It's not like it would be fair of anyone to say I was the WORST driver in the world, but I certainly wasn't the best. I think my biggest problem with driving was not the technique or know how per se, but the confidence. So when my boyfriend told me about the racing game on line Formula Fog, I looked at him like he was a bit mad. "I don't really think that will be up my street now do you?" I retorted. But he was insistent. At least that I try it. "Come on," he said, "you can play it for free and it's one of the cool flash games using the fast and furious software. I think you'll like it." Pretty much to pacify him, I tried it. And I haven't looked back since.
Formula Fog is a fast, fun 3D animated flash game in which you have to race against another car. You can be either the red or blue car. And because you're not really on the road, it's not scary. And because it's not scary, for me I get more confidence. And the more confidence I get with Formula Fog, the more confident I actually feel when I go out driving. It's not like I race now when I go out driving, but I do feel better able to control the car more and hence I feel more confident. Interestingly the more I play Formula Fog (even when I don't win), the less I worry about taking the car out.
I have to admit that Formula Fog wasn't so easy at first. I kept careering off the road! So I played it without the sound so I could concentrate more. But the more accustomed I got to this racing game, the better I could control the car and the more exciting it got and then I loved the music and went faster and faster around the laps. What I basically came to realize was, that my movements had to be far more gradual. I had to make sure that I wasn't pushing too much to the right or the left and then I stayed on track much more easily. And then i was able to go really fast and really race the other car and boy did I enjoy it!
