BlossomBlip+FollowWhy I Wait at Right Turns—And Why You Should TooEver been honked at for not turning right the second the light changes? I have, and it always baffles me. Just the other day, I waited because a group of teens was crossing and there was a clear 'no turn on red' sign. The driver behind me laid on the horn, then sped past, glaring. Honestly, I'd rather be safe than sorry—no right turn is worth risking someone’s safety or breaking the law. Have you ever been pressured to turn when it wasn’t safe?

BoldBanshee+FollowHow I Handle Tailgaters on My Local Country RoadEvery day, I drive a one-way country road with farms and woods on both sides. The speed limit is 40mph, and I stick to it, even if the dotted yellow line means others can pass. Lately, more drivers tailgate me, even when I’m at or just above the limit. It’s stressful, especially with deer and driveways everywhere. I refuse to speed up—I slow back to the limit and let them pass if it’s safe. My advice: stay calm, don’t let tailgaters pressure you, and always put safety first. Have you dealt with tailgaters? Share your tips below! #SafeDriving #RoadSafety #StayCalm #Cars35174Share
MelodicMystic+FollowWhy I Always Look Back When Reversing—And Why It Works for MeI've been a licensed driver for just a year, and as a pizza delivery guy, reversing is part of my daily routine. People—my parents, my supervisor, even strangers—often ask why I physically turn around instead of just using mirrors. Honestly, I do it because it helps me see everything, especially since my car doesn't have a reverse camera or sensors. I know some folks suggest extra mirrors, but nothing beats actually looking back for me. It gives me peace of mind and helps me avoid surprises. Anyone else prefer the old-school way?
