Yeah, the thought that a spin-out, even in a straight line accelleration can happen so easily is a scary thought for an inexperienced driver. I've been driving motorcycles all my life and am still alive, so apparently I do have at least a bit of common sense and restraint, but I'm still a bit fuzzy on what not to do in these cars. I understand not coming off the throttle too fast and the effects of weight shift. Also, importance of smooth shifting. Guess I need to get out somewhere where I can't hit anything if I spin and find out for myself. I've read that driving schools won't send you out in your car with an instructor unless you have dual roll bars (easy Patrick
) so have to look more into that when the time comes.
I really appreciate all the info...
