Winter driving with the convoy(slight rant) X3
15 years ago
Well I survived the driving class for today, with the snow falling, and playing around with the traction control and differential locks on the MSVS aka Canyonero, Kind of surprised my driving instructor with the roads that were taken into town, told him if we kept on the path we were traveling we'd come to a single lane bridge that was wood with asphalt. Was kind of a little surprise to all the civilian traffic, to see a convoy of big green trucks moving through the streets of my town's side streets, even when moving through some narrow like streets too, so far I have like 212km total and hopefully with the next 2 to 3 more classes I can get to 500 or just shy of 500km before the driving test. the night before I was let go from the course to attend the St Barbra's/ soldier's christmas dinner, won a little portable travel dvd player for those long trips when im not behind the wheel. God I can't believe some people in the winter, just can't drive, seen like 3 cars spun out in the ditch on the way home after the weekend course was let go to head home, it's not spring, summer or fall, it's icy now and it's time to slow down and take things easy and not rush to get to where your going. Well I guess since winter is now officially here im going to see more and more my fair share of car's and trucks in the ditches and general people that you wonder how they ever got their licences in the first place to drive XD and yush if it sounds like Im bragging, I can since I never had an accident and never been in the ditches, I beat the statistics for a teen driver. I've pulled some things dirivng that I don't think other's may have done, like driving a front wheel drive vehicle out of a low park area in the winter, up a steep icy hill and being the first out besides a rear wheel truck and 4 wheel drive jeep, mud bogging in a ford taurus, self recovering from the mud, crash avoidance with the loss of hydraulic breaks, gearing down and using parking break applications to come to a safe stop and limping my vehicle home to fix the lines myself.
