I am curious as to why a person who readily admits they are 18 and thus has very little experience driving would come into the "racing" section and preach about safe driving and techniques to a group of people of whom the majority are older.

To be honest, I was kinda expecting people to be critical of my age and relatively short driving experience. It's true, I haven't even passed the one year mark in terms of car ownership. However, I still would like to see what tips and info we all have to share. Even so, it's not just about how long you've been driving and what you've seen. How one takes an experience to heart is very important, too.

as a truck driver, where taught/trained(w/e) to scan 12 seconds ahead. and at 60mph, thats about a football feild or two. it seems like alot, but if you do, youll see EVERYTHING coming. and towing 80,000lbs down the road means you need every last braking second. do it in a car and youll be more than prepared.

I'm kinda suprised the #1 freeway rule isn't in here.... (turning on rant button)

they call the far left hand lane the "FAST LANE" for a reason, if at any point you aren't passing the other traffic to justify you being in the 'FAST" lane... move your slow *** over and let the natural flow of traffic commence you f*cking donut f*cker!
