My GF sucks at driving, what to do? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Tearlessj · 11-10-2008, 03:30 PM

Seriously, she got her 98 Integra a few weeks ago for her first car. Shes 17, went through the whole permit thing. Not even 300 miles later, she gets into an accident. Completely her fault (Failure to yield). Shes one of those drivers that misses their exits because they're too scared to get over during traffic. Horrible sense of directions, missed one of her exits by 3 exits before she even realized it. Now shes going to get another car soon, what can I do to help before she wacks another car? Shes very clumsy and has horrible multitaski skills.

Like an elderly person revoke her license for her own good.

allntrlundrgrnd · 11-10-2008, 03:41 PM

DMaxUSA · 11-10-2008, 03:43 PM

She's gotta learn to drive with the fear........

Flicktitty · 11-10-2008, 03:45 PM

I disagree. I'd use force. A series of punches and kicks. Preferably to the face, vaginal, and anus regions.

I'm completely joking BTW, but ^ is crackin me up.

100% agree. if youre not calm, how do you expect her to be...

!Zar! · 11-10-2008, 03:50 PM

Upgrade to a new gf.

ronmcdon · 11-10-2008, 03:53 PM

You might just have to teach her yourself. This isn't so much her fault, as it is the DMV for giving out licenses so easily. Also, don't let her drive when you're with her. At least you'll be spared. Personally I find few things more aggravating than having to be a passenger to bad drivers.

BustedS13 · 11-10-2008, 03:55 PM

girls suck at driving. fact of life
that's why the dude has to drive so much

LMAO I agree 100%

Tearlessj · 11-10-2008, 03:56 PM

Oh yes, Last time she drove me around, I called my parents to let them know I love them before I got in the car. Her parents didn't give her any tips or advice when she was driving with her permit. They just kinda said, "Drive!". I'm planning on spending some time with her and teach her some basic driving skills. Also, she got her green integra because I have one. We drove 6 hours total to go get it. Now the next one we're driving 8 hours to go get it. If she wrecks this one i'm going to be pissed as hell.

And her parents suck at driving. Her dad drove me to go get her car and I almost threw up all over the place. That guy would drive on the shoulder because he can't find a spot to merge onto the interstate. =/

U-turns were terrible too.

So, before we swapped my car from auto to manual, I took her out to a nice open parking lot, told here to watch what I did at a certain turn, then have her repeat it.

Now, she's a much better driver compared to before, she just has to learn how to "force" your way when merging into traffic.

M GF has this same prob. I just took her to an empty parking lot and turned her loose. I sat in the car and gave her constructive criticism and let her know what she did right and wrong.

I suggest you take her to a really good driving course. You teaching her how to drive can be disastrous.

LOL for some reason I was rolling when I read this.

SmogSUX · 11-10-2008, 04:05 PM

Sabotage her car. I don't want to die. My gf drives like a snail, but hey she doesn't drive like a psycho so I don't have to sabotage her car

HyperTek · 11-10-2008, 04:13 PM

shes only 17 dude... its expected.. id expect you to suck at driving too lol

SmogSUX · 11-10-2008, 04:35 PM

Hey now when I was that age I was a pro! at running into trees XD jk, but I wasn't all that bad

pablo180 · 11-10-2008, 04:45 PM

Easy fix....get her to learn how to control the car in a safe environment. Sign her up for an auto-x event. Dunno what its like in Memphis...but they have yearly girls only auto-x events here in socal.

Mi Beardo es Loco · 11-10-2008, 04:48 PM

that's why they say to get a junker for the first car because it's going to get wrecked. If you're worried about her safety get her a front bumper guard, jeep style, and let her roll on that. There's really not much you could do but complain to her so much that she stops. The first time she gets a ticket and it effects HER wallet (not her parents) she'll start driving better. trust me, my girl was horrible too until SHE started paying for her mistakes.

slider2828 · 11-10-2008, 05:01 PM

FUG it first gen humvee with full armor bars and army run flats.... What she can't destroy she will just run over... All good.... Its always clear to merge with that thing.... LOL

have her as the passenger while you drive. give her tips and let her watch. Just looks like she spent most of her life staring aimlessly out the window in the passenger seat instead of watching the road and studying the driver. a little bit of watching might do her good.

but my guess is she doesn't stop completely at a stop sign now. Chicks get overconfident and careless.
