My grandfather taught me to drive. He did an excellent job. For example I am driving down a street, he puts his hand over the rear view mirror and asks me how many cars are behind me, lesson USE YOUR MIRRORS. He taught me ALWAYS use turn signals, I still use these at 2 am in the morning going into our driveway, he would give me heck if I made a turn without using signals. He always told me to expect the unexpected and to ALWAYS have an OUT while you are driving. This advice was invaluable, and unfortunately I have had to use to way too many times in TV.

Golf cart turning LEFT from the GC lane, signals, in front of my car, you must be kidding. Twice in 2 years!!

Idiot in opposing lane stopped to allow GC to cross MM path, just missed having a GC as a hood ornament. PEOPLE, ONLY UNIFORMED OFFICIALS ARE ALLOWED TO DIRECT TRAFFIC.

I cannot count the number of times I have seen people changing lanes in the roundabouts, enter from right lane, go into the center lane in roundabout, then exit to right lane....

And please do not get me started on running RED lights......

Just venting, thank you...............
