RE: New danger on the roads

Yeah I have one.....

RUN!!!!!! EVERYONE OFF THE ROAD!!! WERE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

Joking.

One tip pay attention to whats going on around you. Wrecks aren't fun I've been in one. Like they say the most dangerous thing about driving is you yourself. YOu'll do fine, my test was easy I just talked to the Officer the entire time about Batman.

RE: New danger on the roads

1) Concentrate on driving. Don't let yourself be distracted by the radio, people in the car, or anything else not important. That includes eating and drinking while you're driving. Don't let that pretty girl in the passenger seat distract you either. I know that happens to me a lot... :P

2) Be courteous to other drivers on the road; one day you'll be the guy who wants to be let into the traffic when no one will let him in. Road rage doesn't get anyone anywhere.

3) Obey the two-second rule. Make it at least four seconds when its bad weather. Even when you learn your car and get used to it, you'll lose control once in a while. Better safe than sorry.

RE: New danger on the roads

The biggest piece of advise I can give....

TAKE YOUR TIME!

This is not a toy you're playing with...it's a weapon, that can kill.

Don't be in a rush to get on the road. Prepare first, get in the right mindset to drive. Don't rush through anything. Make sure to get comfortable with everything that you're taught.

PSA: Remember, driving is a privilege, not a right...treat it as such

RE: New danger on the roads

The two second rule bascally means a time of reaction. When I wrecked the car in front of me hydroplaned. Within two seconds I reacted I turn the wheel really fast to the left and this happened....

well go in my profile and look at my pics and if a Admin that knows how to post a pic put in here for me thank you...

Hope this came out right.
But dude be careful seconds is all it takes.

RE: New danger on the roads

The two second rule is this:

Find a point of focus that's not in motion (a roadsign or mailbox or whatever...as long as its sitting still). When the car in front of you passes it, start counting (one-one thousand, two-one thousand...); you should be at least 2 seconds behind the car in front of you. When its raining or wet out, I up it to 4 seconds. If its snowing, I make it at least 6. The reason you do this is because the average person takes two seconds to react to what's going on in front of them. The two-second rule gives you time to hit the brakes, turn the wheel, or do whatever you have to do to react. I learned this when I was 16, and I still use it to this day.
