Here is a question I received and answered on the now-defunct website AllExperts.com:
I read title 18 section 31 and it clearly says that a motor vehicle is for commercial purposes. Like for a truck driver that is carrying goods, passengers, or a cab driver that is getting money. Now what I don’t understand is why the state I’m from requires me to get a license when is not for commercial use. Why is that?

I recently got my drivers license that now allows me to drive alone. I’m still a bit nervous with certain things like changing lanes and left hand turns. When changing lanes how should the cars appear in my mirrors to let me know I have enough space without cutting them off? Someone told me if I can see their head lights in my rear mirror I have enough room, is this correct? I always check my blind spot as well but changing lanes really gives me bad nerves. Any advice is appreciated!

I got my drivers license at the end of June and I’m still a very nervous driver, I prefer to have someone in the car with me and I’m quite nervous to drive alone. I’m pretty nervous with changing lanes and left hand turns, although I’m getting a bit better with those things I would prefer to be fully confident. How long does it take to become a fully confident driver? I still find myself making mistakes and feeling badly about my driving skills because of it, for instance I was coming to a stop light and I didn’t realize how fast I was going and I had to stop a bit harder than usual, (mind you I’m more concious about that now) but the person in the car with me (who’s been driving for 45 years) yelled at me because of it and it really shook me up and upset me. What can I do to overcome this fear and anxiety with driving? Thank you in advance.

I was driving in the right hand lane on a two lane one way. There were more cars in the left lane and it was moving lowly so I was passing cars. The last car in the left lane cut into the right and came up behind me. There was a cross walk ahead and the long line of cars in the left lane came to a stop. I saw the people in the cross walk pass and saw that there was no one else going across the street so I easily passed the line of cars in the left lane. Continue reading A Crash and A Question

I am not sure whether I am asking the right person or not…but you must be driver… I am driving for 6 months I don’t know whether I am driving correctly or not…,…and I am observing my driver…whenever he wants to slow down the car from high speed, he presses the brake then after brake, he pushes half-clutch…and just to stop the car he uses full clutch…while I am a driver too…I have noted that when he applies brakes, there is a feel that brakes are applied…but when I apply brakes, it is seamless…(I use full clutch then brakes)…please tell me what is right…because our car is going to workshop regularly for the last six months(once for the brakes…once he was driving and the battery went on fire…waterbody gone, and little problems everyday)…(we got driver exactly six months ago)…whether I am using the car wrongly or him…second…he uses the 3rd gear very much…even in traffic, I mean if I do this the car vibrates, so I use second gear, and use 3rd gear only to climb flyovers, etc…and I come to 2nd gear normally from 4th…if I have to slow…my driving is smooth…and his is not…but whatever…Tell me of any mistakes we do…because the driver says gears are related to speed so to slow down, we will always use the previous gear…and to speed up the next one…I am very sorry, this is a very long question…sorry for the inconvenience.

If there’s one question I seem to always get, it’s this: “How much time will this take (to get me/my son/my daughter through to the license test?” Continue reading How Much Time Will I Need?
Take a peak out your window – chances are high that you’ll see a few people wandering around, staring intently at their phones. These people will stop periodically, shift direction, swipe at their screens a few times, then proceed on their way. Continue reading Gotta Catch Em All
When driving, especially on the highway, you really never know when circumstances will suddenly change. At highway speed, you’re moving at about 80 feet per second or faster. If something suddenly pops into your path, you may only have a second or two to react.
Watch this video, taken from the Modern Driver DashCam. In this clip, a living room recliner blows out of the bed of a pickup truck in the right lane before bouncing to a stop in the left lane of a highway.
Notice that the only escape path was to quickly move into the adjacent lane – a move which in only possible if the lane is vacant. One of the most important things to remember about driving on multilane roads is to always leave yourself an escape path. Try to position yourself in the traffic flow so that the lane next to you is empty, and other cars are at least two seconds away. If you’re constantly maintaining this emergency buffer space around your car, dodging an attacking recliner is a relatively easy maneuver.
