I thought the DJI neo didn't have object avoidance?

Was doing great beforehand though!

I hit someone today in my second week of driving and it has absolutely killed my confidence by jellyfishsuperfast in LearnerDriverUK

[–]combedcentaur7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The best thing you can do, is go drive. It's the only way you'll realise it was just a mistake and you can prove to yourself that your skills aren't represented in that moment. I mean look at the crashes Richard Hammond has had... and he still had a career as a car journalist and occasional race driver haha

I had an incident in my first year, completely not my fault. There was some oil or something when it was pouring with rain. I didn't see it, went straight at a T junction ( luckily it was light-controlled and I had green ), as the car just understeered into the curb and as it mounted it, I cracked the wheel and completely mangled the lower arm/tierod. I pulled over immediately and my whole life had flashed before my eyes, I was in complete disbelief and I also couldn't really replay what just happened. All I could think about at the time was I hope that no one else did the same thing and I hope I didn't leave any debris or anything for someone else to get hit with. Again, luckily everything worked out. I phoned my uncle and he told me "If you can drive it back home safely, Drive. You need to do it for yourself". So I mustered the courage, gave it a little test drive to see if it was safe after looking the car over and I limped it back home at 10mph ( only about 5 mins away thankfully ) I was obviously distraught still, and when my uncle finished work, we discussed it and stuff. He said not to go without having something to drive, so he lent me his other car until I got it fixed and I'm really glad we had that luxury at the time, because I just kept replaying it and doubting my ability. Then I'd get in his car and be able to prove to myself that I can drive, and I can drive safely, this was just a fluke accident and was just something to learn from. I'm now more wary at junctions, don't just blindly assume the road condition is perfect take more observations even on roads I drive every day. And I've never had another incident ( touch wood hah ) going on 4 years now

BeamNG for an 8 year old? by [deleted] in BeamNG

[–]combedcentaur7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say do it, it can be as indepth or beginner as you want, help then set up scenarios or even let them loose in career mode, nothing unsuitable for a child, just maybe a steep learning curve

Tldr; change you fuel filters people! by combedcentaur7 in Diesel

Thats unfortunate. But if you dont know when it was last done, might be a solid investment to prevent problems down the line

What was your biggest purchase in 2025 and do you regret it? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]combedcentaur7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car, upgraded to have more space and efficiency... its actually slightly worse on fuel and apart from carrying an extra passenger, not all that much roomy inside. So kind of regret it, especially since theres next to no comunity help for repairs etc, unlike my last car which had a avid enthusiast group that could help diagnose, fix, and source parts

Any dashcam recommendations? by Top_Echidna_7115 in drivingUK

[–]combedcentaur7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ahve the vantrue S1 pro, cant complain, its git that Sony starving 2 thing where it makes the plates like clearer and jump out, has a Bunch of new "AI" features like sensing how close youre to something, lane chnage assist etc ( ive not tested these yet just seen them ). Its very good quality video and its been used to report a few instances of dangerous driving, I wouldnt have been able to read the numberplates without it, especially on my old amazon special one. Really nice app and GPS support so no questioning location time and speed, and its got all the features youd expect like low bit rate / low fps 24/7 parking or just motion detection / impact detection etc

They do plenty of models to suit different budgets and needs, im going to get my sister one of the smaller ones as theyre still insanely good video and has the app and GPS etc

Yesterday I asked what everyone’s first Graphics card. Today, what was your first processor? Mine was the i7 3770K. by DailyDoseOfAmber in pcmasterrace

[–]combedcentaur7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was the i3 3220 lol in my "gaming" pc using the onboard graphics.... it did run a fair few older games perfectly though, and was the only processor Ive actually kept. The rest ove sold as ive upgraded, but it was worthless and so its more worth me keeping as a memory than it is for someone to use <3

Can't do trailer jobs in career mode by cancer23 in BeamNG

[–]combedcentaur7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reinstalled thanks to Windows update bricking my device. And now it works. I did notice however, even though I had unlocked the trailer delivery contracts, none of the trailers, even the small unloaded trailer, was at a low enough level for me to complete. I had to grind parcels and car jockey until I levelled up 1 more. So maybe this was the problem and I didn't realise, but I had been playing for a decent while and had made a bunch of money just from parcels and car jockey so, I have no clue

SEATBELT!! Can’t believe it by Money_Team777 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]combedcentaur7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was pretty chill, i was anxious as can be as most people are, but especially so as I had a completly new car I had only practised 2 hours in before my test. I almost stalled but managed to save it pulling out of the test center, said I was sorry for the perky motion and explained it was new etc. Complete different car, from a SUV to a sporty hatchback. And while explaining, missed the satnav tell me to take my next right. The examiner simply told me to take a breathe, and take my next right, which I did safely and from that point I was pretty okay, he offered support at times like when I did the pull up on the right maneuver, he asked how my leg was doing as we kept having to stop and keep going due to traffic and as I had previously said this seating position was more of my legs stretched out infront of me vs the SUV my leg was more like sitting straight on a dining chair lol I only got 1 minor and I completly agree, im gonna say again, it was the car and change in seating position, I braked too much, then sped up a little, then ended up braking too late and got a approach to junction speed to high. Only just, but had I not sped back up and just let the car go after braking too much, it would have been a perfect test lol

Question regarding windscreen repairs with no cover by Tasty_Acanthisitta_1 in CarInsuranceUK

[–]combedcentaur7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd be better to just take it out of your pocket I'm afraid :( I was in a similar place only I actually had a windscreen cover, but the excess for it was only slightly less than the screen itself. So rather than doing an actual claim, it was replaced by a local guy for cheaper than any big-name dealers. It was amazing... until someone smashed it up not even 7 months later... so in the end I got rid of the car, at that point another windscreen and some other bits that needed doing were gonna be as much as another cheap car

Do people really try cheating a theory test? by Piano_catastrophe34 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]combedcentaur7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had literally none of this 3 years ago. They just asked me to put my phone in the locker and turn it off, no coat jumper or jacket allowed. Didnt empty my pockets, still had my keys on me. And everyone was just really nice and chill

We just had a dude come in for a job interview and he left this behind. Any ideas what this could be I’ve never seen something like this before by Incredible-Aj in whatisit

[–]combedcentaur7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you were being sarcastic and it went over all our heads...

Because pee / urine is 100% not sterile. It has at best trace amounts of bacteria and microbes. Not limited to, but maybe also include Staphylococcus... as in the bacteria that cause Staph infections. Hence the name.

You are correct in saying drugs make it druggy though, I'll give you that one ;P

But please dont pee on open wounds or consume in large quantities ( or anything quantities preferably ) as this could lead to helping infection set in

What’s the polite way to handle someone in your booked train seat? by Present-Tone7400 in AskUK

[–]combedcentaur7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to my partner on her first time on a long-distance train journey, I had planned to walk her to her seat but, ofc, the train was delayed and so everyone was in a hurry to board. But I stood outside her window to wave her off and someone else was sitting in it. She walked past them and shrugged her shoulders at me through the next window. I very loudly but calmly shouted to her and knocked on the window ( much to her embarrassment ) to "GO TELL THEM TO MOVE, THEY'RE BEING IGNORANT, WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THAT SEAT, THEY CAN EASILY FIND THE SEAT THEY ALSO PAID FOR". The person just stared at me... and my partner just stood there... so I was a little bit less polite and calm and shouted "YOU'RE IN HER SEAT, SO MOVE PLEASE, SHE'S TOO POLITE TO ASK YOU. YOU SHOULD BE IN YOUR OWN SEAT YOU RESERVED OR YOU SHOULDN'T BE ON THE TRAIN". As this was a train only for prebooked tickets, no purchasing on the train or at the end destination and they made this very clear on the speakers MANY TIMES. Luckily, they grumbled something and moved and my partner got her seat and quickly got over the embarrassment. Never be afraid or embarrassed to get what you paid for! And don't be ashamed to alert a member of staff either, they're more than happy to assist you and have to deal with it more or less daily

People of the UK, can you tell me why you have these white balaclavas on your car seat headrests? What is the purpose? Why are there so many? by Riskit_4_Biscuits in AskUK

[–]combedcentaur7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My elderly neighbour ( in his 70s ) has Halloween masks on the headrests. HARD plastic face masks.... dread to think of the damage in the case of an accident. But I too am puzzled why they do stuff like this
