Title: tactical driving
Post by: APX808 on January 21, 2014, 07:57:33 PM

Hey guyz

Has any of you did some kind of training in "tactical driving"?
Doing crazy shit like U turns, J-turns, bootleggers turns and whatnot?

Any resources/suggestions?

1) Yes, in rental cars in my youth  ;)
2) No specific training though.
3) I have been know to practice "Tactical Driving" while in my Ford F150 if there is a Smart car next to me on the
    highway though. I know it isn't right but it is just a "gas" to see the driver of the smart cars face change as I
    "Change lanes."  :o
4) While driving in the UK I used "aggressive driving" skills which seemed to work quite well especially while using
     a "rotary" to merge to a different highway. Apparently their rotaries go clockwise while USofA rotaries go
     counter clockwise. Who knew?  :-[

LOL I have extensive training in that, the problem is that GTA cars use automatic transmission and around here 95% of cars have manual :P

Not in 'Merica buddy!

Less than 10% of cars sold in America have a manual transmission! Just another sign of our assbackwardsness..

Yeah, and could you imagine how much shifting gears would interfere with texting?   :trolling:
