he *single handedly* told one of the best stories on here.
My Drivers Ed experience was not this interesting, but the dealership defensive driving class we all had to take after I crashed the Aventador, my boss crashed the C63, and the owner crashed a Bentley Supersports was a lot of fun.
Wasn't fun crashing the cars I'm sure
It’s not how the story starts but, how it ends that matters. 🙌
Story time
We need this as a story
Thats something I need to hear
“They might’ve taught us how to program L.L. Bean into our navigation system but they didn’t have navigation in Maine until 2018 shortly after they got the internet”. Love Dougs stories
As a North Country Sasquatch (WHite Mountains, North of the Notches, if you don't know where you are, or where you're going, you didn't need to get there anyway.
He and rabbit - best stories.
Hahah “how to open the door for your cousin on a date”
As a Mainer, I just laughed so hard my Subaru fell off its blocks
Fell off? Or the car fell straight down around the blocks because of the rust?
Woody Balto it would have fallen through the blocks then.
Lmao same weve got 2 subis and a Ford F150
“Open the door for your cousin on a date” wait what 6:25
I know a guy with NO ARMS who does track days all time. It's incredible to watch his videos. He just passed my personal best lap time too.
Are his vids on the tube?
@@abedkojok3209 yes look up LeftFootThrottle
My drivers ed was my dad throwing me the keys and telling me to follow him.
That is how I learned to drive a stick. A friend told me to take his car, a Datsun F-10, here and there and I had to decide to either sit there, or teach myself to drive a stick. It was very easy to learn.
@@mexicanspec when I was 15, I bought a 87 Mustang, thats was rusted beyond saving for $150. Learnt stick by driving it around my uncles farm, then drove it to a pick and pull and got $200.
Mine was going on a curvy mountain road at 15-20 miles above the speed limit (rarely got lift off but occasionally got on two wheels since this was like 90 degree curves at 60+ mph with a new driver over steering) in a 4 banger auto trans 1992 or 93 toyota Camry that had a salvage title due to it being ran into a tree by the previous owner and my grandma screaming her head off at me because i ease on the brakes instead of slamming them
I see Ed in the title I click!
Lol
🤔🙄
Man card should definitely be earned...
Or how about we don't gatekeep how people live? I get it's hard to understand, especially from the man who once had someone's cat put down but still.
Labtec A what happened here?
@@labtec514 I'm very confused
Labtec and you’re offended... good for you. Enjoy your life
5:08 “these are guys doing this adult men who have children and own houses”
Best quote of the day
human society is now doomed
Mine was the gym coach. Inappropriate comments were made.
Mine was an ex-cop
Same here. Lol
So was mine. Mr. Dreher.. a real pain in in our lives. Either in drivers ed or in gym class
Doug is one of the best story tellers alongside Rabbit and that dude with the long hair and the piercings
Chris is the longhair dude.
I thought the answer to the speed limit question was "optional"
The homeschool line hit me good
Perfect timing every time! Whenever I get in my free period in school, Vinwiki uploads
It's almost like Ed has this set up to auto upload at the same time every day. Oh wait....
My dad taught motorcycle safety and driver's ed for like 28 years I did all my hours with him when I was getting my license just chilling cruising around. East coast love.
Last time I was this early, Andrew was still using his Big Brain
[VINwiki] - "This is not the Doug you're looking for"
My drivers ed teacher in 2005 happened to be my mom's driver ed teacher from a totally different high school back in 1981.
He was so old he fell asleep after taking us to the only major traffic circle nearby the school. It was 30 miles away in the town of Newton Grove, NC. We did the traffic circle a few times and got back on I-40 East. The other student and I didn't know that the next destination was supposed to be the 'World's Largest Frying Pan" in Rose Hill.. he always selected some cheesy local attraction for us to drive to... I drove a good while on 40 listening to his Jazz music on the radio. I finally woke him up as I took the exit at Castle Hayne, near Wilmington.
"How to shave your wife's beard." hahaha
"How to open your cousin's door on a date"
🤣🤣🤣
“ how to open the door for your cousin on a date” “ how to shave your wife’s beard” This guy is the funniest guy on vinwikki hands down
In rural VT I was taught in drivers ed to drive down the middle of the road, on dirt roads in winter (where sand is only spread in the middle of the road).
As someone who lived in rural VT for many years, that's the only way to do it.... get close to the sides for any reason other than to slow down and pass someone going the other way, and you'll end up on your side in the ditch.
my drivers ed instructor picked me up and the car stank like weed lol this was 06 b4 decrim in MD. Also i hit an unmarked speedhump with him at like 60mph , got enough air his coffee came out of cup holder and left a stain on the roof. Luckily he wasnt aware either so i didn't fail lol
In 2000 i had the pleasure of being in the uk army and on a very specialist advance driving course which the aim of was to teach you to drive diplomats in hostile countries around. I to was blown away by the ' make progress according to road conditions and traffic ' idea. 2nd day out one of my fellow attendees wrecked a 740I E36. No one batted an eye and the next day an audi S8 turned up to replace it in the training fleet. Respect to military budgets.
Yo quiero mas vinwiki and coffee!! Keep the great stories coming guys thanks for all the hard work and effort y'all put on making these videos!!!
The basic speed law is just that: "Reasonable and proper for the conditions." Numeric limits referenced in state law are the maximum allowable speeds under ideal conditions. In Canada, most speed limit signs include "Conditions Permitting." I'd like to see that adopted in the US as well). Now, I got my learner's permit the day I turned 16 (this was in 1977), but didn't take a formal Drivers Ed course until the following summer. One day during the classroom sessions, we took an older sample Massachusetts learner's permit test. In reviewing the test afterwards with the class, the instructor prefaced one question with the remark. "Now I doubt that anyone will have gotten the answer to the next question correct. What does a solid white line in the center of a two way road mean?" I raised my hand and said "I know the answer. It's C) Do Not Pass." After a pause, the instructor replied "Now can you explain to the class why it's the correct answer." My response "Because the use of yellow to separate opposing traffic on two way roads didn't becaome a standard until 1961. This test is from 1955, before that happened."
Mom let me drive around an abandoned Kmart Parking lot. I drove 2 laps, parked in a regular space, then parked parallel in a delivery space. Took the test 20 minutes later. My instructor was a very bored black woman with amazing braids who didn't say a single word until the end: "Go inside, get your temp. I hope you ain't been driving illegally". I got my learners the week before my 16th bday.
Now you have to wait a year between learners and a practice/limited license you have for the next year or some crap.
I'd take Beautiful Braids over Def Leopard Drummer Dan.
Massachusetts has always been one year between permit and license unless you have formal instruction - then it's only six months. However, formal instruction gets your parents a break when they add you to their insurance, so it's a good idea to do it for that reason alone.
Listen to these stories while working thanks for getting me out of work quicker
The back roads is where I learned how to drive as well, and how to drift and rally a 1990 Lincoln Town Car, never crashed but man it was fun!
Not drivers Ed, but my drivers test. It was pouring down rain, and I missed a yellow light. When the drivers examiner looked over at me, like I had failed, I said oh well F it , hit the gas and did a wide fishtail into the Asheville DMV on a 1987 560SEC. She laughed and asked me why I had done it. I told her... “you were going to fail me anyway, so I might as well drive like I’m able while I can” She passed me anyway
Love old mates sense of humour. Keep the great content coming!
Having tried that line with a police officer in Australia after being pulled over doing 180kph in a 100kph zone, it didn't work, I was arrested, car impounded, long license suspension, opps , love your stuff Doug .
My driving instructor was an eccentric old biker and that '06 Focus became an extension of my body.
My drivers ed experience was the guy suggesting to try lsd after we were listening to the Doors. Nice guy and good instructor though
This is not a joke, I swear
That’s good advice
I was just remembering today about how excited I was to get my driver's license. I was trying to remember how old I was when I started driving my dad's pickup around on the vacant half acre behind our house. Probably 13 or 14.
My very first car was a 92 Taurus SHO with a 5spd 😍 dying to find another one! Conan O’Brien still has his! Emerald Green just like the one you had! Mine was blue.
I'm so glad we got the internet 2 years ago so I can watch you on TH-cam
And my favorite thing i used to do in high-school when I got my license was just drive every storm all night backroads with my friends. Just you the snow and a plow truck every couple hours
My drivers ed was the on road practice where the instructor had brakes also. We where going down the HWY and he said turn on to another HWY. I cam up to a sign with that number and said this one, to which he replied yes, so i shot into what turned out to be a Truck slow down ramp or something all gravel, and he slammed the breaks so hard we did 360s at 50.
Great and fun story from Doug as always.
7:08 That is *pure gold.*
We should now define what is understood by *"safe".*
This was about 2-3 years ago but My Drivers Ed teacher was like If Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was a comedy Duo . He was either Dead pain serious or have you in stitches so bad youd have to pull over and roll on the ground Laughing. one of his main techniques was to say anything serious or sarcastic , really what ever came to his mind to distract you and constantly make you try to mess up . One of his favorite things to do was when we lasted a cop , city county state or the like he was roll down the window as iwould drive by and either yell “ Hey! You want a Donut ?! “ or he would lean out the window rapidly snort 3 times andYell “ BACON !!! “ as loud as he could .
I’ve started drivers ed this week and suddenly get this recommended
Excellent story as always
The biggest thing I learned in Driver's Ed was "never drive faster than you can see." His idea was to get us to slow down at night. Being brought up with European cars with European headlights, and being a lighting designer for the school musicals, I took it to mean you need to put better, brighter lights on the car so you can drive faster.
On my rally car, that meant 7" headlights with 125/150w H4 bulbs and Marchal lights (one spot, one flood) with 130w bulbs. It also meant the car wouldn't idle with all the lights on, upgrading the alternator, and keeping a spare fan belt with me.
That light setup also forced me to withdraw from a Canadian over night TSD rally, but that's a whole story of it's own.
I had a SHO identical to that one. The handling was sketchy, but, that Yamaha engine was epic.
my drivers ed experience was PAINFUL. wouldnt let me go any faster than 10 UNDER the whole time.
Mine was my middle school shop teacher. He hated me because I knew more about cars than him. He also hated how I sucked at driving (at the time) but could perfectly parallel park. Neither him or I could understand how I could parallel park perfectly but terrible at everything else
I took driver's ed so my mom could get a break on her insurance. Found out after the examiner gave me my license that he almost failed me because 'you were too comfortable behind the wheel'. Welp maybe because I took the test in a Olds Cutlass station wagon with power everything but learned to drive on a 68 Chevy van with 3 on the tree, no windows on the side or back and standard steering had something to do with me being comfortable behind the wheel. Still doesn't beat a one handed rally driver tho
These stories are SO good! :D
Can we talk about the fact that Doug looks like he rolled out of bed and put a hoodie on
"Received atleast 2 more trophies" lol
I knew a dude kinda like this with like 2 fingers on a hand and they weren’t ya know, regular sized fingers. He actually lived in a room that was a closet under the stairs with literally only enough room for his twin sized bed. Well short story long his first car was a 5.0 mustang and before he even got his license his tweeker dad stole the mustang, ended up running from the cops and this being in Cottonwood AZ, he ended up losing control on a dirt road and rolled it. That kid never got a break..... I hope he’s doing ok.
Next on vinwiki “how not to get charged by moose on the highway”
Last day of driving class for me was a drinking and driving class where they taught us by what different cocktails were and how drunk they'll get you
Love the stories
My drivers test was literally me driving the guy around to run various errands he had to do. Went to 5 places and he was always telling me to hurry up.
Love the Holden badge at 6:20
My driver's test story: I had actually been driving for several years, as my Dad had me take the wheel whenever we were going someplace starting around age 14. Since there was no penalty for taking your test in an automatic instead of a manual, I brought the station wagon instead of the beetle. But parallel parking was my weak point. It was just something I hadn't done much.
So I'm driving the instructor around, and as we approach a lumber yard he says "Park up here." So I follow the procedures: I put on my turn signal, I pull past the parking space and stop. And the guy in the pickup behind me comes just close enough that I can't back into the space. I shift into reverse, but he doesn't take the hint. I stick my arm out the window and motion to him to come around me, but he doesn't budge. "Wave him around," says the examiner. "I did," I reply.
And after long seconds, the examiner says "Nevermind. Just go."
And he just had me drive around some more. He didn't ask me to parallel park again.
So thank you, unnamed dud in a pickup truck who wouldn't pull around me on a narrow street within 100 feet of an intersection, but also wouldn't back up enough to let me park. You saved me from the only part of my driving test I was worried about.
7:00 your instructor was thinking of back in the70s-80s highway signs said SPEED on top with 60 or whatever number below. Those were Speed signs...anything( which is mostly all of the signs) that say SPEED LIMIT...60....that is the highest limit for that section legally
4:33: none of them could figure out how to change a spare tire
me: my dad and I just figure that out on my mom's van alone in with wind throwing dust into our hair. Seriously?
I grew up in Maine as well, and can confirm there was a moose talk at driver’s ed.
Public school drivers ed in Tampa taught me a lot. If we’d had some rain our instructor would take us across the street and let us practice slides and bootlegger turns.
I still shake my head when adult guys can't change a tire. This is the kind of stuff I figured out on my own as a kid before I could even drive. And putting the wheel on backwards is inexcusable, how did none of them question if they were putting it on the right way? Just by guessing, you could figure out which way the offset seems to go.
"my parents weren't rich" but " i drove a porsche at 16"
this dude has rich kid delusions.
The flannel shirt thing was probably a filter before they allowed you to take the class. If you don’t already know, you probably need to just move out of the state.
Can Not Wait for the next Car “Top Gear” series... what kind of antics are in store for us?
What a coincidence? A video about drivers ed the day I’m taking my driving test.
I was on a cross country trip. I found a gravel road in Illinois, crossed into Indiana and never once hit an inch of paved road. I drove throught the night, gravel roads all the way from Illinois to Ohio. The only vehicles I remember were a few amish buggies. I stopped for the night at my grandparents farm in Lagrange county Indiana, which was on a gravel road. ....a very fond memory!!!! 😊 ....it must have been almost 30 years ago. ....something tells me it can't be done today. 😐
This guy is roasting Maine like Delaware doesn’t exist
I'd like to see you as a +1 on the next season of car trek!
I swear being from Maine makes these 100x funnier 😭😭😭😭
I started my driving years in Maine, and this cracked me up.
@switchcars Doug what is the car your standing in front of at 9:56? It looks so cool. I swear the car I grew up in had the same style wheels too.
Pajama day for Doug... Me too bro. Me too.
My dad had a 91 taurus sho in the same green. Sweet
My drivers Ed instructor was from slovakia and bought myself and the friend I was doing drivers Ed with booze, also told us how to watch out for police and got us up to 170km/h on the highway
I was also very anxious to get my license. On the written test I got 2 questions wrong and that was because in class we learned the old drunk driving laws and on the test the new ones were on there. MADD had just got new legislation passed. On the driving part, I got 100% in a 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham. It was a very easy car to drive.
A doctor came to my shop and didn’t know how to open his hood or even pop it 😂
I'm from England, I always thought it was called drivers Z! Was looking at the title and was thinking they made a typo. Guess Ed for driver education makes allot more sense.😂
This guy's Church stories are the best.
Those driving test administers sound like the same ones from when I took it in 2013.
Woo! I took the picture at 7:25! 😁
Hit 93 mph in Drivers Ed on I-85. Told Instructor big trucks made me nervous and asked if I could scoot around truck up ahead. Good times.... Have since hit 155 on 85 (no traffic out of course).
This man just roasted his his entire state all in one breath
The Trooper with the "everybody fails reputation" passed me the first time and didn't even make me parallel park. Reputations for driver ed testers are overrated.
For my road test, I wasn't even tested on 95% of the stuff I had practiced for. The Registry of Motor Vehicles (Massachusett's name for their DMV) took students on one of three routes for their road tests. The driving instructors knew them by heart and had their students drive each one of them at least once before taking the road test.
Western Maine Driving Academy? We used to be neighbors! When my mother, out to Bethel, wanted to learn to drive (Early 1950s), her mother, who owned the Shell Oil Distributorship for Oxford County, called in her Chief Driver, noted that Mom wanted to learn to drive, and that she was to do so by making delivery runs with him. In the mountains, in the winter. Loaded 1950s Oil Truck.
Me, I started by co-driving snowplows from 'bout 3 years old on, pretty typical, really.
Is no one pointing out the photo of him behind the wheel of a Holden?
'Ey guy, just put the corn to 'er and send 'er down route 2. They put new tahmac in last summah, so you should be all set bub.
OMG!!! too funny
Lmao “how to open the door for your cousin on a date”
"It didn't seem to hamper his rally driving skills but I CAN IMAGINE THAT HE WASN'T VERY GOOD AT ROCK PAPER SCISSORS."
This guy is fantastic. I've never heard a story from him I did not enjoy immensely.
I relate well to Doug. I also grew up in Maine.
Independent Ferrari Service plate frame on the SHO, Shout out to John Tirrell @1:07
He really said open your door for your cousin on a date 😂
My State of Maine defensive driving instructor wouldn't let me drive unless I was intoxicated.
I took my motorcycle license driving test on January 4th 1978 after/during a snow storm with a bald rear tire
Well how do you do the moose thing!!
Doug is hillarious!
Why does Doug have a Holden badge on his LHD steering wheel??
Was Travis involved in this?
