I know, I'll be honest with you, Ive never drifted on purpose on a road or a track, I like driving quickley and smoothley, maybe Im a little too scared of writing my car off too.

I'm too much of a wimp to even attempt to drift

Ditto, still considering having a blast in a car park somewhere, away from any obstacles, just to get a safe feel.

Yeah for me its mostly the fear of writing my car off, glad I didn't own this car 10 years ago or I most likely would have killed myself by now

If you want to try a bit of drifting, do it at a designated day.

It would be a safe environment, and there will be someone on hand to teach you if you're not getting it quite right
