Quote from mdmx : There are road driving simulators, which simulate real driving situations. Like deer jumping in front of you, driving in high traffic, slippery turns, and stuff like that. I think you can learn from them, quite much actually. But LFS is not road driving sim.
When driving within speed limits, in traffic, it has almost nothing to do with racing. You don't have to know anything about weight transfers and other essential racing stuff. You are driving so slow and so far away from the limits that there is almost no skills needed for actual handling part.
In public roads safer is better. It's all about anticipation and knowing where other cars are and what they are going to do. And not getting aggressive or angry in any situation.
I'll say if you love to drive LFS and love racing you are probably very bad driver for the first years.
At least i was, i crashed twice quite bad, not with other cars but with tree and stone. 2nd time was bad, we were racing with my friend, driving the same road we have driven so many times. It was winter and slippery road. He was right on my tail. 170kmh, tight turn ahead.. Brakes, brakes, brakes... OMG it's slippery. Seat belt broke few of my ribs. Thank god it was on.
And back then i used to think i am very good driver.. Well, i think i was better racer than average john doe, but very bad and risky driver in public roads. There is a big difference.
And this is definitely not a brag, more like warning. Take it ez..
I was lucky, still alive and didn't hurt anyone else either.
