How to Drive on the Highway | Driving Lessons

[@m7md_m7md]

Whenever you feel drowsy while driving, park your vehicle immediately at a safe spot, lock your doors, crack a window, set your alarm if needed and take a quick nap. Never fight back drowsiness.

[@Lost-mb1gj]

PERIOD 🗣

[@bigboat8329]

cap, i drive drowsy on long hauls on the regular and you can usually fight it away in 25-30 minutes 🙏🙏

[@manie3232]

True. I do notice the times I've made mistakes that could've got me in an accident I was a little drowsy. It doesn't take much as safe driving takes a lot of constant attention and good fast decision making.

[@ryans413]

The highway is the worse for this because your going at one speed for a long time not really braking or changing lanes. I see how people fall asleep on the highways.

[@refresh77]

Yes, even 15 minute nap helps! They say drowsy driving is as dangerous as drunken driving!

[@skm_milk9247]

1. Use the merge lane to build speed in order to merge without affecting traffic 2. Drive in the middle lane in order to avoid the passing lane on the left and the merging cars from the right.

[@randomjunk1254]

Left lane is for fast travel/passing, Mid lane is for normal speed , and the Right lane is for slow drivers/cars.

Left Lane is for *passing only* On a 2 lane highway, you should drive on the right lane and pass of the left. Once you passed, get right back in the right. If you see a car wanting to merge onto the highway on the ramp, merge to the left lane to let them safely merge in the highway, once it's all clear, get right back in the right lane. Varying in some justifications, if you see a cop pulled over on the right shoulder, merge towards the left lane and once you pass the cop, get right back in the right lane. If you are unable to merge left, which you should, slow down! On 3+ lane highways, you'll be fine on the middle lane, but if you're traveling very slow compared to traffic flow, you should then be on the rightmost lane. Regardless of you are exceeding the speed limit or not, if you are slower than traffic flow, keep right, be courteous and let faster traffic pass.

[@eduardoquintana6507]

Last Saturday I drove for more than three hours on a highway which is considered very _"dangerous"_ here in my country. We call it BR 101 (I am from Brazil, by the way) and I followed the instructions from the video. My trip was a *BLESSING* both when I went to my destination and when I came back home. Thank you for the tips Greetings

[@mostinho7]

Done thank you for excellent video When doing lane change to pass a slow car, it’s safe to move back to the lane (in front of the car you passed) once you see the car you passed in its entirety in the rear view mirror. Don’t forget your signals.

[@juridiamonarrez]

Also when checking blind spot I put my right hand on above at 12 so I don't accidentally move it side to side

This is good. Coz often times I end up drifting to whichever direction I'm observing to move into.

Drive in the right lane. Use other lanes for passing. Don’t drive in the middle lane unless you are passing someone in the right lane.

[@chelle967]

I guess people use these lanes anyway they want huh?

[@LauraLopez-zl5fi]

I need to learn because my job is an hour and a half away avoiding highways

[@shayfay00]

I stay out or the left lane because that's the lane you will mostly likely be pulled over for speeding

[@CooleKip1]

In most European countries it is illegal to stay in one lane the whole trip. We have to use the rightmost lane unless we want to pass a slower vehicle, usually trucks because their speed is limited to 55 miles an hour. Passing on the right hand side is illegal too, and the tickets are expensive. It makes no sence sticking to your (middle) lane like an idiot. If there is a exit/merging lane coming up, you can make way if need so.

[@hartmutboekler5054]

+Kris De Craemer (Kross Coole Kip) very true indeed but who follows this? only Germany. Been driving almost everywhere in the world and they all enjoy wasting lanes on the right, leaving them empty for nobody.

[@straykae]

Why can't I find a consensus on this: if you are passing someone slower than you do you go back in the original lane you were in(given that it is safe to do so)? Or do you stay in the left lane the WHOLE time? I understand if you end up staying there because maybe the innermost lanes really are slow and you end up having to pass everyone but if there were to come a point where your speed could be maintained do you usually switch back?

[@aligerous]

You should not use the freeway lane to get up to speed to merge. Too late. Use the transition (on) ramp to get up to speed to assimilate into the freeway flow. That is what is it for. Don't merge into traffic going 70 MPH when you're barely passing through 50. That is dangerous for all.

[@bluesharp59]

Floor It LOL

[@TrangPakbaby]

[@sunnyavirmed9861]

In my opinion, its not safe for beginner, like me, because when i drive on Round, S .... shape road, its hard to keep high speed like Experienced Drivers do. I always have to slow down when i enter or drive on it. So i always keep the right lane, so that not to block high speed drivers. :)

Chronorust Hi Chronorust, Thank you very much for the advice. 🌞😊 Now im driving on high way every morning and evening. Im still have a fear when i drive on high way. Because most of the experienced drivers dont give the notice to the other drivers that they are going to switch lane. They just give signal at the same time they switch to another lane. This is very dangerous action for these drivers and for beginner like me and other drivers.

nice...but the real difficulty is when you look behind or near you and you find closing cars...how should a person react?

[@ryans413]

The only thing I hate about the highway is rush hour within a city and not doing anything driving for long hours. Like in the city you are constantly moving your feet and hands on the highway you set the cruise and then it’s like you just steer and maybe hit the signal once and a why’ll. I see why many fall asleep on the highway.

[@Ran4361]

Very helpful, thank you for the great explanation

[@samueljspacek5543]

Technically, the right lane is the cruise lane, every other lane to the left of the right is passing. This is how they drive in Germany. Also, do not pass on the right, passing on the left is more expected and noticeable. Also, most people will be more aggressive to get off the highway than move to the left if they see you coming up.

If there is a constant traffic when you are in the merching lane, you eventually have to stop at the end of it :-/ And some cars can overtake you from bhind after that and that can be very dangerous. Any tip how to prevent it pls? Do you really have to be some kind of agressive to merge into higway? Thanks :-)

[@peymanlowery9385]

no....you do NOT have to be aggressive unless this works for you...Slowing down is not as bad as these videos make it seem... Best way for you to merge onto highway traffic is to drive all the way to the end of the merging lane, I mean RIGHT TO THE END OF IT ! With your blinking signal on , of course ! This way, cars behind you do not overtake you and the cars on the highway lanes WILL notice you

That, and people shouldn't be lingering in the fast lane. Traffic gets extremely terrible because there's always that one person in the fast lane that doesn't want to get over. It's common courtesy to get over, if it's safe, when you see someone coming up on you when you're in the fast lane. Or at least that's what I've been taught.

The left lane is not for passing it's for driving faster on long car trips

[@chanellynn97]

no it is for passing

[@razorfang2]

But the left lane really IS for passing. #1 lane is the passing lane or the fast lane as some call it. Middle lanes are for thru traffic. #2 land should be used when people are done passing in the #1 lane to be courteous to anyone else going higher speeds in the fast lane. Right most lanes are typically used for slow traffic, merging off, and merging on. But the sole purpose of the fast lane isn't for people going great distances at great speeds. People use the fast, passing lanes quite a bit and they aren't going on long trips.
