When posting, please indicate
1) what country/state you are referring to in the subject line, as laws vary around the world.
2) Don't give bad advice.
You might think 'everyone else does it' and think it is therefore okay to do, but DO NOT DO THIS as you may be creating a bad habit in another individual that could lead to serious consequences for them. Instead, refer to the law of that particular area in order to allow a new driver to at least learn how to do things the legal way first.
My MESSAGE to New Drivers:
Why follow the law? It's because the law has been developed over many years, typically as a result of some or many tragedies. The laws, if followed, help people avoid those horrible situations. At a minimum it will probably help you keep your own insurance rates low, giving you more money in your pocket to exercise your freedom of choice. Got it?
In the end, the worst thing that can happen is you end up killing someone else and have to live with that for the rest of your life, or, like people I do know, you end up permanently crippled… both will cost you your money and will eliminate your ability to exercise your freedom of choice.
My freedom of choice? That might include going to the beach, taking a trip, eating a really nice meal, hanging with friends or just talking a walk in the park with my dog… Get it?
Be careful and learn how to operate a vehicle the right way, so that it'll be what you rely on if all hell breaks loose in front of your path of travel.
If you practice bad habits, that'll be who you are as a driver.
After you get good at driving, it's a great feeling. You can now drive anywhere. But there's a issue on the horizon and it's impatience. When you get to this moment, remember to ask yourself this question: "which driver am I, a pro driver, or a bad driver?"
Good luck.
