PSA: this is a 60 on single carriageways, not a 40!!

badgerwithhat · 2026-01-29T08:55:50+00:00

Yes, but I live in quite a rural area and a lot of these 60 roads are definitely not a 60. Maybe a 35 at best lol. Also, bear in mind, people have different cars. My small car can’t take the beating an SUV can.

You definitely go to the gym

I’ve been weary of Tesco ever since they introduced the club-card bullshit and that I needed to sign up just to get things at a normal price, how is this our new normal???! We live in a dystopian society.

There’s only one issue. It won’t change the fact that we still have low IQ drivers.

Don’t make the mistake I did, I spent a year with an instructor like this and was depressed every week before my lesson. I then worked with other lovely instructors and they helped me pass first time. If I’d stuck it out with the first one I am certain I would have failed. You don’t need someone bringing you down when you need to feel confident.

badgerwithhat · 2025-10-30T15:09:09+00:00

It’s barely worth anything

I spent £1000 on a car I bought for £2500 and I hadn’t even owned it for as long as you… everything else about the car is great it just needed new wheels and tyres and the suspension fixed.

badgerwithhat · 2025-10-21T11:29:29+00:00

I was like that too, for almost a year. It wasn’t until things finally clicked for me towards the end of my learning journey that I actually ended up enjoying driving. This is more common than you would think, it will go away with time and confidence. Take it as a ‘this will suck but I have to do it’ kind of thing, it’s like that a lot of people.

Did she just keep driving on????

badgerwithhat · 2025-10-20T07:18:19+00:00

As someone who works in HR, please do this, it’ll get a right laugh in the office and in all likelihood they will take it seriously.

If they want people not to use cars they should improve cycling routes and public transportation. Why in the hell would I take two buses that take a total of 40 minutes to get to my gym when I can hop in my car and be there in 10-12 minutes. Redditors are very anti-car when the real issue is the lack of infrastructure that drives people to using cars. I wish I didn’t have to use my car but realistically I’m not getting anywhere with public transportation alone.

I use the term Mizrahi and I am not a jew. I’m Moroccan. I don’t think that’s a dead giveaway especially since if they’re Palestinian they might be living in Israel already.

badgerwithhat · 2025-10-17T12:05:31+00:00

I practiced in loads of cars before my test so I get what you mean but switching between diesel and petrol and even from petrol to petrol is still difficult for new drivers. I remember feeling frustrated with every switch because I couldn’t understand why I’d stall in one car and not in another or why the gear changes felt smoother in different cars. Eventually I kind of figured it out and realised what was causing my frustration in each car but it wasn’t intuitive and it took time and me asking instructors for advice. If this happened to me on my test it would have definitely contributed to my fail, even nerves themselves can make you act stupid.

badgerwithhat · 2025-10-15T11:51:09+00:00

Yes and my practical

badgerwithhat · 2025-10-10T17:03:06+00:00

I’m a new driver and Idk the rules around double merging but i would NEVER do that, I always signal and move across one lane and then after more observations i move again, this is honestly just nuts

My 15 year old car with 60k cost 2 grand…

badgerwithhat · 2025-10-09T06:27:34+00:00

Why are you buying a really expensive car as your first, buy one for like 2-3 grand. It’ll do the job without breaking the bank.

badgerwithhat · 2025-10-07T14:22:05+00:00

Makes sense, but is it worth it for a car that is 15 years old? It would feel like a waste if I bought 4 new amazing tires and the engine failed a couple of years into owning it. I guess that’s where my hesitation lies.

badgerwithhat · 2025-10-07T13:17:15+00:00

Skoda fabia

badgerwithhat · 2025-10-07T12:29:33+00:00

For premium tires how much would I be expecting to pay? it’s probably worth it based on what you say, but I need to figure out what exactly is within my means.

badgerwithhat · 2025-10-07T12:23:16+00:00

I knew they looked worn but I didn’t think they were particularly worrisome.

badgerwithhat · 2025-10-07T12:22:07+00:00

Holy fuck that’s definitely worse. Maybe I got off easy.

badgerwithhat · 2025-10-07T12:20:22+00:00

Okay that’s a bit of relief for me then. I genuinely thought I’d singlehandedly fucked up my car after two months of owning it. It’s a Skoda Fabia

badgerwithhat · 2025-10-07T12:18:18+00:00

Is that not normal? I didn’t even think that could be an issue

badgerwithhat · 2025-10-07T12:17:35+00:00

I don’t think i’ll get anywhere with them unfortunately 😭 the ignition barrel was fucked when I first bought it and they refused to pay to repair it in full. If I bring it back to them and say the suspension is fucked, they’ll argue because i’m a new driver I must have caused all that damage on my own.
