RedMX5 that's hilarious.

do you guys have roundabouts over there? Its a + intersection that has a round island in the middle for flow. Anyway you need to understand that to be able to picture this...

My dad taught my mum to drive and everything was going great until they came to a roundabout, so Dad thought it was simple enough to just instruct her to go straight through at the roundabout. So she did.... straight over it getting the car stuck in the garden

 

BTW staring at an obstacle is the best way to hit it, if you loose control and start heading for something you dont want to hit your better off looking where you want to head rather than at the object.

Easier said than done though

 

Hey Crayon did your girl know that you had the camera on? Talk about performance pressure

 

RED MX5 ... You've truly made my day.

That has to be one of the best and funniest stories I've ever heard! Good on ya patience! You sure you're not a professional driving school teacher?

 

theres a girl on this board that could probably outdrive most of you guys, so watch what you say.

 

I guess your dad made the same mistake I did. Your mom did exactly what he told her to do, so she's hardly to blame.
Pilots call it target fixation. I was probably doing the worst thing imaginable, fixating on the tree myself, rather than focusing on instructing the girl how to drive around the thing. My bad.
How did you guess? Actually, she was a tall, slender blond, with very long legs, but she wasn't as much of a ditz as the story makes it seem. I really blew it, by not just instructing her to steer more to the right, or something else (anything else) other than "Watch the tree." I was as much at fault as she was (and I'm not blond).
No, not exactly. In 1971-1972, I did design a driver training course for Wurtsmith AFB, but that was for people who already knew how to drive. It was about car control and accident avoidance, and more like an autocross school than drivers ed.
My own wife can out shoot and out drive most men.

Let me guess (Relax guys Im not a girl ) Ras....... Maybe

 

Tried to teach my wife twice in the S.... once after 24 months of ownership and then after 32. I applied the 3 stall rule. She still can drive a manual I've had the S for 4 years now and she have NEVER drivin' it once. The crazy thing is, she doesn't really want to either.

I'm sorry but I really do not feel like sharing the car with her!
