Basic Rules For Driving

1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A real driver never uses them.

2. Under no circumstances should you leave a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, or the space will be filled in by somebody else putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

3. Crossing two or more lanes in a single lane-change is considered going with the flow.

4. Remember that the goal of every driver is to get there first, by whatever means necessary.

5. Never, ever come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No one expects it and it will inevitably result in you being rear ended. If you want your insurance company to pay for a new rear bumper, come to a complete stop at all stop signs.

6. Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It's a good way to scare people entering the highway.

7. Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as suggestions and are apparently not enforceable during rush hour.

8. A right lane construction closure is just a game to see how many people can cut in line by passing you on the right as you sit in the left lane waiting for the same jerks to squeeze their way back in before hitting the orange construction barrels.

9. It is traditional to honk your horn at cars that don't move the instant the light changes.

10. The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller the chance you have of getting hit.

No those are taken straight from the Toronto, ON drivers manual. Probably the worst drivers in the world.

I beg to differ! Those orange barrels are the PA state bush and the little cones: the state flower!!! Oh, the Heinz Ketchup bottle is NOT the only bottleneck Pittsburgh is known for!!!

Those came directly from the safe driving manual for Pittsburgh

Well take a trip up to T.O. and I bet you'll be beggin to get back to Pen after a couple days. I've driven in quite a few states (OH, NY, NC, SC, FL, TX, IN, TN) and I have to say Toronto drivers are the rudest, most ignorant, assholes I've ever seen on the streets.

Ok well I have lived in the States for over 30 years. Driven in 46 of them. They all have pretty piss poor driver ethics. Now put your butt on a plane and come on over to New Zealand for a visit.

Kiwi's are great people they really are, but put them behind the wheel of a car and it is like jeckel and hyde !

Also the faster you go the better chance you have of saying
" What red light ????? I did not see any redlight just a white light "

Talking

Actually, every single one of these rules is quite good except 8 and 10.
However I recommend reading the "alternate road code" in the latest DRIVER magazine, in the mail section. That one is 100% true for NZ drivers and police
