You guys have it easy.
I am from Eastern Europe and driving here is sooo easy compare to back there I can drive backwards in Canada.
Passing for me is always coming out on to the incoming traffic lanes. If you have two lanes this is luxury.
Try to get two cars, semi trailer, bus and the train in to 3 lane traffic that is what I call city driving. LOL
Not counting open man holes. We even have special maneuver in driving schools teaching how to get your car over the open manhole.
Goes like this: for example you see an open manhole on the passenger’s side. Your both hands are on the wheel of course, 9 and 3 o’clock.
• Short sharp turn of the steering wheel with your left hand from 9 o’clock to 6 o’clock and then up to 12 o’clock and back to original straight position (9 and 3).
• This will throw you car slightly off center and back allowing to “elevate” or take a load off of your drivers side for very short time.
• You need to have at least 40-50km/hr for this to be effective
For those who don’t know there are two cowers on the manhole; first very heavy one on top and second light steel about 6” inches below, so you car will go over it regardless, but if you just go slow and straight your suspension will take a heavy hit. heavy covers are often stolen for metal scrap.
Hope you enjoyed this.
Do not try this when you are on your Driving Test LOL.
