I know a lot of old people who just know how to drive, but aren't smooth about it at all.
- Doesn't know how to rev match when downshifting, leading to jerkiness
- Abrupt and staggered steering inputs, disrupting the car's balance
- Poor modulation of brakes when stopping, very strong recoil when approaching a full stop
These are taught in proper driving schools, and these are universal skills that are applicable even in racing.

when gramps drove my car a few years back; at the stoplight, he suddenly revved the car very high then slammed it to drive (its an automatic). the tires were screeching and the car was shaking, i was so scared! and the way he cornered, akala ko mag ro-roll over kami! my whole body was literally nakadikit sa side! maybe he just wanted to bring back the glory days of being young... sorry, OT na hehehe...

Hehehe,- I just remembered commenting something to our Tito who was driving his favorite Volvo in NJ, and I was one of his passengers (together with his loving wife, my loving wifey and my in-law)....
I jokingly told him that he was doing the famous CA rolling stop in an all-way stop (intersection).
He never talked with me the whole day (that day only)... However, up to this day, I still regret making that "joke-comment"....

My Car,- My Rules!
Not with one of my oldest first cousins, who I drove for last Monday (holiday)... He was visiting us from NA...
Upon entering our vehicle,- he instantly changed the setting of our AC,- thermostat and blower speed and commented that the AC air is "hilaw" and that I should have the refrigerant (he said freon) checked and when was the last time I had it refilled (as the refrigerant should be good only for 3 years)?
I could only smile and shake my head with the situation I was in...
All was well,- ended well...

Yes bro.
And, I even paid for his family's dinner (and the rest of his siblings, our other first cousins and their immediate family members, too)...
My only consolation bro,- is that he took another cousin's vehicle on our way back from Tagaytay that night....
Good luck to my other cousin who drove for him... he he he....

I hope the PH government will one day remove all the traffic management responsibilities in the NCR...
