yaris challenge (manual drivers prefered)

[KSIbucky]

This is a Yaris challenge to see if you can drive a manual transmission Yaris with one hand only. Shifting, steering, everything with only one hand you have to sit on the other hand (or something).

I think I could do it, but if I get the little hint that I could be hurting soon, you can trust me I'll be using my other hand for safety (dying is not fun).

No proof needed that you have completed the task (for other challenges there will be proof needed) please tell us how it goes.

Other Yaris challenges to come.

[death is my gift]

no disrespect but I think this is a pretty silly idea. Dying is no fun but neither is wrecking my baby because I'm being a dumbshit.

[staticorex]

?? You the challengemaster? :p

Does each challenge reveal untold fortunes and enlightenment? :)

[jenarae]

I can do it!

i do that all the time when im on the phone....except i go slower than usual and my phone calls are like a minute...its not that hard...

funny thing i sometimes catch myself holding the phone with my right hand and shifting and steering with the left....then i come to realize and switch hands

[aca72]

Doable but dangerous.

[drifto]

lol i do it when the situation requires it. usually if im smoking a cigarette and drinking some coffee on my way to work in the morning :) (not recommended) but in some dyre instances when i had to anwer my phone and my earpiece was dead, id shift with my left hand and steer with my knees. but its not that hard really, my girl would usually shift for me if needed but when shes not there id improvise i guess. i wouldnt try this in an area where theres traffic though. that would be dumb.

[Black Yaris]

I do that as well sometimes.... hold the phone with the left steer and shift with right

[Jailbird]

I don't drive a Yaris yet (it's on order) but I drive like that pretty often. With enough practice, it comes pretty easy.

actually its pretty easy, most times when i'm driving i'll have my left hand sticking out the window "just chillin" while i steer and shift all with my right hand.

hahah before i did this my ex would just shift for me. The only time i don't drive like this is probably big turns, hectic traffic, and highway driving

yea thats true you probably shouldn't even try driving like this if you're not already used to it

[alhope34]

And people wonder why there are so many accidents...

Makes me really upset when I see people on the phone and trying to drive at the same time. I don't care if you're a better driver than everyone else, everyone thinks that. Driving while talking on a phone, not even to mention trying everything with one hand, is extremely silly and dangerous for everyones' life. Do yourself and everyone else on the road with you a favour. When you get a call, pull over to the nearest parking lot or side street to stop and call them back. It isn't hard.

And before people start whining "if you don't like it, don't read it". I have been in too many situations where I've been driving along, minding my business going the limit, and someone talking on a cell phone drifts into my lane no more than 2 feet in front of my bumper. Other provinces in Canada has made talking on the phone and driving at the same time illegal, and I believe strongly Ontario should do the same. It is the safe and responsible way to drive.

[thatboyjer]

well in my case i don't support talking on your cell fone and driving at the same time. Its illegal here anyways. i'm merely saying from time to time i tend to just chill with one hand out the window and one hand on the wheel and i quickly shift with one hand then return it to the wheel.

[cdmyaris]

Just please drive safe and dont drive dumbass, PLEASE! I dont want see anyone from this forum get hurt or something serious.

Its possible tho. I can do that when im chilling and driving down nicely with no traffic or anything heavy. Like someone said few post ago. Once again, driveeee safee...

[DMart]

i do this when i'm eating, lol, i steer with my knee and shift with my right hand

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i've done this in my Yaris, and when i had my GTI. you know what's worse? driving a m/t with one hand, and a crap load of blood drawn from you.

[Jailbird]

I think alot of the danger of driving depends where you are. Don't get me wrong, an accident can happen anywhere at any time. If I drove in a big city like Chicago or New York, I know for a fact my driving habbits would be drasticaly different. Where I live, out in the sticks of Wisconsin, I don't have to deal with congestion from cars. The main thing that slows down traffic out here is the occasional John Deere tractor pulling a shit-spreader. Wherever you drive, use your head and don't drive outside of your capabilities.

I once went up an undulating and twisty hill road while on the phone, though I did say a lot of "hang on, gotta shift" to the person on the line, as I used my shifting hand to hold the phone.

But as for actual one-handed driving, only when I'm creeping up to a toll booth and trying to squeeze my wallet out of a tight jeans pocket...

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

i do this when im driving and trying to light my one hitter.....

[derrick452]

Its the same thing as eating a cheeseburger with fries in your lap...its all one handed.

Now for a real test, cross your legs and clutch with your right foot and accel and brake with the left....

[sherryberry]

my bf doesn't have a stick at the time but he tends to just drive w/ his knees.. i ca't do it.. i think i'm too short for it.. nor do i care to do it. I always have just one hand on the wheel anyway... and my other arm is just resting or somethin

[caveatipse]

I steer and shift with my ear.

Thats true! Ive had moments where I would be on the phone or eating some fast food and would change gears and drive with one hand...BUT you would NOT see me doing that in the middle of crazy rush hour traffic in a busy city.

[cdmyaris]

I steer and shift with my ear.

lol u got to show me!

[ArBoY]

been there.....


done that a lot of times and it´s pretty easy...

you don´t have to be a MIT student to do that...

[TrancosRt]

I do it occasionally, but try not to. It's not complicated, but I would rather keep my Yaris in a single piece and avoid stupid accidents...
