My GF sucks at driving, what to do? - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

why dont you teach her how to drive, geez

***FaLKoN240*** · 11-10-2008, 07:16 PM

Sounds like you need to teach her how to drive.

Tell her to be assertive behind the wheel.

People being all wishy washy and unsure while they're driving cause bad accidents because they hesitate and then react at the last minute.

It also sounds like she just needs experience and to be more aware of her surroundings.

Sure if you want to get locked up?

RiversideS13 · 11-10-2008, 07:53 PM

you can teach her how to drive in a nice manner. the more angry you are, the more scare she is.

just tell her relax, and learn how to check mirror by moving the body or head to get clear view. it is very clear to me that she is not comfortable in look at the mirror in moving motion. tell her to scan around every 2 seconds and she will realize it is ok not to star the front view all the time.

This thread makes me f***in nervous ...my gf has my other car THIS VERY MOMENT!

teach her..go with her and have her drive on the freeway late late at night or early in the morning, preferably on a weekend

***FaLKoN240*** · 11-10-2008, 08:02 PM

That's why I don't let bitches drive my main squeeze!

lizmo · 11-10-2008, 08:13 PM

too much vtec sauce?
i just kidding...
obviously you need to teach her, or make her take a driving class. or get a gps for when she misses her exits.

dirtdiggler666 · 11-10-2008, 08:17 PM

get her some stunt driveing lessons then boom she will drive better than you

SimpleS14 · 11-10-2008, 08:19 PM

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

One of my friends gf sucks at driving to. She pushes and releases the gas on the freeway instead of holding it at a constant speed so its really jerky. She also thinks that alaska and hawaii are next to each other because thats how they are shown on some maps. She also thinks that you cant go to a dinner and ask to see a menu without having to eat there, she almost broke down in tears when we did that cause she thought we would get in some sort of trouble.

1989rps13 · 11-10-2008, 09:16 PM

its all good as long as your gf doesnt ask if she can date another girl

anyway, teach her how to drive my gf is 17 too, and complete noobie, already had to replace the clutch in my Z32 cos of her. pretty gay but u gotta do wht u gotta do.

jeeper_x · 11-11-2008, 02:25 AM

pic of ur g/f!

if she's not worth teaching then forget it!!!

soreballz · 11-11-2008, 02:29 AM

Too lazy to read other replies, but... Put her behind the wheel of a powerful, hard to drive 5/6 speed car.

She'll either get better at driving or die.

Win/win situation.

One more thing, you're 17... why the FUCK do you have a girlfriend? Be single, fuck sluts, have fun. If you don't, you'll regret it later on.

94cc0rd · 11-11-2008, 02:33 AM

does she realize/know that she is a bad driver?

i think that's step 1.

then after you get her to admit that she sucks at driving... help her yourself or get her to take driving lessons or something...

Nachtmensch · 11-11-2008, 03:59 AM

my girlfriend spun a jeep grand cherokee on a straight road. i drive EVERYWHERE from then on.

i suggest you do the same if you value your lives.

Kalashnikov · 11-11-2008, 04:18 AM

Do not let her drive your car. SImple.

My gf was a horrible driver.

She would turn like in this gif:

She would slowly pass the steering wheel to the other hand and keep repeating the process.

In other words, she sucked at turning.

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.

LOL I don't know man, I've been on off with her since I turned 15. We're just so attached now.

I can't teach her anything yet. She can't drive my car cause its a manual. So i'm just ganna wait til she gets another integra.
Here's some pics of her, don't mind my ugly mug.

spoolandslide · 11-11-2008, 08:59 PM

she really doesn't look like the driving type to me

*handinpants* · 11-11-2008, 09:03 PM

Does she have any cute friends who wannna come to Los angeles to be famous?

rednissan180 · 11-11-2008, 09:31 PM

memphis huh? im out in cordova, i could teach her...

jkjk...but really...integra, hmm i usually dont hang out with that crowd

*!Zar!* · 11-11-2008, 09:59 PM

You look better than her.

[w]hite[r]abbit[x] · 11-11-2008, 10:09 PM

You need to find her a nice and reliable automatic car. Also try to look at your local SCCA regions for driving schools that are being offered. They teach you driving skills for kids under the age of 21 in all sorts of weather conditions and driving occasions.

thefro526 · 11-11-2008, 10:17 PM

I know a bunch of chicks who can't drive to save their life and I'll usually take them out in my S13 and do something boring like E-Brake 180 in to do a u-turn or Slide into a parking spot and all of a sudden they want to drive awesome. From that point on they usually pay more attention to driving... and me

So basically, just give her a reason to drive better

Fries · 11-11-2008, 10:30 PM

AutoX. Let her learn the car and get comfortable driving. HPDE after some AutoX. She'll be knowin her car real well and will pwn from now on.

neverrain · 11-11-2008, 10:48 PM

Take her to the track and let her learn at high speed. Then normal driving will seem a lot slower and easier to react to.

And I agree with that comment above. In LA, you really do need to drive much more offensively.

lolatclint · 11-11-2008, 10:54 PM

hire a limo driver
