I find that if I hop into an arse dragger, I tend to run over things with the rear wheels when I turn. ie: When I go around (or even through) roundabouts, the inside rear will hit the roundabout.


I take it you mean FWD? Nice term for it, I'll have to remember it. Smile Wow, isn't there anyone else that doesn't feel bothered for if it's a FWD or RWD and can just get in it and go? But I do understand what people are used to driving ALL the time and can really feel the difference between the two. Wink

But hang on, you said inside rear? So you fully mount the rear on the roundabout?


Nah, I touch whereas I normally don't.

And yeah, arse dragger = FWD. I like that term too. Smile

I tend to run real close to kerbs (my mags wear lots of battle scars from that) to get the best line through a corner and a few cms can mean the difference between hitting and missing.


So THAT'S the excuse you use for hitting gutters. Very Happy

You gotta really practise driving close to stuff if you keep hitting it, those wheels of yours are too nice to hit on stuff. I can comfortably drive within inches of parked cars, and that came from practise driving up and down my street because noone except for me has grasped the concept of keeping their cars in their driveways or garages it would seem.


Yeah, I know where my car ends. But I tend to take roundabouts at high speeds.
And since there are no adverse effects to hitting the roundabout, I tend to run as close as I can to them. Once in a while I misjudge.
Kerbs are a different matter...
