I never started playing video games until after I started driving. And yes, I am a good driver. I am crediting this to over six years experience driving (which isn't that much, but it's lots enough to learn to drive) many different vehicles, ranging from small cars, to sports cars, to fifteen passenger vans, and forty-foot semi trucks with or without a trailer.
I can drive and have driven in almost any and all conditions: wet and dry pavement, gravel roads where the gravel is thrown to the sides, freshly graded gravel roads, completely muddy gravel roads, sheer ice, patchy ice, six inches (or more) of snow, "finger-drift" type snowdrifts, and...well, I can't really think of anything else. Been there, done that.
The only time I've gone off the road in any of those situations was when I was driving my one Supra in winter. I had to wind up to about 100 kilometers an hour to get through this one snowbank that was on the road every day (it kept drifting in). The car would literally skid overtop of the snowbank, the tires barely, if at all, doing anything. The one day it caught the ruts a little wrong, and the back end swung out as I came out of the snowbank. I corrected it one way, then the other way, but then it swung further, and it felt like I couldn't steer far enough to correct it. I hit the ditch. Turned out that my front wheel-wells were stuffed full of ice, preventing me from turning as tight as normal. I picked up a 4x4 pickup after that.
I've had experience; I'm good at driving.
