Easiest Way To Improve Driving Skills?

Is it easier if you use a certain car or what? I've been driving all
over the place for days and my driving skills meter has never gone
up...

It seems to take forever. Just keep driving.

Mind you my bike skills rose darn quick, OK I was pulling insane stunts
and wheelies and stoppies (the pier in LS is a great place for this).

Back to driving skills, in comparison it seems to take an age so too
often I use the NRG-500, guess I'm just a biker at heart.

that's about the size of it. i drive all round the outer egdes of the
island, get the longest straightest roads etc. Make sure not to ride a
bike instead as that's a separate skill

Same here! A bike is much more practical than a car, you can just zip
through any kind of traffic with ludicrous speed.

It seems that the driving skill increases quicker if you do a lot of
insanse stunts as well. Or go *really* fast (e.g. with the car at
Catalina's)

yep, I'm the same, you just get such a blast out of the bikes. I like
getting an offroad vehicle and going over hills and stuff but it does
take a long time for car skills to rise, almost as bad as flying!

I found mine going up anytime I was in a chase, so I get a few cops to chase
me and the skill goes up every few sharp turns you make.

I also noticed that my driving skill increased while running the Boat
school missions. So boats as well as cars are usefull.

I just wanted to get my driving skills up cause I wanted to check out
the racing at the arena...

I do use a motorcycle 95% of the time cause they seem faster and
easier in traffic...

Funny thing about the boats is I jumped into the lake by Angel Pines
and swam all the way back to Los Santos to get my breathing to max and
along the way... I kept seeing the speed boat being chased by the
Cops...

I prefer bikes, they improve your stamina and they go faster than traffic
and never explode.
