I don't know what's so hard about being a safe and good driver. All we have to do is follow the basic rules, and there aren't all that many of them.

1. SIGNAL ALL turns, lane changes and highway merges and exits.

2. Don't follow too close. Create a reactionary safety gap of one car length, for every 10 MPH of speed.

3. Double your following distance (as revealed in Rule #2) in wet weather.

4. Stay out of the left lane, unless you're passing slower motorists. Then, get out of the left lane.

5. Yield to emergency vehicles (police, fire, ambulance) and MOVE OVER to create a one lane safety gap, when anybody is stopped on the side of the road or highway shoulder.

6. Stay off your phones and I-Pads, until you're out of your car. Pay attention and DRIVE, while you're in it! (duh)

So simple...

I agree. In Las Vegas they will make a left turn from the right lane, while you are in the left lane, right in front of you!!! They just do whatever they want. And you had better not honk at them!
