Question: What is a good golf driver for a resonable price? I am starting to golf and am in need of a driver. The driver that i have now is not accurate at all. I hook them very badly. Whenever i hit with one of my friends drivers they go pretty straight. If you could tell me a good driver that will make the ball go straight and far. Im looking for accuracy over distance. I would like the club to be around $100-$200 dollers. Thank you.

Answer: Go to your local Dick's Sports store. They have last years drivers for $200 or less (new). Check out the Cobra Speed, Callaway Big Bertha 460 and Taylor Made r7 draw and r5 draw drivers. Nike Sasquatch/Sumo is also a good one. Avoid Walter Hagen (junk), Titleist (designed for skilled golfers) and the Cleveland HiBore (odd looking/sounding). Also Dick's Sports have a PGA professional on site. Ask him/her for their opinion if you need extra help.

Question: Continuing driver's training: what would be a good way to start? Most drivers think they know it all after they pass their license test; OBVIOUSLY, THEY DON'T. Can anyone suggest a way to provide a brush-up lesson that the average driver would pay attention to & learn from?

Answer: You are way ahead of the pack on this one. I mean, c'mon. I know the rules and the road signs and what foot to put on what pedal. What more is there to know than that?? Sound familiar? I think most of us who have been around for a while have had to take remedial driver's ed. at some point. It is usually required by a court. lol These sessions review the state mandated material that we all had to know to get our licenses in the beginning. To keep us from falling asleep, the re-schools try to be funny or you can even take it on line. But none of these programs really point a finger at the primary cause of driving problems. We think that driving under the unfluence is bad, but there are 7 influences that can really mess us up. I'm told that I have the safest vehicle on the road, but that is a lie. I could go on at length here but can't. So if you would be interested in a program I have put together on the subject, feel free to drop me a line. All the best.

Question: What is the largest driver club head a pro can use? There is a definite difference when hitting a driver with a oversized head. One time last year I used my sons' driver which is oversized and connected for a 275 yd drive. I average around 190-225 with my own driver but I'll be buying a new one this year.

Answer: It is still limited to 460 cc in volume, but manufacturers have to also conform to USGA's ruling on the permissible 'coefficient of restitution' for the club head face, so as not to have too much of a 'trampoline effect' upon impact with the ball. Otherwise the 460 cc can be done in any shape or manner for aesthetic other than technical reasons.

Question: How would you make Driver Education classes more interesting? I teach driver education and I want to know if you had a favorite part of driver education. Do you remember anything in particular that you really liked, or really disliked? If you was teaching driver education, what would you do to keep the students attention?

Answer: Well I am 16 and just recently got my lisence. My favorite part of driver's ed, was when our teacher brought in beer goggles. He made us wear them and do different tasks such as walking a straight line, catching a tennis ball, pouring water into a cup, etc. It was really fun and interesting, yet still got the point across of how drinking will affect driving.

Question: Where can i get a driver updater program that is actually FREE? Where can i get driver updater software that is actually FREE? I'm looking for one program to update all drivers on my computer. I've tried several programs that advertise themselves as "free" then require you to pay to actually download the drivers.

Answer: did you try windows update then do a custom scan so as to show updated drivers for software?

Question: What is the best golf driver out on the market now that i isnt ridiculously expensive? i spend hours looking at reviews for golf clubs, but what i need is a driver which i can get some decent consistency with and not TOO concerned about length. i play off 7 and finding the right driver for me would be the next step down i guess... any possible driver suggestions?

Answer: Just depends on club/shaft combination as well. The straightest for me so far has been the Taylormade R7 425 TP, but the TP is expensive. The regular Taylormade R7425 is only like 225$ on ebay now. I have one with a USTV2 shaft, which is great. Also, for accuracy purposes, I would look at the Callaway FTI series. Those were very accurate, especially with the Mitsubishi Diamana shafts. Go to your local golf store and try out some different club/shaft combo's if possible. Once you find what you want, try looking on ebay for great deals. Hope this helps...

Question: What driver habits or mistakes irritate you the most? I am doing a survey for my Driver's Ed Class. What annoys you the most when you are driving. ALSO what techniques do you use to avoid road rage. Please include age, type of car, and years of experience driving. Thank you!

Answer: I am twenty-four, I have a Mistubishi Galant, I've been driving since I was sixteen, and I HATE when people ride my rear bumper. Just go the heck around me if you're in such an all-fire hurry. And I fight my road rage by waving to the people who flip me off.

Question: How do I download drivers once Driver Detective reveals I need them? I installed Driver Detective to find out if my drivers were ok or needed to be updated. It showed I need 14 updated... But I don't know how to update. If it lists the drivers I cannot find the list. It only shows the number in need and status of some. But does not say what the driver name is or where to get it updated or how.

Answer: That driver detective is good for the garbage and a rip-off. Go in your Device manager and go through each device to see if their is an exclamation mark on any drivers you might need. If not, you can still update each driver individually by clickin on 'Update Driver'. If your computer was working fine, disregard Detective. They want money and often, they change the settings so that you need to purchase . I thing they got a little thing going there with different driver companies.

Question: What causes driver education teachers to be so impatient and yell at learners? Could they really be expecting students to learn instantly? Do they not realize that students HAVE to make mistakes in order to improve? Why are so many driver ed teachers so verbally aggressive with nervous students who are trying to learn?

Answer: Well, it's probably their way of coping with their job...an incessant facial twitch doesn't instill much confidence in their students, either :-) Please understand - it can be scary as all get-out getting in the passenger seat with a constant line of teenagers that could get in an accident at any moment. I can remember my driver's ed teacher, he had a brake on the passenger side as well, and unconsciously slammed it on whenever he got nervous, lol. Not fun when you're trying to cross a busy intersection! They do realize you have to make mistakes, it's just a high stress job. The good thing is, once you pass the class, you never have to see them again :-)

Question: How to install downloaded driver from the Internet? There is no executable file? I've downloaded drivers from Internet driver archive. However, there's always no executable file for installing. There are only files with the tails of *.ex_ *.da_ *.dl_ Do I have to install any extra-software to execute these files? Thanks a lot !

Answer: Once you download these drivers extract them then go to device manager and manually install. Find the device you want to install the drivers for (if you're not updating the drivers and have no drivers installed for it you may see a yellow exclamation mark beside it). Right click choose to update driver, browse choose the location that you've extracted the driver to.

Question: What are the possible charges a car driver could get for causing an accident? A car driver hits a person riding a motorcycle. The driver of the car was not watching the road and has admitted it. The driver caused grievous bodily harm. What could they get nabbed with?

Answer: I had a friend who was the motorcycle in this scenario. The driver was charged with nothing and he wasn't able to sue her, he has over $100,000 in medical bills, lost most of his pension and almost lost his job. She was actually working at the time of the wreck, she is off scott free and he is going to suffer financially and physically for the rest of his life.
