things I learned in traffic school

We want your traffic school experience to be painless, educational, and convenient. Our course uses plain English, gives you lots of examples, and doesn't bog you down with too many details.

It's  important to remember that your horn is not a self-expression tool. You should not use your horn to convey anger or frustration at another driver! Unnecessary horns just frustrate everyone around!

 Just like the hippest celebrity hangouts ask that you see and be seen, so does the road in extreme weather

 Pablo and John are driving on the freeway, on their way home from the beach. They spent all day at Santa Monica with a group of friends. While everyone else decided to leave earlier, John and Pablo being good defensive drivers decided to wait for traffic to calm down. They know that you are less likely to get into an accident if you avoid rush hour. Once they left the beach, traffic was significantly better, however, there were still quite a few cars on the road. John was driving. He not only followed the three-second-plus rule (it was dark, after all) but he also kept looking around, making sure he wasn't in anyone's blind spot. After driving for fifteen minutes, they noticed that a car was approaching them rapidly. Both John and Pablo knew that tailgating was a problem especially on the freeway. They both assumed that was all it was, a stubborn tailgater refusing to abide by the three-second rule. After looking up at the car again, they noticed he was right behind them and did not seem to be slowing down. Was there something wrong with his brakes? Or was this an example of road rage? Whatever it was, they did not want to find out how far this would go. The other driver was approaching them too quickly. John quickly signaled that he would change lanes, checked his mirrors, looked both ways and switched lanes. This evasive action saved John and Pablo from a dangerous collision.

..........................................

 As you approach a construction zone ahead, you attempt to merge into the lane next to you in the standard alternating from each lane method, but the driver that is supposed to give you the right-of-way, insists on going ahead. We suggest that you let him go, and don't get angry about it.  Save your energy for more important problems.
