yep. I'm more interested in DISTANCE rather than how many vehicles.. I try to look "through" the vehicles directly in front of me rather than the one that is closesest. I drive at least 2000 feet in front of me even though I may be in only a 30 mph zone. I also try to "time" signals. if a light is green 2000 feet in front of me I'm probably gonna get "caught" on its red. oh, well it is what it is. however I may slow a bit and especially if its been green for quite a while. There's no sense in rushing up to a light that you KNOW you're gonna be stopping for anyway so get that foot off the accelerator you're only burning up kinetics that wears your brake pads & stuff that much quicker. I rarely use my brakes over about 20 mph... due to experienced traffic aware "timing". And because of this its rare that other traffic will be able to "stay with me" that are not doing the same thing and especially so in congested areas. why? Because its the "averaging" of traffic flow speed in this situation.

@gregrowe11687 ай бұрын
Sometimes you simply can’t prevent hitting them. Animals get scared and often don’t even look before crossing the road. It’s even worse during hunting season, they’re even more spooked than normal. Never swerve to miss them though. Slow down or brake if you can but trying to swerve is a bad idea. You may hit another car and a no fault animal collision becomes your fault. Or run off the road and cause more damage to your vehicle. Unless it’s a Rhinosaur, avoid hitting them at all costs. You’re just going to make it mad and it will be out for blood.

Winter mountain road. Snow on ground, whats the temperature? 28 deg with wet roads; expect invisible or black ice. DO NOT USE CRUISE CONTROL. Any up grade with ice will cause cruise control to spin you out uncontrollably. (Alaska driver) especially when entering fog. Icy roads are safer with much lower temperatures, 21 deg or less. Temperatures vary a lot with any change in elevation. Vehicle needs a good outside temperature guage.

I taught a female how to drive. she was 42 years old that had moved to West Palm Beach from NYC. She never drove and was terrified. And WPB has a LOT of traffic at least during "rush hour" when everybody goes nuts behind the wheel. The number one rule is this. When you get behind the wheel you DRIVE and that is ALL YOU DO! Driving takes experience thus its age related BUT one hasta learn PROPERLY from the getgo. I know 70 year olds that cannot drive for crap. but I know 20 year olds that practice excellent driving habits that the author explains in his videos. I don't agree with all of them but probably because I'm 80 years old and have driven millions of miles as a retired CDL driver. The things that cause the most fatals 1) Excessive speed for conditions 2) Illegal lane changes 3) Intersections 4) Substance abuse (impairment) 5) Cell phones 6) lack of vehicle maintenance 7) Lack of seat belt wear. Be patient. Drive "ahead" (situational awareness).

Great video and a beautiful landscape as well. Compared to the Autobahn, German trucks are much smaller. Usually not more than 40t. But the speed differences are quite bigger. While trucks allowed 50 mph on the Autobahn, cars drive often 80 or more. It is not unusual to get close on a truck on the right lane while someone on the left is driving 130 mph or more. So drivers who want to change the lane need to use the rear mirrors quite early and often to see how fast cars behind them close in.

I was coming back from the beach and it was dark and raining. I was on like a 4 lame wide interstate. I was trying to drive as safe as I could as the road was packed with cars and everyone practically was driving like 70 mph. So I put on my turn signal to merge in to an exit lane. I had my signal on for like 5 seconds before starting to merge. I didn't see any vehicles near by as I started to slowly merge. When I was like 2 feet over on the exit of the exit lane a car doing like 80 mph blows their horn as they rushed up behind me. I didn't see them as I was merging. I rushed back fully in to my lane as they rushed by. This person should've gotten a ticket for reckless driving as no one should be driving like 20 mph over the speed limit especially on an exit lane!

Your driving instructor, my friend, wasn't wrong. Yes, rear-wheel drive vehicles are more susceptible to losing traction on slippery conditions - especially pickup trucks. Of course, when you're driving, you take note of the weather conditions and the vehicle you're driving and its tires' condition. Most vehicles today are all-, front, or 4-wheel drive vehicles and provide great traction. If it's not raining too hard, or the roads are clear in the winter, you can use cruise. Practice CANCELLING the cruise my friend. On most vehicles, there's a cancel button on the steering wheel. And of course, touching the brake will cancel the cruise too, but just touch the brake pedal every so slightly. And if you're driving a manual car, the clutch will cancel the cruise. Drop us. note if you have further questions. Cheers Rick

Only thing I don’t entirely agree with is use of cruise control. In any adverse weather conditions such as rain or snow or limited visibility, cruise control should not be used. Cruise control gives you less total control of your vehicle. In many rural areas, wildlife routinely will dart out in front of you. I wouldn’t recommend using it in these situations either. If traffic is heavy, again not a good idea. Sunglasses would be a good idea to help with glare as well. Most people never think of using them.

theres only a few spots on the us interstate system that terrify me worse than being deployed to an active warzone. Chattanooga, Nashville and Atlanta. 8 lanes of semi trucks, locals, and passer-by's all not knowing where the hell they want to go or what lane they need to be in until the last 3 feet going 90mph.

Thanks for sharing these amazing tips. I am a new driver and do have some anxiety in driving on highways. How do you figure out the "right" right lane, as almost all the time in CA these meet at T points or exits and it is not always clear which right lane to take ? Other times, the lane just next to the rightmost lane as traffic merging all the time and makes it harder to stay at a steady speed
