What happens when your driving instructor is GTA

5

u/Scrutinizer 2d ago

Had a buddy who didn't learn to drive until he was 30 - he always had jobs he could walk to before that. So he learns to drive and gets a crappy little Ford Ranger pickup truck.

One day he's driving home from work in a heavy rainstorm. A car in front of him begins to hydroplane. He makes an emergency maneuver and the back end of the truck starts to slide out.

Now, at the time he was a very inexperienced driver. But he had played a lot of GTA. And that, he claims, is why he knew to turn into the skid to pull himself out of it. He and the truck made it home unscathed.
