Jennifer Saunders Quotes

When you're driving on a normal track, you can see the braking point from 500 m. away.

My job is to get into the car and drive as fast and as well as possible.

I rate myself as a driver, but I think everybody does.

And luckily, therefore the good old days return. The traditional art of driving counts again, and it is all about good tactics, skills and reflexes instead of simple power.

Everything you need to get that relaxed driving that brings consistency only comes with practice.

I learnt to drive at around eleven years old. In an old jeep on a field in Colorado. There were lots of ditches. I could barely see over the steering wheel.

I've never wanted to drive a car fast for the sake of it. I mean, I like nice cars. I've got the Bentley, I've had a Lotus, I've had a Rolls-Royce and a few Jaguars, including an E-type. But I'm not somebody for driving tremendously fast.

I cannot drive very well. I drive slow and very safe. I don't know cars that well.

First time I looked at a Formula One car in person, I just stared at the cockpit, figuring I'd never get in there. The drivers wear the whole car like a tight-fitting suit.

I'm an awful driver. I'm not going to lie about it. I'm not a good driver. I tried for a long time to pretend that I was. There's a lot of road rage and a lot of times it's directed at something I've done on the road.

I can now successfully drive a stick. That's a huge accomplishment.
