Proper driving is unknown to the numbskull.

Comment:
It seems little is known to the
average American driver about safe efficient courteous and common sense proper driving.

USE
YOUR
TURN SIGNAL
 

Potholes?
Read what this Wyoming town is doing to speed up much desired repairs.
HERE

1) Why were parts of route 2 in Lake County Ohio not on the road repair list? They left a mile or two of bumpy potholed filled road. Totally ridiculous. Whoever made the decision on that one needs a brain. It's a dangerous ride with drivers weaving to avoid the holes. And it's shaking my car apart again.

What is the primary reason we drive automobiles?
To get from one place to another of course.

Turn Signals?
That little stick, hanging out of the left side of the steering column? Do you know what it's there for? It just so happens to be there so you can signal other drivers just where the heck you're going. Proper driving practice is using your turn signal for everything like turning left or turning right or changing lanes etc. Use your turn signal. It comes standard on all vehicles. Duh, come on use your brain, signal every time that you are going to change your direction of travel.
 But do it right! ...turn it on before touching your brakes when turning.

Yield?
If you can read English you'll see that this sign says YIELD. You should also realize that it does not say STOP or GIMMEE A BREAK. It means that the drivers that do not have this sign have the right of way and you must let them go first and YIELD to them. You know, YIELD? Look it up.
 Freeway drivers: Do not slow down for people who are entering the highway to give them a break. They have a yield sign (duh, see above). You endanger all drivers behind you when you slow down to give someone a break. Don't be stupid. Don't kill anyone.

Solid white lines near intersection?
Why are there solid white lines marking the lanes approaching intersections? The lines are telling you you cannot change lanes anymore until you get through to the other side of the intersection. Know where you're going. If you got in the wrong lane, oh well, bad move. Just go across and turn around somewhere safely without holding up my commute or endangering anyone with any wild lane changing maneuvers.
Don't be a jerk! Learn to drive properly.

Thick white solid line at traffic light?
I wonder if everyone knows what that thick white solid line means at a traffic light? Well when the light is red, your front bumper is not supposed to go past it (not your front tires) until the light turns green. One of these days I'm going to just chunk off the front corner of someone's car who has almost blocked the intersection because their light turned red again. If you go past the line and the light turns red, GO, please go, get out of the way. Traffic is supposed to flow

Want to give someone a break?
It sure is sweet of you to give someone a break, like letting them out of a driveway or something or on to the highway. But do not hold up people behind you while you're doing it. You think you're being nice?  Let me tell you, everyone behind you is wishing they had the rocket launcher accessory to blow you into the ravine and out of the way.
 You're holding up traffic doing this. Traffic is supposed to flow.

Using Your Bright Lights? (high beams)
When should you use your bright lights? Well first of all, it should be at night when it's dark. duh. And only when there are no other cars around. Getting hit in the eyes with someone's high beams kind of hurts and really impairs your night vision.
 Remember this rule: If you can see another car's lights anywhere, (their front, side or back lights) turn your high beams off. Don't scorch retinas. We need them to drive.

Rear view mirror?
And not a vanity mirror for putting on makeup or checking for spinach in your teeth. Drivers should look in it to see what's going on behind and around you.
Very important. Use your rear view mirror! It has a driving purpose!

Waiting to turn left under a green light?
Yes do pull up into the intersection so when the light starts to turn red again you can then turn left. Yes, even after it turns red, turn!
I think some idiots would just sit there at the white line all day, light after light. You know what I mean?

You Drive Properly?
 

What do you think could help America's driving problems?
See Comments here

1) Why do they build roads with the sewer lids placed right in the driving lanes where your wheels drive over?
Can't they move them over a foot or two?

2) Why don't people use their turn signals?

3) Why is proper driving not a priority in this country?

If You Didn't Know:
When approaching an intersection:

Try to enter the correct lane for your intended action well in advance of reaching an intersection.
Be sure to signal before changing lanes.
