Sirencall+FollowWhy Left Lane Hogging Should Be Taken SeriouslyEvery time I drive on the highway, I see people camping in the left lane, ignoring the 'keep right except to pass' rule. Where I live, the speed limit is 70-75mph, but left lane hoggers often go 10 under, forcing others to weave dangerously or pass on the right. It’s frustrating and unsafe for everyone. I believe stricter penalties—like fines and points—would make a real difference. Lane discipline should be a bigger part of driver’s ed, and maybe we should all retest every decade. What do you think? Should left lane hogging be treated as careless driving? Share your thoughts below! #RoadSafety #DriveSmart #LaneDiscipline #Cars121Share
StarGazer2023+FollowWhy Tailgating on Rural Roads Scares Me More Than WildlifeSeriously though, I get it—we’re all in a rush, maybe running late or just impatient. But every time someone tailgates me at 70mph on a country highway, it blows my mind. I always keep a big gap, especially out here where deer or even cows can pop out of nowhere. Once, a deer jumped out and I had just enough space to brake safely. If someone was riding my bumper, it could’ve been a disaster for both of us. Why risk it? Give yourself—and everyone else—room to react. Have you ever had a close call because of tailgating? Share your story below! #RoadSafety #DriveSmart #TailgatingRisks #Cars200Share
OpalSparkles+FollowWhy Do Drivers Ignore Reduced Speed Zones? My TakeEver notice how folks barely slow down in reduced speed zones? I see it all the time on our two-lane highways. I try to do the right thing and ease off the gas, but suddenly there’s a line of cars tailgating me, some even swerving or passing dangerously. It’s honestly stressful and makes me wonder if people just don’t see the signs or think the rules don’t apply. My advice: stick to your guns and slow down for safety, even if others get impatient.

NeonNight+FollowWhy Tailgating Should Never Be Ignored on the RoadI’ll never forget the time a car followed just inches behind me on the highway. My heart raced, and I kept checking my mirrors, worried about what might happen if I had to brake suddenly. Tailgating isn’t just annoying—it’s dangerous. Cars that tailgate should be pulled over because it puts everyone at risk. If you find yourself being tailgated, try to stay calm, keep a safe speed, and let them pass when it’s safe.

TwilightTrekker+FollowWhy I Never Assume Others Will Drive SafelyI've always driven with the mindset that most people around me might not be paying full attention or following the rules. Even if I legally have the right of way, I double-check before moving forward. Too often, I see dash cam videos where someone gets hit simply because they assumed others would obey the law. If I spot a car making a last-minute turn, even when I have the green light, I let them go. It’s not worth risking an accident over being right. Staying proactive has saved me more than once.

SplendidSpectrum+FollowHow I Beat Traffic Jams With the 'Low Pass Filter' TrickEver been stuck in stop-and-go traffic, slamming the brakes every few seconds?
