Anyone ever participate in one? I did yesterday. It was AAA sponsored. Six hours. *amy-style thud to floor* But I enjoyed it.
Mostly refresher stuff for oldsters, but some things I hadn't thought about before.
One thing? The new "hold your hands on the steering wheel at 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock" is TOTALLY foreign to my being taught "10 o'clock and 2 o'clock". I'm kind of a 2:45 steering wheel holder, anyway. (That would be 9 and 3)
It feels really weird and I prolly won't stick to it. Driving a stick-shift kinda negates the safety theory of having both hands on the wheel at all times thing.
I did latch on to the distance rule when at stop lights or signs... be able to see the rear tires AND some pavement of the car in front of you.
Anyone else?
