animats Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Ref: Driver's Ed comes to SL. The Bellessarian Bureauย of Bureaucracy is issuing drivers' licenses. So far, they don't have a road test. Drivers of SLย has a road test that works. Last weekend's drive includes it. You add a HUD, and it gives turn by turn navigation while checking your driving precision. Maybe the BBB and Drivers can connect and get a Drivers HUD made up for their road test route. Here's my tutorial on how to drive in Second Life. Many people have a terrible time driving around SL, but it's a learnable skill. It does take some practice. Then you can zip around much of mainland SL at 100kph or better. Not Bellessaria, though, which lacks through roads. 4 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid Nagy Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) What about the 2nd amendment of SL that states that every resident can drive a vehicle without a licence in SL? Where is my pitch fork, I will defend my rights in world if needed. ๐ ย Edited November 28, 2022 by Sid Nagy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whilst a driver's license isn't by any means required (nor is the passport), it's just one of those fun things to make everyday SL-life (yeah, I know that spells out 'Second Life-life' - and that abbreviating it to then write it out in full, along with an extended live commentary, isn't necessarily as efficient as just not abbreviating it at all. But I wanna). Um, where was I? Oh, yeah, makes SL-life more interactive!ย ย ย Of course, having a license only matters if the rozzers can keep up. Or if you don't know how to flirt your way out of a sticky situation.ย 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katherine Heartsong Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Wait, does this mean I get to watch that dated scare films showing car crashes and mangled bodies from the 1950s and 60s to warn us all about careless driving again like we did in driver's ed class in the 70s? I know you were supposed to go "Ewww" but most of us were like, "Coooooll", that poor person looks just like a twisted ragdoll. Sign me up!

Jim Crisp Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Do any vehicles in SL have gears that work realistically? The ones I have tried had gears that affected only speed, not torque. To go uphill, I needed to upshift, not downshift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished a grid drive and got a sweet limited edition camo truck that is super realistic as the payment!
