Reply to comment by j1mmyB3000 in LPT Request: turning 16 this year, what is something i should/shouldn’t do? by yelloroadintheusa

Yeah, yeah. This. Only, treat everyone like they’re on their phone and are about to drive into your lane. If you expect it, you won’t be surprised and will be ready.

And if the light turns yellow, be ready for the car in front of you to stomp on the brakes like an idiot. Especially in the turn lanes, when everyone is looking sideways instead of where they're going.

Yeah. Idiots. All the other drivers are idiots and expect the worst.

If you’re at a stop sign and the person in front of you is making a right make sure they fully make the right before proceeding forward. Sometimes the person ahead will make like they’re going, you’ll look down the road for oncoming traffic, push the gas only to find that car has stopped and not made the turn and you have now crashed into the back of them.

Source: was 16 and did this.
