    This thread has about run its course. People calling each other out, this thread being nothing more than a repeat subject of the thread in your link, by the same OP as well. I'm not going to merge them. It would cause entirely too much confusion. I'll check this thread again in a few hours and probably put the chain on the door.

    How on earth did I miss THAT? Where do I find it? I have a doctor's appointment later and need something to entertain me in the waiting room

    Should have left it at question..
    As for turns and what you learn no matter how tight the turn is, do NOT leave enough from for a car to get beside you and curb. They WILL do it if you leave just enough room.
     
    Sirscrapntruckalot and Kyle G. Thank this.

    You better not. The OP will put you on his ignore list and may start another thread about it.

    You can always take her to the track and turn left all year long.

    One of my relatives drove a bus with no power steering. Come to think of it, there wasn’t any AC either.

    To my knowledge, a staffer can't be put on ignore. You can try it and see (and if successful, un-do it. :laughing-guffaw:)
