North East Wimmera district of Victoria. | Learned to drive on wet dirt roads and grass paddocks.
Like someone said, second nature to steer out of a skid, and all the years before front wheel drives came in are hard to ' unlearn' !
Have owned a couple of front engine, front wheel drive cars, and as most of our driving is on sealed roads, it does not matter much.
My sister, 5 yrs older was taking friends up to the snow. When the road became a little icey, she corrected a skid!
One of her passengers asked "How did you learn to do that! "
Her responce was " Do what?" Still ingrained after 40 plus year in the city! So much so she had not even realised what she had had to do.
If I am on a slippery road to this day, I will turn off the 'stability control' I much rather the seat of my pants telling me what to do before I even have to think! Having some electronics slow me and whatever else is not the way I wish to go! |
Are front wheel drive vehicles safer?
