>drive like a maniac in racing games
>cant even pull out of a driveway in a real car without freaking out
Why?

I can drive but I can't park between other cars so I park in the farthest spots away.

A fuck up in a racing game, costs you a fucked up race so 5 minutes at most, maybe up to an hour in some simulator games.
In real life each fuck up can cost you a lot of money or can even get you in a lot of trouble.

You ignored my mystery nigga thread...

I understand being afraid of the interstate or whatever, but your driveway? You live with your parents too?

Is it too late to learn? There are women driving out there so it shouldn't be that hard but I'm worried my neuroplasticity has decayed enough to fuck it up and crash.

backing out or backing in to the driveway with cars coming freaks me out...

People are saying 'its because of the real risk' but that's 100 IQ shit, the actual reason is that racing games give you a clear third person overview of the car in it's entirety and the space around you, whereas driving is very 'feelings' based. Particularly when pulling out of a driveway what few monitors you do have for anything not immediately in front of you are very narrow and skewed, you mostly have to operate on how big you 'feel' the car is.

If you could get out of the car and watch yourself drive in the third person with a clear and constant view of your size and the obstacles around you, it would feel a lot less uncertain

The fuck man I do a j-turn out the back of my gravel driveway every day. Y'all niggas probably brake through corners too.
