    Cars aren’t about driving. You want to drive? Go to the track.
    Cars are about getting from point A to point B. Bring on full automation please!

        What was the pedestrian points system again?

        • 10 points for every child
        • 20 for every adult
        • 30 for a pram
        • 50 for a pushbike

        Were there any others?

        Go hit and run and rack up those points now!

          We played by slightly different score system but the ranking seems the same, we also included Old People, and Wheel Chairs / Mobility Scooters, which with your scoring system would be 75 and 100 respectively. Push bikes and prams would be switched as bikes are more common and prams more devastating so they’re worth more points. We also had bonus points for pedestrians caught off a cross-walk.

      I actually quite enjoy driving, especially at night, really helps me relax and get rid of anxiety. I would love to do a track day, but shits expensive.

        See if there are any autocross groups in your area. Cheaper and safer than a track day with 95% of the thrill.

          There is an event in April in thinking about signing up for, it’s only about 200 bucks to enter and there are other events in the club later if I like it, also just in time for my birthday!

            Do it! If nothing else you should go to see how they are run. Bring a helmet if you have one, ride-alongs are super fun.

        On the one hand, I agree, but on the other hand, it’s one of the most dangerous times to drive

        99% of people want just that. a -> b with a level of safety, fuel efficiency, comfort and a cell phone to distract them. Nobody wants to be constantly pumping the clutch in slow traffic on a daily commute. I have an automatic, and it’s perfect for DD. We also have a small, 6-cyl with a standard, and that car is a ton of fun for evenings out and weekends. I wouldn’t want to make myself or the car suffer in a metro area traffic jam moving at a snail’s pace.
