Braille Driving

The art of driving totally by feel.

If someone is reversing out of a driveway and scrapes the whole length of the car along the fence they are said to be 'braille driving'.

Other examples are reversing in to posts or poles - once the driver hits the pole they know to stop.

Braille driving while parallel parking is achieved by running the tyres along the kerb or bumping in to the car behind or in front.

Any sort of driving that involves putting scrapes, dings, dents or bingles on the vehicle is considered to be braille driving.

Anything larger than a scrape, ding, dent or bingle is known as 'Advanced Braille Driving'.
"What are all those dings in your car"?

"I have been practising my braille driving"

Driving Braille 

When in a car with someone else driving, and the driver starts driving over the bumps on the lane divider, you can yell out "Driving Braille!", in an indication that he is driving over the bumps, creating a rapid bump bump bump noise.

(Braille is the bumpy writing that vision-impaired people use to read)
John is driving back from a late concert through semi-windy roads with Jill in the passenger seat, John starts driving over the lane divider which causes the car to mildly vibrate and a rapid bump bump sound to start.

Jill: "Driving Braille much?"
John: "Shuttup I'm tired"
