I know some of you don't care but let the haters hate. I went to DMV today and passed the test so i can now drive on public roads legaly!!!! So my mother had to get gas in the villager so i pumped it and switched seats and drove home. Going out in a few to drive around. Any advice about driving other then the norm?

-obey the rules.
-Always keep "a escape plan in mind". As in, in case bad things happen in front of you, whats the best action to take. Granted you'll gain experience and it will begin to sit in your head naturally.
-Give plenty of room for everyone. Cars, trucks and motorcycles. Most people will be in the wrong lanes and will usually want to take the exit thats right in front of you so anticipate that.

Congratulations... I read your post and saw your join date and scratched me head for a few minutes lmao.
Don't text and drive, wear your seatbelt and don't go flexing your muscles with your 190hp 305 IROC

Oh and in all seriousness always try to look as far ahead as you can. Hardest thing to get used to when I got my CDL because of longer stopping times/crappier steering; it defiantly helps in a non commercial vehicle as well though.

100% true..always know whats around you. Let the other people do the stupid crap and drive crazy..you'll see insurance costs matter in the long run and its the worst $ spent on paying high premiums for stupidity.

Avoid PA drivers at all cost. If you see a car anywhere near you with PA tags, just pull over and wait a few. If said PA driver happens to be an asian women in a minivan, thats like the trifecta... pull over, shut off the car for like 10 minutes minimum, and just pray for the best. Its all we can do... its a crazy world out there living so close to Philly.
