Driver's Education, Thursday, Period 1

[10secondcar]

The students should be getting used to the Danger Shop setup by now. "I feel like you guys have pretty much got the hang of going in a straight line," Brian said, "so this week we're going to integrate corners." Yes, that was right. You were going to have to turn. "Let's go over how the steering wheel works again." Once he'd done that, he said, "So, you're going to go around the block and back to here, which means our quarter mile is now a mile. Right turns only this week, and there are two things enforcing that: One, all the other intersections are blocked off with traffic barrels, and two, if you manage to go through the traffic barrels, same as a crash, you'll be taken back to the starting line to start over." The barrels were progammed to be full of water, with a brief delay between hitting them and being transported back to the beginning, because Brian thought exploding them was kind of fun.

"Any questions?" After a brief pause, Brian nodded and said, "Then let's get started. Drivers, to your cars."

Wait...you have to do two things at once now?

Anders managed his victory through the expedient step of ignoring the lane markers and edge of the road and taking all the corners quickly and sloppily.

He won, though, so he was going to gloat over it anyhow.

let Thorin be the first to congratulate him on his victory!

"First place?"

Re: Around the Block -- Heat 1

[dwarvenswagger]

Thorin managed to only crash twice! Which meant he wasn't dead last.

For a change.

Either way, he was rather proud of himself.

Ronan figured this would be easy pickings. He'd cruise to first and be smug about it.

The universe had something else in mind because, on a simple right turn, he jerked too far, spun himself out slightly and fell behind.

"Goddammit!" Yes, that helped a lot.

Face'd had to wait an extra week to put his study into practice after coming down with that unfortunate case of bird, but that didn't stop him slamming the accelerator to the floor and keeping it there.

He'd been in enough speeders to feel confident taking the corners at speed, even with the unfamiliar screech of wheels accompanying each turn as opposed to the hum of repulsors.

Sure, Blue could drive around a block. She was just a little surprised by how fast she managed it. "I won?...I won!"

So it turned out that Alex wasn't that great at steering, which she discovered when she attempted to turn the corner and steered to sharply, causing her car to spin out of control and come to a stop. At least she didn't actually crash and still managed to finish the heat, even if she did come last.

Drive Some More!

[10secondcar]

If you'd like some more turns (maybe to find out what happens when you hit the barrels) just wait until everyone else has gone once.

Talk to Brian

[10secondcar]

Who did not want to talk about the fever dream that was last weekend, thank you very much. That future was clearly never going to happen.

Talk to Ronan

[10secondcar]

Once he pings in.

Re: Talk to Ronan

[thegreywaren.livejournal.com]

Ronan was there and not very happy about how he'd done during his go in the car today. It was just going to make him surlier than usual but he was there and trying to look semi approachable.

My girl is in a ridiculous video and spends it driving a racecar and having no time for various members of a KPop boyband and I want to gif it and use it for this class SO MUCH.
