STEERING If you turn the wheel left, the car goes left. If you Turn the wheel rightl, the car goes right. That is, unless you push accelerator all the way down, then you will probably go left or right while the car swaps ends. CRASHING Remember driving isn't inherently dangerous... crashing is. It's always better to be on the sidelines wishing you were on the track than on the track wishing you were on the sidelines. FUEL The ONLY time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. THE REAR WHEELS The rear wheels are just big fans used to keep the driver cool and his butt relaxed. If in doubt... watch. When they lock up or slide out you can actually see the rider start sweating and pucker marks appear on the seat. TOO SLOW No one has ever hit something too slow. DRIVE A "good" DRIVE is one you can walk away from. A "great" DRIVE is one you can walk away from and use the car again. GETTING HIT They can't hit you if you're not there. MISTAKES Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself. TRACTION When traction is sparse, the probability of survival is inversely proportional to the level of throttle. Lots of throttle, small probability of survival and vice versa. YOUR BRAIN Never let a car take you somewhere your brain didn't go five seconds earlier. PARKING Always try to keep the number of times you park the car equal to the number of times you drive it. LUCK AND EXPERIENCE You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck MIRRORS If all you can see in your mirrors is the direction you were previously traveling intermingled with sparks, and all you can hear is commotion from the passenger ; things are not at all as they should be. JUDGEMENT Good judgment comes from experience. Unfortunately, experience usually comes from bad judgment. GOING FORWARD It's always a good idea to keep the headlight end going forward as much as possible. LOOKING Keep looking around. There's always something you've missed. LAWS Remember, Friction and centrifugal force are not just good ideas. They're laws not subject to repeal.
