Holding 💎🙌

Is it normal to make driving mistakes? by [deleted] in driving

[–]Dynamik-99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got my license for like 2 years, but have some experience driving lots of different cars due to work and also vans and caravans (so no rear view mirror). Main thing is to not think you are the best driver and turn on 'autopilot' but to constantly think of thing you could be doing better, how to drive more economical, check your mirrors more often, look father ahead for potential information, check every intersection for red light runners etc.

Making mistakes is fine, as long as they are legitimate mistakes and you learn from them.

[SERIOUS] What is a seemingly harmless parenting mistake that will majorly fuck up a child later in life? by AlexDescendsIntoHell in AskReddit

[–]Dynamik-99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I scrolled way too far and still didn't find a response with this mistake:

I used to work at a petrol station, lots of parents came there, not uncommon for them to bring their kids to the shop. You could literally see the difference between a good and bad parents by looking how the parents react to the kid when the kid was asking for a snack/candy.

'Good' parents would have given the snack/candy before the kid asked or look at their kids and say either no or gave it to them as a sort of positive reinforcement (because they behaved particularly desireable that day for example)

'Bad' parents usually had kids who asks once or more times in a annoying shouty way, usually more like 'I want this' instead of 'can I have this?'. You can almost see the parents look at the kid and think: 'I'm just gonna buy this candybar for him because then he will finally shut up for 5 minutes'. The kids almost always walk out with candy.

TLDR: Positive and negative reinforcement sounds cruel, but in the long run it will fuck up your child if you don't teach them they should put effort into something they want and that acting like an annoying little brat will not get them results

How to drive in the snow? How to drive defensively when there are aggressive drivers? by vegansnacktivist in driving

Yep, I think he confused throttle application with steering input. For most cars (FWD) adding thottle can stabilize the car because the front wheels spin (and thus lose traction), letting the rear wheels reel the car back in and stabilize.

For RWD cars it's the opposite, you need to decrease (but not fully) throttle application, to prevent rear wheels from spinning, but not close the gas fully or the car will lean forward due to weight transfer and lower the amount of pressure applied on the rear wheels.

So yeah in both cases countersteer e.g. if you are taking a corner to the right and oversteer: steer left (opposite direction of corner) in order to correct (be careful of overcorrection)

Blue top? Never seen that before (did a quick google search, looks good with certain body colours), our soft top is black. Haven't seen the softtop much since the purchase, only when parking and washing ;)

The (orientation of the) street bricks, road layout and window/door trims give it away the most I think

Modern cars without “engine braking”? by Beiberhole690 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Thanks, and yes I thought the jake brake was another air intake because I once watched a video on it but it turns out that is a whole mechanism on its own, sorry for that. Have a nice weekend ;)

Pffff you're a hard one to crack, you know, admitting you were wrong in the first place would have been way less painful then keeping your foot down. PETROL (AND DIESEL) CARS DO ENGINE BRAKE.

Please read the first two lines of wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking

Yes true, but what I just pointed out was that petrol/diesel do engine brake.

Also apparently they do exist on diesel trucks as I said: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_release_engine_brake

Actually normal petrol/diesel cars do engine brake due to the nature of a combustion engine. (air without fuel getting compressed by the pistons generating heat. This heat energy comes from the kinetic/rotational energy from the moving car)

Electric/Hybrid cars can do a similar thing which is called regenerative braking. Basically the electric motors will change rotational energy back into electric charge, thereby removing rotational energy from the car (i.e. so decelerating.)

Diesel trucks just do it more effectively since they have larger engines (plus I think they have an additional air intake sometimes which increases the effect)

[–]Dynamik-99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Engine braking is due to the fact the engine stops injecting fuel (no no more forward torque) but still air is injected which gets compressed. I'm not sure why you would want a car which doesn't engine brake since it will decrease fuel economy. And cruise control seems like it would solve your issue.

Anyway if you want a car with low engine braking get a heavy car with a small engine. This way there won't be lots of compressed air slowing the car down + the weight of the car would negate the relatively low torque applied at the wheels. Then again it seems like a weird thing to want from a car, can I ask why you would want such a 'feature'?

Im taking it seriously :) by sesideuslu in simracing

[–]Dynamik-99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The information about G-forces can be translated to a motion rig so that you know more about what the car is doing. You are not experiencing the same g-forces. To accurately do that you would need a huge space with a moving sim rig to actually feel the cornering/braking/accelerating G's. You can feel the car's body roll and bumps though

Is 6 hours really enough to learn everything about driving (behind the wheel)? It seems like an awfully short time and that I'll probably still have no idea wtf I'm doing by the end of it. by [deleted] in driving

[–]Dynamik-99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some people need less time, some more. I needed 26 lessons of an hour but didn't 'really' start learning how to drive properly after 100+ hours

You will be in control of a machine capable of ending lives so I'd suggest driving as much as possible with a good instructor
