Help! I can't drive.
 
OK, so today I hit an orange can on the highway going about 60 mph. I smashed in the front passenger window and the mirror. The other day I smashed in the mirror on the driver side backing out of the garage.

I drive (?!@$#%)*!@%*??) a non-honda vehicle, mid-sized, 4 door. I can't figure out where the car vehicle stops -- I don't see over the hood and it's hard to judge distances from objects on the road, especially in construction zones and double barrelled areas or bridges.

Any ideas what to do so that I can drive safely?

Please help!

Signed,
Bad Driver

Get someone else to drive :D.

Seriously if you're that bad then go to a driving school.
If the car you drive is hard for u to operate for whatever reasons then you can trade it in for something more friendly to you.

I dont get how you crashed into the orange cans on the freeway, cuz its not that hard to go straight and not hit anything, so cant help you there.

Hitting your mirror while backing out of the garage, you should not rely on your mirrors but turn back looking out the rear window to look, THEN use your mirrors to check...

With the Honda fits, you cant see the hood either, so your suppose to estimate... like not tailgating people, and know the length of your car. If you seriously cant do that, only thing that can help your case is parking poles or stick on antennas, that are, or you can put on the edges of your bumper. Helps you know the dimensions of the vehicle when you cant see the cars hood, or anything.

Cant imagine the damage you'll make if you drive a beetle. :rolleyes:
Yeah... uhm I dont know what to say.

You should run those jdm parking pole guides. But one on each side and all the time.

I can't drive anything bigger than a small car. EG coupe, del sol, and this. I drove a huge workvan once and crashed into a parked car when I was squeezing between 2 cars and then turned right, the back half pressed into the car next to me. How can you not drive a car as small as a Fit?

My brother has those on the bumper of his Ram 3500.

Here's how they work: you put the poles on the two front corners of the car. Then, as long as you keep the car between the poles, you're all right.:rotfl:

OP is not driving a Fit. ;)

What is so hard about driving? Steer the wheel the way you wanna go. If there are orange barrels on the road, don't hit them.

stop winking at pretty ladies while driving. you loose depth perception when you only look with one eye. :D

??? I am confused. So the OP is a non-honda driver and is posting on a honda fit enthusiast forum? does this mean that the op is already a member and too embarrassed to use the original SN? or is it completely epic fail?

^wow, first post and already being brutally honest.

Buy a bike. It's already obvious you wear a helmet everywhere anyways.

doctordoom Jun 19, 2009 01:21 PM

grtpumpkin Jun 19, 2009 04:30 PM

Oh God its my mom! She followed me on here! LOL Sounds like the OP needs an APC and the rest of us need to stay home whilst they are out running errands....

Fat Ping Cat Jun 19, 2009 06:20 PM
