You create a pile of dirt and then drive over it. We may have to learn to drive all over again.
It is easy to turn a scooter, but not a train with 40 bogeys. This is such a big country, changes are constant and widespread.
My sister has kids, including two in baby seats, and she drives a minivan. I had to climb over the car seats to get into the back seat, and it seemed ridiculous to have to do gymnastics to get in and out of the car.
I drive like my body and my limitations leave me to do it. After my accident, I discovered that to do a roundabout in the road car, you don't have to grab the steering wheel, you can use friction to turn.
Everything you need to get that relaxed driving that brings consistency only comes with practice.
Me and my step-dad shared a $500 Chevy Celebrity, a 1983 Dodge Ram truck, and an old Ford Ranger truck - it was a piece of junk. I hated that thing. It fell apart. It didn't always go in reverse. So I drove in a circle or I would just get somebody to sit in the thing and I would push it backward.

There's so many bits on a car these days it's hard to know where everything is. You have a bit of an idea but if you are behind someone and you suddenly change direction it's hard to know exactly where the car is.
Asking the front wheels of a car to do their normal job of steering while handling more than 170 is like asking a man to wire a plug while juggling. Penguins. While making love. To a beautiful woman while on fire, on stage. In front of the Queen. It's all going to go wrong.
