Mind a bit of Mainland driving advice?

[HeathcliffMontague]

No, I don't mean to go gown that rabbit hole again Mainland dweller here, mostly ground dweller, and I don't mind if you crash into my yard, I ensure you. Stuff happens. 

But...

There are countless driving SIMs where you can get to know your vehicle first, and getting to know what SL driving is, before you embark at speed 11 between SIMs.

Happy driving from a fairly experienced both a track and Mainland SL driver.

I just think it would be nice if they'd occasionally stick around to help with the clean up when they do.

Not the first time someone has complained about my driving and won't be the last.

I'm a Slow Sunday Driver in Second Life, in part because I know better than to speed over region boundaries. 😆

Maybe someone should set up an official SL driving school. It would be a scream to have L-platers around the mainland. Not for the mainland residents obviously. I've never gone faster than warp factor 2 and always ended up stuck in someone's fence or fishpond so it's Shanks's pony for me forevermore.

This would be brilliant  And have a test with @HeathcliffMontague with a clipboard too 🙂

If SL cars could get damaged like in GTA 5, every single one would have dents in the sides...I've NEVER been able to keep in a straight line on SL, so just drift between the walls on each side, lol. Worst is when the car suddenly goes underground and you end up bald and flying through the sea  I once ended up crashing into someone's rooftop party, but they were OK about it!

LL should make it mandatory to put this sign up at all ban lines near roads

Somewhere buried in my inventory is a scruffy old flatbed truck that I got from a place called Joke Factory. It's scripted to fall to bits, doors come off, and I think a wheel or two, I shall have to dig it out at some point again. 

Defo need that sign. Ban lines are a real pain in the arse, but it used to be great when people left a ghost behind through crashing vehicles on sim/region borders.

The Linden Vehicle Sandbox is a good place to start

I love to drive the roads of Heterocera continent.
Especially the cobble roads. By car, bicycle, motorbike and horse. A great way to explore.
And dont forget the SLRR.. Forgotten or even unknown by a lot of SL residents 

The roads are empty, The railways are deserted.
Along the railways you will find beautyfull builds, villages and much more.

All worthwhile to discover
And the lag of the old days is gone and much less now.
I can drive pretty fast and don't crash very often.

Speaking of rails and sandboxes, there's a Premium test track with four regions of SLRR-compatible rail.

Every SLRR station also has a little rez zone in front, so the whole SLRR is pretty handy for testing and learning to control a new locomotive.
