Something new I’m working on.

Students using an automobile driving simulator in a classroom at the Brooklyn High School of Automotive Trades, February 24, 1953. The "Aetna Drivometer" used real-time traffic films projected onto a large screen to simulate driving scenarios. Students sat in mock-car stations, equipped with controls, to practice driving techniques.

Things people said in my driver’s ed class as KOTLC characters #2

Growing up in New Hampshire meant that driver's ed had a compulsory unit on the dangers of hitting a moose.

It was described in detail how hitting a moose is worse than hitting a deer, because when you hit a deer your car slams into its body, but when you hit a moose you only sweep its legs, causing it's immense body to fall on your hood and windshield.

And then. It was emphasized. And then. Special moose ticks that are much larger and more ferocious than regular ticks will swarm from the moose's body, through the broken windshield and onto you.

Anyways, I hope wherever you're from they also had some sort of bat shit module for whatever special threat lurks on your roads.

I love having a younger sibling. Because who else was going body slam me to the ground outta no where and jump on me, effectively giving me back and neck pain an hour before I have to go to class?

Guys I just had a very funny thought. Andrew minyard had to sit a drivers test. Like he had to sit in a car with the examiner and do all the right things and not stab anyone and respect road etiquette etc and that makes me giggle so much. Just generally Andrew vs bureaucracy for things he actually cares about and him having no choice but to play game ball in order to get what he wants and just being so inconvenienced by it

LETS FUCKING GO

I FINALLY FINISHED DRIVERS ED AND I PASSED WITH AN 84%

HUZZAH

exept apparently im fucking weird. When I shoulder check, often I start to drift. Which thats normal. But you'd assume if I were to shoulder check right id go right???

WRONG

I DRIFT THE OPPOSITE WAY IM LOOKING

If im looking right, I'll start to veer into the left lane 🙃

But hey! My instructor said that for my age and experience, I have amazing control over the pedal. He says most new drivers dont have nearly as good of speed management!
