Driving safely on the roads.
 

Hi people,

I am 18 and have bought a new car. I want to follow traffic rules but as I am new I don’t have much idea about the rules and the awaiting dangers on the roads. Can anyone suggest me any plans or ways to be known of the ways on roads.

Just don't follow any advice given here and you will do fine.

I'll second that recommendation and suggest heading over to:

Those folks are experts in driving style and technique.

And you have a driver's license?:confused: Is it just me or is anyone else concerned about a statement like that?

IMHO, USA driver training is at best a bad joke but then that leads to USA auto practices in general . . .

Since the OP didn't identify a hybrid vehicle, I figured he (or she) was fishin' for driving techniques. So I figured to send them to the driving technique experts.

Hi ,
Congrats to you on the new wheels! But before you take the darling out, be sure to know about
the ways to safety and not ending up on the wrong side. I will advice you to check out a great site, trapster which alerts you every time there is a danger
lurking and saves you of the uninvited hang-ups.But remember “Troubles are often the tools by which God fashions us for better things”
Take care and always follow the rules.

This person is saying that he/she doesn't know traffic rules. In Calif., (and Illinois where I learned to drive years ago) the driving test would sort that out. In other words, how did you get your license without passing a written and on the street driving test?

So, my second question to you is: Is this a bogus question?

Of course it is.

You can get far on sex-appeal alone. Especially with southern state patrol.

Well, and interesting assessment from our Cdn friend. I get up to Tor about once a year. I've toured Ontario, Quebec and NB and BC to name several provinces.

Generally drivers treat cyclist ok, but riding a bike in Tor is tricky between dodging cars and streetcars, and hitting those tracks just so.

Montreal has just thrown away the rules of the road. Driving through stop signs is a way of life.

Don't think I can get away with a smile and wink - anywhere on this continent.
