Above all else, manage space around your vehicle and always maintain a 2 to 3 second following distance. Keep your eyes moving and scan to the rear and side of the vehicle. With scanning you can get the information from traffic signs that will allow you to be a proactive driver. These traffic signs will help you to interpret traffic patterns and locate intersections. Finally, use cruise control to reduce fatigue and eliminate distracted driving while on the highway.

I did it guys! I conquered my fear of driving after a car accident. I found the secret to be to drive more and keep in practice. My husband normally does all 5he driving because he's an exceptional driver.

This guy is a phenomenal teacher I’ve been watching his videos before I got my permit then I got my learners permit and then I got my drivers license thanks man

[justinccole]

Maybe I missed it, but keeping an eye on the cars that are 2-3 cars in front of you is a huge benefit. Will give you a heads up on changing traffic conditions much faster than just watching the guy in front of you.

[Sum-zbyu]

I can’t stand when ppl jump in front of me and don’t use a blinker 😡

[ivana]

I've been watching videos trying to over come my driving anxiety. This man speaks with such confidence and expertise it has a calming effect on its on. Definitely adding this to my Playlist

[ben]

WOW you laughed for a full minute and a half at the word rhinosaur (9:50) 😂

[Bendigo]

Less space behind? Leave more space in front.
One of the most important yet often forgotten rules to driving. Really wish more driving instructors taught students all the information you do. Not just the basics.

[grazz]

Did you see that first shot of the young lady terrified? That’s what the majority of people do in a situation-panic, grab the steering wheel as tight as possible, close thier eyes as tight as possible, turn thier head left or right and pray for the best.

[Alex_Mitchell]

It's also important to be scanning the roadside for wildlife that might run into the path of your vehicle. Deer are particularly bad. However, they will not cause nearly as much damage as a collision with a Rhinosaur will. Heads up!

[cheyannsutton]

Seeinge him laugh at himself for the Rhinosaur blooper really just made my day 😭😂 I love how tickled he is haha I can’t stop laughing

[colechapman]

This video should be mandatory viewing for all New Jersey drivers. we have a lot of stupid drivers who have no idea how to drive

[xiuchengyang]

amazing videos. I got my license according to your tips. Thank you for the whole wonderful videos

[gen_x_diva]

I’m here because after working from home during the pandemic and continuing to do so, I rarely have a need to go onto highways. I am now panicked and avoid them. I want to overcome this. I hate trucks near me, fast cars around me, switching lanes and merging. I almost feel like I need to go back to driving school. It is so humiliating.

i've watched tons of rick's videos & i was able to pass my road test first try i really just heard rick in my head about what to do vs what not to do, i still watch this content even after passing the test

[opetrescu]

Super-useful, brother. I'm moving from California to Upper New York State and need to remember all my winter driving tips - from Ottawa originally ;)

[MB-uvyi]

That was laugh. Thanks Rick, Hope you, your family and all had a quiet Christmas or Holiday and all the very best for the new year. Much Blessings

[ZakkuTakku]

Left lane hogs are definitely annoying, but what really drives me crazy is when I'm trying to merge onto the highway, someone else is coming up on the right hand lane right by the entrance ramp that I'm on, I can see in my side mirror that the left lane is empty and that other driver could easily mover over to give me some space to safely merge in, but they

[kowanmcgarry]

Thank you for another great video Rick. Amazing work as always.

Glad somebody is putting this information into a knowledge transferrable format. I arrived at these methods on my own but with so many individual (non-communicating entities) on the road, the more people that apply the same method will result in a better system. Kudos…not the candy bar.
