Place to learn to drive?

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I can't find anywhere else to post it.

I'm looking for a large empty parking lot or something similar to learn to drive in, where we won't get kicked out of by security. I just got my permit a few days ago, and I live in the Atlanta, GA area.

The hospital usually has a big parking lot. Also try the police station.

go to a store parking lot at night when its closed like toysrus make sure its safe around though and lock your doors.

go to a big parking lot, like maybe a run downed business or store parking lot, cuz obviously there wouldnt be any security there

I can barely remember but I used a stadium parking lot.

Wussies. I was driving on the streets before getting my license :p

I drive on the streets now...and i don't even have my permit! lol

I think the best is those huge public, non-paying, non-membership commuter parking lots. They're usually the largest and most empty at nights.

School parking lots work well, I learned in our high school parking lot when I was like 8.

I went out do an industrial park area on a sunday. High Tech companies also work well as most have no employees anymore.

I learned at a big empty beach parking lot. I learned stick when my friend was too hammered to drive his car home (good thing he lived across the street from me!)

An airport runway is a nice long good stretch to learn on.

Aren't the police not able to punish you for illegal driving or driving without a license etc because youre on school property?

An airport runway is a nice long good stretch to learn on. An airport is a nice place to test high speed. A better place would be on a video game since congress and some parents thinks video games stimulate real life. :lol:

streets....thats where i learned

Country roads

High school parking lot worked for me. It shouldn't be that hard to find a parking lot in Atlanta. Should it? :bloated:

No its not, I first learned to drive stick in some office parking lot, then drove around the roads they have around the offices. Then the street, sometimes with parents, sometimes without. Getting my license in 5 days though, so I will be legal! I live in Atl too, Alpharetta to be more specific.

My mom taught me in some industrial area with roads, no cops/security. That was like a 20 minute drive though, I got ahold of my Maro and just began driving, still am without a license and im not proud of it, I still gotta get my permit and crap.

go find back country roads. parking lots aren't really that great to learn to drive in, they're not big enough.

I learnt to drive in an empty shopping center car park.





I can run excellent slaloms around lamp poles as a result :D

Your from atl, i forget the name of the road that loops around the city (285 maybe?) but just take a quick spin around the city a couple times. If you survive with all the fucked up drivers around there, your a good driver. If you dont....youll know you shouldnt have tried driving yet.

Yes, 285, what a great highway to confuse people. Some dude was once rude to me when asking directions, I told him to take the last exit on 285. Still laughing about that. By the way my exam is tomorrow, and so is my bday. Finally 16.

I learned on the streets... Sometimes sice I live out in Salinas/Monterey Bay Area, California. I would have gone around Highway 1 or Reservation Rd an long 3 mile straight away on Reservation road and I would learn there. Thats where I take my car to try to go top speed....

Autocrossing is what you want. Come check our forum section on it under racing.
