I was watching G4 two days ago. They have this new show that's like Max-X or Real Videos. There was this segment about a car running through the front of a pizza parlor and guess what....it was a pre89 MKIII. Two tone, blue above the molding and silver under it. The people were saying that the driver was trying to park it and accidentally pressed the gas and broke though the front of the parlor. Sorry that I don't have any pics.

DRIVERS TRAINING FTW

Actually, No.

Drivers training is utterly useless. What do they teach you? This pedal makes the car go, this pedal makes the car stop. Yeah, we've known that since we were 3, right guys. I already knew how to drive (better than most Californians) by age 13 or so, and during the drivers training, all we did was chat, no instruction at all.

They need classes on getting to know the limits of your car, skid correction, cornering on wet surfaces, accident avoidance, what not to do when you have ABS, etc, things most new drivers would have no idea about. And the DMV License test, boy that was a joke. I never hit above 35 mph, all residential and suburban driving, within a 1/2 mi radius of the DMV max. No parallel parking, no freeway driving, not even busy streets! I mean, c'mon, the license test should be at least 2 hrs or so in a huge variety of settings.

Sorry to hijack. That sounds crazy, lets see a link to somewhere with a vid of that!

The 2 reasons for driver training:

-Insurance Discount
-To help you pass liscensing. This helped me because they tell you exactly what they look for. Getting your full license here is a bitch. It takes 2 years at least

I completely agree.
