Sick passengers

[daiheadjai]

I've had people who were tremendously-susceptible to motion sickness tell me "wow, I didn't feel sick at all when you were driving" - and I'm pretty proud of that.

Part of me is curious to do a brief stint as an Uber driver, but I don't think my cars are acceptable in Uber....

Would never want people in my car as an Uber driver. The amount of drunks and dirty people you'd have to put up with, gross.

But accelerating through a corner, even light acceleration, pushes a passenger's back into their seat and stabilizes them.

If I may add, as someone who suffers from motion sickness, I prefer sport cars with tight suspensions, like one of the twins. Its soft cars like a Blubbery-Buick that can be bad for me.

I think I'd get sick if I had to drive ANY General Motors product.

I may be daft, but it seems almost like some are bragging about being a shitty driver.

Shitty?

Adjective describes a noun
Noun =Driver
Shitty + Worthless, Bad, Uncomfortable.
Probably also describe the passenger ie covered in excrement after such driver.

Maybe I skipped some posts. Not sure I saw anyone bragging about being shitty.

My mom used to ride with me. She'd wink and say, "Don't get a ticket."




Also, she taught me how to fly, so...

Does that explain your picture?

I'm sure it explains a lot of things.

It's great that folks can carry passengers without making them sick. That said, for many people non violent, but pronounced changes in the direction and intensity of G forces will unsettle their inner ears. My approach to street performance driving is similar to what the guys at Cycle World used to call "The Pace." This involves limited use of the brakes and using the accelerator only in the corner itself after which the pace is set to (more or less) the entry speed for the next corner.

In this mode, axial G forces tend to be mild to nonexistent. Smoothness is the goal. And yet, if you're running at 90+% of the Gs a tire will provide on a serpentine road, some folks will still green up on you as surely as costume jewelry in a Louisiana summer.

Interesting that it's a known technique. I discovered on my own that this is the style of driving I enjoy the most. On a good twisty road with turns following one another it's sublime.
