How to Drive

This is a tip sheet for the proper way to drive.

The key to driving is knowing ONE IMPORTANT FACT: YOU are not the only person on the road.

Turn Signals: Use them. The turn signal lets people know you will be slowing down, and also WHY you are slowing down. It lets the people around you plan their actions based on your own. It also lets others know if you are about to do something stupid, such as merge when a vehicle is in your blind spot.
If the LAPD wants to make more money to pay officers, they should start pulling over everyone who doesn't use their turn signals - easy money.

Lanes: There is a proper way to use lanes. Assuming there is a 4 lane road, such as "the" 101 (why the hell do we call it "the" 101 instead of "Highway 101" or "US 101" or "CA 101"?), each lane has a purpose.
The rightmost lane is for exiting or entering the highway. That is ALL it should be used for. If you get your slow ass out of the right lane, people will be able to merge onto the highway faster, and there will be less slowdown for all.
The next lane over is for driving. No matter your speed, if you are simply driving, you should be in this lane.
The next lane(s) are for passing. Get in the left lanes, pass the person or people you are moving faster than, then MOVE back over so that others may pass you. As always, use your turn signals to let people know what you are doing.

The acceleration lane is for ACCELERATING. Especially if the meter is off, you should use this lane to enter the highway at or near the posted speed limit.

If you are on Malibu Canyon/Las Virgenes, and do not feel like traveling at the posted speed limit, USE THE TURN-OFFS!!! They were designed for you to move the fuck out of the way of people who like traveling 45 in a 45.
