Належу до тих, хто колись не здав з першої спроби. Але зрештою здав й нині без авто було б складно уявити життя

No one comes out smelling of roses here - some of the supposedly highly trained Roads Policing #officers clearly got "red mist" and caused the collision *after* other units had already safely stopped the offender, but the gym-bro lad shouldn't have been #driving at all (no insurance) and its surprising he didn't get remanded in custody for flouting an interim ban just days after the incident. >>

journals.plos.orgDriving under viral impairment: Linking acute SARS-CoV-2 infections to elevated car crash risksThis study explores the linkage between acute SARS-CoV-2 and car crashes across U.S. states, correlating with COVID-19 mitigation strategies, vaccination rates, and Long COVID prevalence. This investigation analyzed aggregate COVID-19 and car crash data spanning 2020–2023, with data collection occurring between March and May 2024. Analysis was done via a Poisson regression model, adjusted for population. Key variables included vaccination status, month-specific effects relating to initial pandemic shutdowns, and Long COVID rates. Results demonstrated a significant association between acute COVID-19 infections and an increase in car crashes, independent of Long COVID status to the tune of an OR of 1.25 [1.23-1.26]. This association was observed despite varying mitigation efforts and vaccination rates across states. The study found no protective effect of vaccination against car crashes, challenging prior assumptions about the benefits of vaccination. Notably, the risk associated with COVID-19 was found to be analogous to driving impairments seen with alcohol consumption at legal limits. Findings suggest significant implications for public health policies, especially in assessing the readiness of individuals recovering from COVID-19 to engage in high-risk activities such as pilots or nuclear plant employees. Further research is necessary to establish causation and explore the exact effects of COVID-19 within the CNS affecting cognition and behavior.

I once met a guy…I think at some social event, and he kept flashing his phone screen to talk about his BMW.
And I was like “uh…okay?”.
Then he asked what I drove, like it was the most important thing. And when he found out is was a a Jeep Wrangler, his face fell so much.
He was asking all these questions about power, how it compared to other people, and I just said “it makes me happy”. And again it was like something broke in his brain. #driving #Australia

If your driving and using nitrous oxide, you have to know the legal implications of all of that when police pull you over. What's more, if you do get pulled over in relation to your use of nitrous oxide, know that the nitrous oxide is meant for the car, not the driver.

🇬🇧 Just had my second practical driving lesson!

Last time, my job was only to steer, use the indicators, and do all the looking and observing.

Today's plan originally was that in addition to all that, I'd also need to use the shift stick. No clutch, gas or brakes yet.

Apparently I was doing well enough though that somewhere in the middle, she taught me how to stop and go and told me to finish the rest of the drive with all pedals and controls!
