And I don't want to hear the obvious (slow down, get a radar detector, etc.) but just some little tricks that not everyone may know about, like certain types of roads or conditions)

I am about to begin driving soon and one of my biggest fears once I am out on the roads is being injured or killed in a car crash. My friend tells me as long as I remain vigilant on the road, watch out for dangerous drivers, and don't drive fastly then there will be nothing for me to worry about, and that I will be safe. Do you think that my friend is right?

Why do you speed up and slow down for no apparent reason? Can't you just pick a speed and drive it?

Why do you accelerate when I try to pass you?

Why do you put your turn signal on only after you start making your turn?

Why are you in the left lane?

Why do you keep your foot on the gas even though there's a red light ahead and you'll have to brake soon?

Why do you drive with one foot on the gas and one on the brake? Don't you realize that a vehicle with its brake lights on all the time is the same as one with no brake lights?

Why do you speed up in the passing zone, then slow down in the no passing zone?

Do you use your brain when driving, or just emotion?

What about the safety issue?

I know these are for gathering traffic flow data but in particular: Many times you see 1 cord, other times you see 2. Is 1 for only counting the cars? Is the 2 cords for speed data and count? Doesn't seem like speed data could be derived from one very acturately. Anything else I haven't mentioned?

I just recently received my permit, and have had my first lesson. I plan on going to my second lesson to make sure I know the basics of moving around in the busy streets of LA.

Problem is, however, that I most likely will not be ready to be driving around like everybody else without being some kind of hazard. I want to practice my driving skills while still being safe and not being a hazard to others.

Any good tips on how to practice? Thanks!

Driving on the left is correct for right-handed people the great majority, here is why:
When changing gear in a UK car with the steering wheel on the right , this is of course correct in the UK etc for driving on the left--------your left hand changes gear and your right hand stays on the steering wheel, (this is safer for right handed people.)
In the USA you hold the steering wheel with your left hand and change gear with your right hand because of course the steering wheel is on the left in the USA--------this is dangerous if you are right handed.
Bicycles: Try mounting a bike in the USA and you will find yourself in the stream of traffic when getting on the bike-- try it yourself- Mounting a bike in the UK is done from the sidewalk by right handed people who find it easier to put their right leg over the bike
Reversing up a steep drive------when I reverse out I hold the steering wheel with my right hand and look over my left shoulder to the rear window. In a USA car you must hold the steering wheel with your left hand and look over your right shoulder to look out of the rear window.. So you must reverse with your left hand on the steering wheel.. Or stick your head out of the window if you want to use your right hand on the steering wheel. ---Dangerous for the 82% right handed majority.
Right handed people who are also "right eyed" have the traffic coming toward them on their right in left hand driving areas , which is the way "right eyed" people are able to react better. When overtaking on a right hand driving USA road the right eyed/handed driver looks in the mirror with the left eye and also views the oncoming traffic with the left eye

My friend was stopped at a red traffic light. When the light turned green she pressed on the accelerator a bit too hard and so her tires squealed under her car. She immediately corrected the situation and never drove in a dangerous way, she sped up to 55 (the speed limit on this road) at a normal pace but a cop pulled her over and gave her a ticket for reckless driving. Was the cop in the right or was he just trying to meet his quota?

Ok, so I know cops can catch you speeding by sitting on the side of the road with their radar gun, but can they catch you while they are driving? For example, you're on the freeway going north, and a cop passes you going south, can he/she tell how fast you are going? Also, if you and the cop are going the same direction (the cop is behind you)?

Ok, i'm 16 years old and everyone knows that when you turn 16 you want to learn how to drive. But everytime I think that i'm ready to drive, i hear about somebody around my age died in a car accident because they didn't know what they were doing. So i'm asking, when do you think is the right time to start learning how to drive?

If tires were made of lead, car and truck rollovers would be almost non-existent. Why has no one thought of this yet?

People die everyday on the roads because of people who speed, turn/change lanes without using their signal, and just plane drive recklessly. It really pisses me off. Do you think it's our culture to continue to be selfish and disrespectful to safety or do you think the police are too lenient?

A vehicle is a lethal weapon. People need to be more mature and attentive when handling one.

Every time I see a reckless driver being disrespectful to traffic laws, I fantasize about shooting them for the sake of making the world a safer place.
