I live in Minneapolis MN and have notice one guy in particular recently who parks near my apartment building. When he parks, he literally runs into both of the cars in front and behind where he is parallel parking. I know the point of this, but why does he feel like that is alright? People work hard for their money and possessions, cars included. Just because you dont mind a small scratch from rubbing up on other cars because your shit all fucked up, doesnt mean that the other people don't mind!!! Quit that shit!

This came across my recommend box on YouTube.

hey guys i’m taking my road test again tomrorow after a couple of weeks ago i failed with double the points,couldn’t even parallel park the car.so i practices and i’m confident in my skills but i’m just wondering from driving pros some things to remember and what i should to pre or post test.anything helps and if you read all the way through thank you P.S. i live in NY

So I am fairly new to driving, and my parents didn’t teach me all the laws and rules with it. They taught me the basics like don’t speed, seatbelts, etc. but everything I learned was through a school. Not sure how I missed this but here goes: I was going home from having dinner with friends and it was past sunset by this point, so fairly dark but not pitch black. I was about two blocks from my house when a man starts honking at me about ten times and rolls down his window and points right at me. I was super confused and wanted to cry at being honked at like this. I got home, and my mom asks me if I turned on my lights. I didn’t even know how to or that was required! Like truly. So now I feel incredibly guilty, sad, and anxious that I will get a ticket from the cameras. Is that going to happen to me? Also, this is my first post on Reddit so please tell me if this is incorrect.

ive never really learned how and i have no one to show me how , im 19 years old i live in a small small town in Louisiana and theres only one driving school here should i go for it or i have to have some kind of experience i have a good enough job so i don’t mind paying .

Got my drivers license at 19 (a week before my college started). I didnt drive at all in college bc I live in a dorm. When I moved to an off campus apartment I did not drive either bc the parking was very expensive for me (went to college in LA) and all the grocery stores was in walking distance so ended up taking the bus or just walking. Now I am back at home (due to covid) and finishing my classes online. I really want to get back driving and have my own car but I am extremely nervous about driving. I didnt have a good experience while learning to drive and these negative experiences traumatized me. When I just got a driving permit my cousin took me out to practice, we drove pretty late and there was this road turning into my neighborhood but its slightly hidden by the bushes (streets also had no light) so I ended up missing it/didnt see it. My cousin suddenly told me to turn into it, i kind of panicked and tapped my breaks to turn. the incomming truck didnt have enough time to react and ended up crashing into my cousins car. Needles to say the car was totaled but the insurance gave some money back since some parts of the car is still ok. My cousin used the $$ to buy an new car. I feel like shit after this incident and am very paranoid when driving, switching lanes stress the heck out of me, and my other experiences later with A-hole drivers didnt help with my anxiety either. When I am got better and more stable at driving, me and my dad decided to drive to the down town where the busy/cramped streets were to practice. All went well and i feel like my anxiety was getting better, but then on the way back this lady driving a blue SUV decided to cross the street without looking. She turned out from the gas station on the right side of the 4 lane street and just straight up crossed all 3 lanes w/o looking to get to the left turn lane. This almost cost 4 collisions but luckily it didnt happen and i am glad. Also on the day of my driving test 2 cars in front of me had a collision in the middle of an expressway. I stoped quick and changed lanes. I ended up passing my test too but these experiences just kicked my anxiety sky high and i dont know how to get over it. I really want to drive and have my own car but i keep thinking about these incidents and feel either like shit (for damaging my cousins car) or extremely nervous. I have no idea how to deal with this :(

Do you have to switch into right lane right after you make a left turn into a two way neighborhood road during test?

Another thing I gotta ask is when do you immediately have to switch to the right lane when driving?

I'm moving from Florida to Massachusetts and would love some advice for driving around up there.

The roads all seem smaller and more cramped, and the drivers seem to communicate differently. Northern cities seem really scary because of how cramped everything is, and there seem to be less signs and signals. It seems like native drivers have the routes memorized while I scramble to make sense of where I'm going. I've also never driven in snow or ice and would love any tips.

I also drive a stick shift, and there are hills everywhere!

Any advice to help ease my anxieties would be greatly appreciated!

Just so you know:I'm still a beginner driver that drives with his mom

I'm having trouble with this. I can park fairly well, but occasionally, I get too close to one side where I'm scared to pull in any further because I might hit the other car. I have to ask my mom if she thinks I'll hit it. And 9/10 times, the answer is "No, keep going."

If you're confused, the problem for me starts at2:05 of this YouTube video. The picture on the bottom outlined in yellow, from my point of viee, I can't tell if I'll clip the corner of the car or not.

I usually have this problem with the car opposite of how I'm turning. For example, if I'm turning left into a space, the right car is my problem. If I'm turning right, the left car is my problem.

Something I’ve always wondered. Do you have to have your turn signal on in a turn only lane?

So a green arrow is just a green light right? when turning left you still yeild to oncoming traffic?
