[Modified]

Right

moving out friday and on saturday im borrowin a mates tranny van!
ive never driven a van thing before! ive had 2 puntos and 2 saxos lol

now i have the choice for me to drive it or get my girls dad to drive it.....what ya think :S

[Mr_suv]

ul be fine just take it easy on corners and drive it slower than ur saxo ul get on fine, oh and dont drive too close to the kerb

[eoey]

you'll have to get use to using the mirrors thats all you wont be able to look behind you in some of the transits

[OLLYVTS]

They are easy to drive.Just watch the back wheels when going around sharp conner as they will hit the kerb because they are long than a car.

[AdamW]

About as easy as it is to crash one......


I drove one a couple of times.....steering was literally full lock to the left to go straight.....serious..

Mate was adament the tracking was alright lol

[frankie]

easy as pie to drive, although i find the accelerator wierd

Ive driven many a transit, usually have a shave whilst driving on my way to work.

[raunchz]

It's dead easy - I was asked to drive a B&Q delivery van once, was 18, s***ing myself btu is much easier than you think. Like everyone's said, just use your mirrors and take it easy and you'll be fine!

[Tupps]

Very easy imo

Just need to watch the back end and make sure you don't scrape any cars or plough over any kerbs

i find driving new vehicles pish, its like a bike, if someone gave you a bmw you could ride that like any other bike? you g et used to the diff in size just take it easy,

i only used to have tiny cars nova saxo baleno, then at work i got a big passat so i just used that as my new training car knowning if i crashed it in a kerb then it wouldnt matter, i basically showed my bro how to drive his own 1year old vectra and how to reverse park the thing for fun.

Just like when someone gave me a bmx and i drove it like any other car :P :y:

[insane_saxo]

Exactly like driving a car, just abit longer in length, I drive a New transit T280 at Work they are quite Torquey too ;), and fun to drive!

[dave1]

easy mate i drive one every day at work

[Graeme]

scary at 1st but after about 10 mins of driving you will be fine

as said just use your mirrors

[CampDavid]

Dead easy

[Mugello]

just go abit slower on the corners, but if crappy builders can drive them im sure you will do great.

[Crunkers]

What size is the transit? I used to drive a 3.5 tonner. They're pretty easy, just make sure you leave yourself enough space on turns and you'll be fine

[atomicadam]

is it white?
if so it don't matter how bad you are, you wil be just like the rest of em :y:

no offence white tranny riders :P

[TypeRhys]

you love driving it.

just hope you have the attitude to drive it lol

[Saxy1]

really easy mate.

[stoney_182]

the first time i drove a van i put a massive dent in the door...oops, take it easy u'll be fine

[Marcos]

i think there easy to drive i drove work one within 2 months of passin and i thought i was driving my car so kerbed it twice and stalled once so just sit further away from kerb and youl be fine

[GreenSaxo]

its really easy.. a lot of people get worried about driving big vans at first.. u just have to wait a bit before turning.. and keep an eye on mirrors...

i do approx 50,000 miles a year in a lwb merc sprinter..

[goldenfurio]

There easy a prefer vans to cars used to driving them round the sites and that at wrok. lol

[Saxo_Steve]

I drive a little renault kangoo or something like that at work, just after I started driving it I reversed it straight into a wall :y:
