note to self: do not ask "what would Shepard do?" while driving

...and why not? [He's more than happy to offer driving tips!]

You'll still be a better driver then James.

[wellbangokay]

I don't make a habit out of crashing shuttles.

The probability of the mundane user making a 'split-second' decision is at 50%.

It is to my understanding that driving a motor vehicle is an unpredictable experience in itself, the added 50/50 chance only adds to it's instability.

In short: they have a higher chance of making a...'rash decision', Commander.

[wellbangokay]

There's always a danger to driving. One just needs to be careful. [LOLOLOL LIKE THIS GUY HERE]

[isthenormandy]

[ HAHA, PRECISELY. EDI will just let that fly like it isn't a syntax or paradox at all. ]

To my knowledge it is commonly believed that practice along with extreme caution is what prevents most accidents concerning motor vehicles.

[opticshots]

Do you really have to ask, Shepard?

[wellbangokay]

...all right - but those were during missions. Off-duty, my record's clean. [Sure. And Kai Leng became the Pope.]

[opticshots]

I am not entirely sure I believe you.

[Which means you're a cheap liar, commander, and she sees right through you. She was sick enough in the Mako to be certain.]

[wellbangokay]

[Okay he knows that he's out of practice with proper driving but it's not like he was horrible, right? He doesn't say anything, mind in deep thought and hey can you make a left on red?]

[opticshots]

[She just watches him for a moment, before patting his arm reassuringly.]

It's okay, Shepard. You're good at other things.

[wellbangokay]

I know the difference between running over a geth armature and running over an innocent bystander. [ALTHOUGHBOTHCANSOMETIMESGETINTHEWAY...]

[opticshots]

Knowing the difference and being able to avoid the things you don't want to be running over are still different things. I know the Mako wasn't the easiest thing to handle, but you don't have an excuse for anything else anyone foolishly gives you to drive.

[wellbangokay]

You're breaking my heart, Tali. [He says sarcastically, but with good humor. His sweet, innocent heart that gets let out only when he is put behind the wheel.]

[opticshots]

You'll be fine, I promise. [It's just far too easy to keep taking gentle digs at him, and she's far too fond of it at this point to give it up.] Isn't it more fun just to... sit back and enjoy the scenery, anyway? And it's easier to shoot if you're not driving. Bonus!
