Ok you just got your license in Texas and live near San Antonio. Here is a question. What is that little lever behind the steering wheel on the left side and what does it do?

Steering wheel adjustor?  Or ejection seat.

Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:

I heard it controls these magical devices called "wipers"

I've never had to use them though, and as far as most of us are concerned it's just urban legend as to what those things do.

Being a motorcyclist for the past 30 years I have heard this a lot, I was fortunate enough to be taught roadcraft by a great instructor who kept me interested and coming back to more advanced courses, To this day I haven't hit anything else, I have had a few low speed "fall offs" in loose stuff and stacked it big time on the race track but no other vehicle has ever caused me a problem. We call it SA in aces high, on the streets of the real world its roadcraft. It really is all up to you, take care young man and drive with your good head on.

Thought I'd give you guys fair warning that I got my drivers license today.

Just stay off the sidewalks, you'll be fine.
Good luck Tupac . If you are like me when I was your age , your going to need it . Got my first car a week after I got my license and got a glove box full of ticket's in a week , lol .

That pretty much confirms what most of the folks in Texas seem to think it is too. One of the reasons I hate Texas drivers. Intelligence it seems is not required for the license.

Was at the DMV today, had to take a renewal test (last took one over ten years ago), I think it was 36 questions, only got one wrong (aparently you can use a non hands-free cell phone while driving during an emergency situation... I'm sure somewhere else in the book they tell you to pull over and stop the vehicle in the event of an emergency, but whatever, it's their test *shrug*).
