If you are over the age of 16, chances are you have operated a vehicle at least once. You may think you know the ins and outs of driving. You may even believe you are a pretty decent driver, but I’m here to tell you you most definitely aren’t. There is an abundance of undisclosed hacks a person can take while driving to make the ride smoother. Whether you are on your way to work, to school, or home after an exhausting day of being a human being, these tips are sure to ease and expedite your treacherous car ride.
1. Honk that horn.
Many people are forced to drive in rush hour every single day of their lives. Tragic. With rush hour comes bumper to bumper traffic and A LOT of aggravated people. Continually, obnoxiously slamming on your horn while every car is dead stopped will definitely do the trick. Traffic will be cleared in no time. Fortunately, this hack also doubles as a cure for pounding headaches.
2. Keep your brights on 24/7, no matter what.
It is imperative you are able to see to the best of your ability.
3. Speed limits, more like speed recommendations!
Those random speed recommendation signs are irrelevant. If you desire, go 20 MPH when the speed limit is 50 MPH. Go 90 MPH on a road that's 45 MPH. Whatever works best for you.
4. Introducing… turn signals!
You’ve heard of “brake lights,” now get ready for turn signals! With one simple movement, you can now let drivers know where the HECK you’re trying to go. If going left, push the turn signal lever down. If going right, push the turn signal lever up. Luckily, when distastefully cutting someone off, you can now let them know beforehand by putting your cutting-edge signal on in the process. It’s scientifically amazing. While using this nifty device seems effortless, it is proprietary not to use it. So just don’t.
5. Utilize the left lane.
It is a very common myth that the left lane is the “fast lane.” For some undefined reason, this lane just seems to move faster. Going 30 MPH in this lane is completely acceptable AND efficient.
6. Pedestrians THINK they have the right of way.
Don’t pay attention to them. You just do you. Eventually, they’ll have to understand that you’re not stopping for them.
7. When some distracting or hazardous weather comes up, just completely forget how to drive.
The usual rules of the road no longer apply.
8. Double parking is always the answer.
When you arrive to your destination, it’s time to find a place to park. Finding a parking spot can sometimes be tedious depending on your destination. After you find yourself a front row spot, park your car so that it takes up two spots. Heck, park your car so that it takes up as many spots as possible. Be creative!!
There you have it. In no time, you should be conquering the roads like a real pro! Happy driving!
