Whats your best driving tip?

When someone is turning in front of you, namely turning right into a side street or shopping center, don't be that driver who thinks they can time the point where the vehicle in front of you clears your path and when you just miss the rear.
What happens if a kid or parent holding a child's hand is crossing in front of the turning vehicle....then that vehicle stops and waits, and you plow into the rear pushing the stopped vehicle into the kid...or both...or even more people waiting at a bus stop.
I see this everyday and is mind boggling.
Plan to stop behind EVERY vehicle.

It’s not about you. Don’t drive like

That's a good one that I sometimes don't follow but should - I've been burned more than once assuming they will zip into the entrance and don't then I have to woah-up in short order to avoid rear ending.

I see this all the time. The cars always swerve at the last second to avoid hitting that turning car
If I were a LEO I’d stop every ****ed car where the tint was too dark to see inside.

Lmao, I have tint at 20 percent on my truck. You don't even need sunglasses on a sunny day in that vehicle. Dark tint keeps the sun from fading everything out inside. Has nothing to do with hiding anything
Good thing you're not.
If you get stuck on an interstate and they close it due to heavy snow DON'T drive 10-15 mph over the speed limit to hurry up and get to your destination. This happened to my family in 1996ish or so in Kansas on I-70. They closed the road and driver after driver went speeding past only to end up in a ditch a couple of miles up the road. Tow truck drivers don't want to be out in blowing snow anymore than most people do.
That would be about 3/4 of the vehicles around here. I think enforcement has been totally abandoned.
Since I live in Houston, my best driving tip would be
Stay Home.
Stay Home.

I would want that. But in Philadelphia, you'd be reprimanded if you were to do that. That would be against the vehicle code.
Like I told my children when teaching them about driving thirty years ago.95% of driving is staying out of way of morons.
I just started driving the school bus two months ago. I get four hours a day of paid watching bad drivers drive.
Nobody pays attention to what us going on around them. Only the tunnel vision of the rear bumper in front of them.

I was going to miss my turn on the way home from work today, so this guy honks at me for getting over in front of him. Must have been on his phone, I had my turn signal on for like 10 seconds before getting over. Why freak out if a person is signaling his intentions? I was already going 10 below the speed limit waiting for two cars to pass so I didn't have to squeeze through, but whatever
