ditto to that.
I'm about to come off my P's and currently my boyfriend has been teaching me what to do if a car skids out, because I had no idea what to do, by taking me onto the beach in his commo. He's going to try teaching me my car [being front wheel drive] on the beach as well.
but seriously we need a defensive driving course in adelaide on a skid pan. the number of people i know who've crashed or almost crashed in the hills [not doing idiotic things-just because of the state of some of the roads] is huge
