people who think they “know how to drive”. If they did that stuff on private tracks, fine, but in my experience they prefer to use the public road network, which is obviously built and managed for transportation only.
- tadfisher 2y agoIt's still fun to push it (a little) on back roads, where the primary danger is to yourself. Just don't cross the double yellows and don't overtake your braking zone, e.g. speeding around blind corners. And I highly suggest a day of performance driving lessons from your local HPDE club. It will help you understand what is going on with the car that makes it lose traction, and to unlearn some bad habits when that happens.
- verandaguy 2y agoI think there's two kinds of "knows how to drive." - There's the people you're talking about, who treat public roads like their own playgrounds with little regard for public safety or road laws. - There's also people who will keep an eye on their surroundings, understand how weather affects driving performance (acceleration, braking, cornering) and when to use or not use automation like adaptive cruise As long as we've got a car-centric society in North America I'm more than fine with more drivers falling into that second bucket but having to deal with roads in Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal very regularly, most people just don't pay attention on the road.
