This gives me inspiration for a new story
Weak inexperienced drivers stuck - exciting or not?

@westfil11 I moved, the yard is no longer available.

an inexperienced driver... in some everyday situations? I mean, not getting stuck while off-roading or deep in a muddy forest, more like in a muddy grassy parking lot, on the side of the road, in an uncleaned snowy street, etc.?
These are two different questions and they don't need the same answer. For me, inexperienced driver yes! But there's nothing wrong with off-road; it has way more possibilities for a long session undisturbed. I dream of watching a young driver (or two) who are not only inexperienced in general, but have no experience at all with standard transmission. Somehow they find themselves in a stick shift vehicle off-road (perhaps they find it parked there deserted and become curious enough to try a little joy ride). They've barely started to learn how to shift gears and let the clutch out without killing the engine before they get stuck.

@SlippingSliding yes I love that, especially in a small FWD car.

While waiting at the barber shop yesterday, about 10 a.m., on the television was a show comparing experienced and inexperienced drivers of big rigs in Alaska in winter time. One of them (presumably an inexperienced guy) found himself going too fast downhill on an icy road. So he steered into a snowbank on the shoulder and eventually came to a halt, whereupon of course he was stuck. I should have tried to find out what the channel was. Does this program ring a bell with anyone?
-
@stuckboy to be honest, kinda? RWD is a lot easier to get stuck in total fairness from what I've heard (still fighting a few issues including an avoidance disorder around my kinks, fun times) but a FWD allows for far more fun, desperately turning the wheel to get traction, splattering the hood and windscreen with mud etc
-
About time I actually started chatting on here again in fairness, just had a lot going on for the last year or so
Driving on roads I've decent experience with; driving off roads or on anything muddy like fields, far less so. Definitely a scenario I want to toy with, taking a wrong turn and getting stuck somewhere (I have got some small folding mud boards now for whenever I feel comfortable enough trying out this stuff again and can afford to rent a car; just gotta make sure it goes back clean
) -
@Blackadder261 That's exactly what I love about my FWD Ford. I love getting stuck barefoot.
-
@barefootcarstuck indeed! In fairness, RWD rentals are hard to find in the UK and given I'm not 23 till next week, let alone 25, most are firmly off-limits to me.
If I rent, it'll be from a large corporate firm like Europcar instead of private rental like Turo; not about to muddy up someone's car when I can use a fleet rental instead

@Blackadder261 .. and again and again forwards forwards .. more and more again and again
-
It is nice to be that driver in the wrong vehicle for the situation and stuck. Oh, I shouldnt be driving back here. I might get stuck. what was I thinking. What will I do if i get stuck?
-
That moment of fear when the tires start spinning
-
That feeling, dressed nice, not the right vehicle for the situation
