well there is a difference from driving on a straight track and a
track with turns.
In old topspeed I made a track where I ran for about hmmm not sure
maybe 50000 ks of track straight to test the time speeds of cars to
compair custom systems.
Some of those cars are hard to handle on even an easy track at speed.

Actually, I've drove before with my father. Not actually driving on
a road with cars passing around, maybe for 10 seconds. I have the
experience. I could remember when I left the steeringwheel and they
told me I was going to crash! Lol. I didn't really drive for 10
minutes or to a destenation. Lol loved that one, nearly crashing.

If you never drove before. You would be when behind the wheel and
at full control. I would put money on that one and win!
All people when they get behind that wheel are scared. That is why
they have simulators to teach on before you even get behind that wheel.
Those sims look and feel just like a car. When it turns or stops
you feel it. you also see road, trees, street and other cars on road.
it don't take much to go wrong in a car. A bad crash can happen in
just 1ft and the speed? Well that is only told by speedometer not
engine sounds. The cars made today fold up like pop can. So crush
one in hand and you will know just how much damage could happen to
car in short space and time.
But I would love to have just one of those new sims now.

Oh, God, that's all we need, blind drivers! Lol holy crap, I'd be way
to scared to even think of doing this! I'd love to drive, probably
just like a lot of other blind people, but I'm very doubtful it'll
ever happen. Think of all the things that could go wrong. As another
member of this list pointed out, what if the vibrating gloves and seat
malfunction? And if some duche pulls out in front of you? Would you
have enough time to react? Would you have enough warning to pull off
the road? And what if you did get into an accident? Who would be
fixing the car? Certainly a macanic could do the repares on the car,
but what about the most-likely prohibitive cost of reparing the
meckanisms providing feedback to the blind driver? Thanks, but no
thanks. I'll stick to the bus and walking. Oh, and my boyfriend can do
all the driving. We do have a car. Thank God, because groceries are
heavy, and we often buy more than can fit in a small personal wheeled
cart.

I would also, love to know how I can get a hold of that simulator program
and gloves as well.
Now I wonder if we could adapt it for we blind pilot love to be and for
flying the space shuttle as well?
Ron who if were sighted now know's that his career would have been in the
air and hopefully as a CDR and or PLT for the space shuttle as well.

Hi Clement,
I introduced the first article with the statement that the NFB created a
car racing simulator game that they demonstrated at their July 2010
national convention.
It used one-of-a-kind controller vibrating gloves.
Now how can we get our hands on that computer program?
And the gloves?
smiles,
Phil

Agreed. A race track is a race track, the road is a completely different
story... but isn't this a bit off-topic?
