I am sure simracing did effect my driving skills and I believe it was in positive way... I drive RWD and I think that lfs though me react far more quickly on oversteering and other critic situations...
it also helped me a lot when I was driving on a circuit...few laps on Nordschleife and you are much better driver imho...
but on the other hand I dont think I am speeding because of lfs...I really dont have much money to pay fines and in our country police is everywhere especially on the places where it is not dangerous but easy to exceed allowed speed and i quite enjoy driving even when I am driving within law...
sometimes I just need to have fun through some corners so I rev an engine a bit and do it a bit more on the edge but... safety first
I never use mobile phone, drive only on orange lights - very often...just happens so, had two accidents...both not my fault...one of them in driving school
and my driving experience is almost 3 years... about 60-70000km driven via the whole Europe...
and I hate unnecessarily slow drivers which are doing like 70kmh on a straight road outside the city just for fun of having kilometer long queue behind themselves and making the traffic far more dangerous because this makes people act risky and overtake when it is not safe
and what I also hate an opinion that driver with 2 year experience must be necessarily worse than driver with 20-year experience...I dont define myself as a great driver but not bad one either...still much to learn but some drivers who are less skilled than me think they are the best and then it ends up not exactly well
in the words of Top Gear: "If you have no interest in cars, you have no interest in driving. If you dont have interest in something, it means you´re not good at it which means you must have your driving licence taken away." i couldnt agree more...this rule would imho make roads much safer
damn I wanted it to make a short post so someone would read it
