Default 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.

Any thread scares me when Ray and ABY answer side-by-side.

I mean just look at the avatars! Can you imagine meeting those two convicts down a dark alley in the wrong part of town?!?

Actually, for that matter, can you imagine meeting them in a well-lit avenue in tranquil suburbia?!?

Disreputable bunch, these BE-ers!

DMV for the state you live in. Read it. Then don't drive like the locals. Should be all set.

Read the driver's handbook for your state. It's probably online.

Did you not take Driver's Ed at high school?

If only there were some sort of informative website that gave safe driving information - possibly with links to places you can buy radar detectors.

Here's some advice;

Watch out for the Camels and Donkeys in whatever country you come from, and leave us the hell alone!

Oh......and watch out for low-flying Magic Carpets, too.:curse:
