I learned to drive in a small town. Difficult to imagine learning where there's real traffic.

Drivers Ed

Good lord

Was fortunate to be a rider in our group when one girl had no concept of power steering

She made a left hand turn and violently jerked the wheel back right to try to reset it and almost brought us all back into traffic

We all screamed .

I don’t think the poor girl drove the rest of the semester

You sir are teaching them wrong. The left lane on roads and hwys arent for instruction

The left lane is NOT a cruise lane.

Sorry but facts.

People seem absolutely unhinged on the road lately. It ain't that serious.

I've met OP a few times through his son and daughter-in-law. Nice man, good family.

Can you please teach those idiots that when pulled over, have their license, registration and insurance. When the cop asks for it, hand it over. STFU, take your ticket and go home. Fight it in court. You are not guaranteed a Sergeant or female cop.

Also stay the frick out of the left lane.

Literally the worst on the road. Too many loser men with egos tied up in their truck who drive like pissy little teenage boys on the road just to endanger everyone else with tailgaiting by inches on someone who has a vehicle right in front of them, and lane switching (swinging really) for inches. Just to arrive 17 seconds earlier at the risk of everyone else.

Id love a good truck, and i know theres plenty of fellas out there who own an f1/2/350 and drive like adults but theres a LOT of losers whos self worth is primarily tied to their vehicle and they drive that way as a result.

That’s why I love driving a sports car

I get to shut down their bad behavior

If you have a big "Student Driver" sign on your car, then why be an a-hole for people driving slow, etc

Because in Houston, they're usually Indians in their 40s using those magnets as an excuse to drive like total arse for years on end.

Are the use of turn signals still being taught? Seems like its use is becoming a rarity now days.

I have a friend in Charleston who is a TV camera guy for Channel 2. He often calls me during the day to kill time or whatever between assignments. He did today in fact. God is my witness every single time he bitches about traffic, lays on his horn and cusses other drivers.

He’s a good friend of over 40 years, he’s generally a good guy and I love him, but he has serious anger issues. I tell him, too. People go fricking crazy in their cars. I guess it’s depersonalizing and you act ways you ordinarily wouldn’t face to face. Road rage is a problem.

The older I get the mellower I’ve gotten about driving. I now try to leave with plenty of time to spare. I don’t have to pass this car to be somewhere 45 seconds sooner. Besides, you’ll get stopped by a red light and the car you just passed will catch up to you. It’s so stupid.

Don't be a dumbass. Left lane rules don't apply on roads that aren't controlled access.

That's not how it works in major metro areas. A single light can take 7-8 minutes to get through in order to get on I-10 that I drive through every day, because people aren't paying attention (Katy Mills Dr @ I-10 Southbound.)

The drivers that get onto I-10 (different intersection) from Cane Island Parkway in Katy are solely responsible for backing up traffic for 3-4 miles Eastbound at any time of day after about 0630 (slightly later on the weekends) through 9-10pm because they merge onto I-10 too slowly (there is probably about a 1/2 mile to accelerate on the frontage road.) They frick up the days of tens of thousands of drivers a day.

But you take your time pa.
