#learner drivers

[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

Geparda, 2024. This is not, as far as I can tell, an April Fool's joke. In Germany it is possible to start driving from the age of 16 but young drivers face limits in the size and power of cars they can use until they turn 18. Step forward German company Geparda who are converting the now discontinued VW Up! by fitting very narrow track rear wheels (it's not a 3-wheeler) and de-tuning the engine to 20hp. The company claims to have already delivered cars, which cost €20,000. Geparda is German for "cheetah"

Workshops to assist individuals to obtain a learner licence in a culturally appropriate space are being run later this month in Queensland, Australia.

Oh yeah ANOTHER thing?

It's now canon that Vlad (and by extension probably Danny too) can survive THE VACUUM OF SPACE with no food, water, or air for at least several months if not over a year??

Like yeah we saw him out by Saturn at the end of Phantom Planet but I think a lot of us figured he'd probably die out there (including the characters in the story apparently LOL brutal). But here we have confirmation that (half-)ghosts can pretty much keep going indefinitely on stubbornness alone. Like holy shit, dude. I don't know whether that's awesome or super dark.

My blog can get its G1*

Reminder that not everyone can get their drivers license within the time frame deemed "socially acceptable". Sometimes it takes extra time for financial reasons, physical health reasons, mental health reasons, accessibility reasons, lack of support reasons, etc. It's a difficult process and it's completely acceptable to not get it on your 16th birthday, or to not get it at all. There's nothing to be ashamed of and I'm tired of people being judgemental towards adults who don't have their licenses.

Absolutely ECSTATIC to report that I am two months seizure free today!! 🥳🎊✨️

This is the longest I've gone without a single seizure since I was fifteen years old. I've been working with my therapist, taking my medication as prescribed, and have been practicing coping mechanisms and learning to recognize my cues. I'm actually feeling better, and I never thought that would happen.

right i need your help. i’m currently learning how to drive in a manual car (im in england btw), and have been since the end of october. i’m struggling no end and my instructor is not helping the stress. i’m about 11 weeks away from my test. i cannot do this. i’m not going to sugarcoat this but after my last lesson i considered self-harming and got quite suicidal again. ever since the first (and only) time i got in an automatic car, i felt comfy and have wanted to drive one since. my parents gave me these driving lessons for my birthday with no regard as to my preference or if i was ready. i was not. i knew i wouldn’t be but i had no choice. and i don’t want to sound ungrateful but my parents do what they think is best for me with no regard to my opinion/preference/to me at all and it really hurts bc they don’t listen when i try to talk to them about it. anyway.

i kind of want to start driving lessons in an automatic car. i want to know if i should stick with the manual a little longer or switch to automatic. i want to start paying for it myself, especially so i can have more independence (that my parents also want me to have yet don’t let me have). i currently have no permanent job as i am covering sickness as a temp rn. idk how long i’ll be there. idk who to talk to. i’m also worried i may burn out/may not be ready for driving lessons and get worse mentally (if that makes sense). i really don’t know what to do. so i’m asking you. should i stick with it a little longer? also what is the different between an automatic and a manual and should i go for it/is it safe to? please help. im also doing my own research around it but need other opinions.

Yoooo happy birthday @petrock42clone I made a thing for ya! :D This thing actually took a little while to finish (with the frames being manually being drawn on Ibis Paint and Microsoft Clipchamp being a bitch), but considering what I'm able to do as an amateur animator, I like how it turned out ^^ Characters used (in order of appearance) Sketchy (Axel's ARMSona) Crossfire (my ARMSona) Tracey Doodles (on the left) (ARMS OC by Axel) Scarfer (on the right) (ARMS OC by Axel) Jeon-Neo (Punch Out OC by Axel) Kapster Shot (far left)(ARMS OC by Axel) (I actually did the design based on a description of what he looked like by Axel a while back, so if I missed anything, I'm sorry TwT) Dustin Fleetwood (middle left) (Punch Out OC by Axel) Beep Bow (middle right) (Punch Out OC by Axel) Siren Sparky (far right) (Punch Out OC by Axel)

Here's the inspiration for the video (I also got the audio from there and yes the audio is edited there too)

Okay I'm gonna post (most of) the individual animations below, since I really like how they turned out

I just realized that sitting in a car is really weird, we are just in a thing that goes really fast and we are in a sitting position that is… so weird when you think about it. How do you think that people should travel in cars? Would you stand? Lay down?

my dream for travel is to be able to curl up into a little ball and stare out the window or perhaps stick my head out if the urge arises but unfortunately any of this would prove disastrous in the event of a collision. sad

Need to get access to that national alert system and tell everyone not to go on the road for the next 2 hours whenever I have a driving lesson

[murderballadeer]

my mom said when she visited my cousin and his wife and kids the kids were asking where i was and it’s so sad like i want to see them too but then i would have to go spend time in suburban toronto and i can’t drive

Maybe if you’re planning to illegally park in a disabled space (no badge displayed) on multiple occasions, don’t do it in a car that has the number for the company you work for displayed very visibly on the car
