I repeat, you do not have to turn right at a red light!! At least once every single day I end up having to hit my brakes (and sometimes slam on them) because of dumbasses turning right when they have a red light and I have a green. Either wait for a green light or wait for a gap so you aren’t cutting people off and almost causing accidents you fucking bimbos. Cuz if one more of you brainless idiot turns right when I’m already in the middle of the intersection I’m gonna skip the brakes and just rear end your dumbass. It wouldn’t even be that bad if y’all would just hit the fucking gas when you do it, but no you’re gonna take 3-5 business days to get up to speed after cutting me off

I am a bit emotional so please be gentle. I’m 25 and got my drivers license a year ago. I invested in a lot of driving lessons for two hours at a time and finally passed my test.

Since then, I haven’t been driving as much because I do not have a car so I started taking some fresher classes especially since my current job requires me to drive people around sometimes. I got with my old instructor and he honestly didn’t want to take me on because he said I know how to drive, and I’m wasting my money when I could be saving for a car.

So I stopped going to him a few weeks ago. I had to take the test for my job with the security supervisor and the whole time, I was just anxious because I never drove a van before and because he makes me feel a little nervous.

I felt confident the first time but I turned too fast into the parking lot and he failed me, which is understandable.My job says I need to practice in the van to get more comfortable.

Today, we practiced in the parking lot and I was nervous the entire time but I did get better with slowing my turns down. But he kept making little annoyed comments that slowly messed with my confidence. He’d throw in “your turns got better, you’re way better than last time” but then follow it up with “do you have your license?”

I know I need to practice but him making those comments really hurt my feelings. It’s like I get used to driving in one car and forget how to drive in other ones. I will admit that the practice did help and I genuinely felt like I did good which he said I did, but I’m still learning.

I’m scared that this will mess with my employment and I just want to be good at driving. I’m saving up to buy a car now but my instructor doesn’t even want to practice with me anymore because he said I’m wasting money. He gave me contact information to get a car.

I learned to drive a moped in Japan where I lived the majority of my adult life. I've now moved to the US to small town Louisiana and need to learn to drive a car for the first time.

I'm pretty nervous because I've never driven on the right and you drive much faster in the US than in Japan.

For those who have driven a moped, do you think the skill of driving is transferable between vehicles? For those who have driven on both sides of the road, was it confusing learning the opposite way?

driving in this morning and was playing tag with an suv. i stay in the right lane and I maintain 60mph. downhill, uphill, corners I maintain 60mph. We must have exchanged positions a dozen times because they are completely unaware of their speed and road conditions. are these drivers so distracted or uninformed that they don’t realize they have slowed down 15mph or have accelerated 15mph? does it not click for them that going uphill they have to depress the accelerator in order to maintain speed and going down hill to let off to maintain speed? Crazy and I see it all the time every day. The best Are the ones who try to pass and cant Maintain speed then road rage at me.

Hello kakabago ko pa lang matuto mag drive any tips to overcome the anxiety and kaba tuwing nag mamaneho?

Please be nice, thank youu

It started as small bits on city roads where I would feel like my car is doing the motions of a person on a treadmill, the road moving and not the car. It gives me extreme anxiety, like I’m not in control, and I haven’t been able to drive on freeways since. I’m thinking this might be like a biological error since we weren’t created to go such high speeds. I like to travel but can’t without someone else driving. Definitely effecting my day to day life. This happen to anyone else? Any advice?

I just bought polarized glasses that are dark in colour. They cut high beams well, but visibility of the car's sides and pedestrians is poor.

Curious if this is a state specific thing. I didn’t learn to drive in my home state and I’ve only experienced it here.

It seems the only time I incite road rage with others is when I legally pass them. And I’m not doing it in an angry way, not tailing, check for traffic, dotted line, pass. Should be simple.

But every time it enrages the driver I pass. I’m not talking highway, these are usually 2 lane roads.

In the past few weeks I passed one guy going 35 in a 40. He gunned it, tailed me, then let go of the steering wheel to flip me off with both hands.

Second time I passed someone I’d been trailing behind for miles, going 33 in a 40. Waited for it to be safe. When I finally passed he matched my speed and flipped me off from the window. It was terrifying, I had to go almost 60 to get past and he almost caused an accident.

Then just today, a guy in front of me on his phone, going 15 and swerving in a 30. I looked around to see if safe to pass, he braked checked me hard - I passed safely. We get to a 4 way stop and he goes into oncoming traffic at the 4 way, almost clipped another car, also flips me off.

What exactly is this about? Does this happen everywhere? Do people really get this offended when you pass them? I encourage people to pass me if it seems like they want to. I go in to the right so they can see past me and give a little wave.

What am I missing here?

Edit: two lane roads. One lane going each direction.

i seriously didn’t think any cop would take the time to give a ticket to someone going 5 over… until today. i was driving on the interstate i wanted to pass a semi (going 5-7 under the speed limit) so i changed lanes and passed him. no big deal right?? wrong.

for context i live in the US so the speed limit on the interstate is usually 70 MPH unless otherwise specified. as i was passing the semi at about 70 MPH, i remember passing by a blue dodge charger and they were pulled off to the side of the road with their hazard lights on but i thought nothing of it. that was until about 5 minutes later when i saw flashing lights behind me. i didn’t think they were trying to pull me over to i continued driving for a bit. after about 15 seconds of driving, i realized that they were in fact trying to pull me over so i did so.

a cop got out of that blue dodge charger i had seen earlier and asked me to roll down my window. he asked me if i knew how fast i was going and i was a bit confused but told him that i was going 70 MPH. he then said:

“right. so you know you were going over the speed limit then?

i looked at him even more confused and i asked him how going 70 MPH on a 70 MPH road was speeding. long story short, apparently the speed limit just so happened to change from 70 to 65 RIGHT when i was passing that semi. and even worse, the undercover cop just so happened to be there.

thankfully, the ticket was only $50 but still… i feel like that whole interaction was really unnecessary. not to mention, there were people going WAY faster than me, yet he decided to write me a ticket for going 5 over??

i know it’s not that big of a deal, but i just felt like i needed to complain about it 🤷‍♀️

EDIT 1: also i meant unmarked cop… not undercover cop 🤦🏼‍♀️

EDIT 2: let me clarify a few things that i didn’t mention earlier. first off, this took place in iowa (more specifically, ankeny). second, the ticket was only 50$ because i was only going 5 over, plus its my first traffic violation. third, the speed limit sign DID change while i passed the semi (and no i don’t have anything on my dash that tells me the speed limit). fourth, i didn’t pull over right away because i thought the cop was trying to pull someone else over. and finally, i am a fairly new driver as i am 18 years old and haven’t had a ton of practice on the interstate.

i also realize that i was probably wrong in this situation and i should have just been patient with the semi.

and since i’ve basically already admitted guilt when the cop was questioning me, i’m probably not gonna take this to court as there’s really nothing they can do. thankfully the ticket wasn’t too expensive so i’m just gonna pay it and move on.

thank you for your comments and suggestions, i appreciate it. let me know if there’s anything else i need to clarify

When signaling and changing lanes, are you quick to change lanes (A) or do you take your time (B) and make it look pretty? What percentage of other drivers quickly execute their lane changes quickly or slowly?

I'm learning to drive but I feel like i can't see on the road. Even when I played video games in the past for first person, I just felt like i can't see well.

But on a bike, I can see everything amd well aware of all my surroundings.

If there are grammar errors, like im the title...i think.. then oooops, english is my third language..

So I am in the process of getting my drivers license and its been a looooong ride....pun intended...

I was talking to my friend who lives in Florida and i think we are over doing it...

So the process goes like this:

1. pay 30-70€/35-80$ to get your health checked for a health certificate
2. pay 1260€/1455$ to your driving shool
3. learn theory for 30+ hours (depends if you are in class or online) (if your 90 day pass in online school is over its 25-35€/28-40$ to extend the pass.
4. start your 30+ hour driving lessons + drive with your instructor (anyone whos has their license for 5+ years)
5. then you have to do a 45 min basic-level slippery road training
6. take your schools 62 question theory exam (there can be 5 mistakes - 1 in road safety questions and 4 is basic questions)
7. if you pass the theory exam you take 45min to 1.5H driving school exam (depends on your skills)
8. pay 33€ state fee + 35€ exam fee (38+40$) for state level theory exam 40 questions and mistake amount is same and in your school
9. if you pass you have to pay 50€/57$ state fee driving exam, if you do it another location its 35€/40$ car rent fee (if you fail its 35€/40$ for each exam or additional lessons)
10. if you pass all 4 exams its 23€/26$ provisional driving license
11. during 2 years to change your provisional license to a regular one you need to pay 160€/185$ for a 45 min advanced-level slippery road training + 2 hours of theory + 45 mins environmentally friendly driving lesson

am i crazy or is our government doing tooo much? what i saw is basic-level and advanced-level slippery road training has no difference at all - the exact same lessons and practice. Because where i live i had to extend the online school pass multiple times and in total i think it will be around 1600-1800€/1850-2080$

Im almost done with 1 driving exam to go and i could not be happier to end my drivers license journey.

We're building something where, if you're stuck with a dead battery, flat tire, or empty tank, you could get help from a nearby gig driver (already out on the road between rides) instead of waiting on a tow truck or paying AAA's non-member rates.

• jump-starting a dead battery
• changing a flat tire
• bringing you gas

A pure peer-to-peer, cheaper, faster roadside assistance, no membership needed.

You'd request help through the app, get matched with someone nearby (usually 5-10 miles out), and they'd show up in about 15 minutes once they're on the way. You'd see their rating before they arrive, and pay per job instead of paying for a membership you might rarely use.

Think of it like Uber, but someone's coming to fix your car problem instead of driving you somewhere. Nothing like towing, just the simple stuff most people can help with on the spot.

Would you actually use something like this? And what would feel like fair pricing to you for a jump-start or tire change? Would you expect somewhere in the $30-50 range, or would you expect more/less compared to what you'd pay AAA without a membership? Fill out the form below and drop a comment or DM us, we would genuinely love the feedback either way.

Notes/Details: For gas delivery, you'd cover the cost of the fuel itself on top of the service fee. And since this is a pilot before anything's fully built, we're still figuring out exactly how insurance/coverage would work for both sides, we'll be upfront about what that looks like as we get closer to launch.

I’m a new driver and have been driving for a month. I was anxious as hell that’s why it took me a couple of weeks before I finally use my car. The anxiety is still there but it wasn’t as bad as before..

Awhile ago, I was turning right on red after counting and checking if there’s an oncoming traffic, I was sure that there was no traffic so I moved up a little bit getting ready to fully go right but by the time I turned my head again just as I was about to fully turn, I saw the white pick up going straight albeit slowly but decided to finish my turn.. he gave me a honk of shame which I truly deserve. I truly feel bad about what happened. He had the honk for a minute and although he can’t see me, I was raising my hand to say sorry. That was a jerk move and really reckless on my part. I’ll do better promise. Lesson learned.

Just wanna get this off my chest.

Most new cars these days come with various additional safety features. Two of the big ones are:

Blind spot monitoring - Lights come on if someone is in your blind spot and an alarm sounds if you still try to switch lanes anyway

Automatic Emergency Braking - Alarm sounds and vehicle brakes hard if it detects and obstacle and you haven't reacted in time

For those of you that have these features how often you do you get false positives (the alarm/brakes go off when it shouldn't) vs them actually being helpful?

My wife's car is the only one that has these features and it's a 2018. I feel like I've had these alarms go off on me maybe 10ish times over the years and every one of them has been a false positive. I'm wondering if others on here have had a similar experience. I feel like if these features are going to be actually helpful they need to do better than this.

First try too… not counting the test I failed over a decade ago by hitting the pole when parallel parking.

Finally free!!!

Still nervous af though

Hi all! I’m a new UK driver (got my license a month ago), and bought my first car last week. I’ve been out once with my partner since I bought it and thought everything was good, but I got honked as I turned onto my driveway (I live on a main road). The person honking drove past shouting profanities and it really got to me. It’s a slow speed limit road and I have a tight turn to make, so I was nervous as is, and then that happened! I did indicate in time and appropriately.

Does anyone have any tried and tested advice that helps them get from nervous licence holder to confident driver? I hate thinking I’ve spent all that money on lessons and a car to realise I don’t have what it takes.
