Can't think of too many places where someone could or would want to turn left on red. This typically is an option in city environments where you have one way streets.

Don't chase the cheese. What am I referring to? Rat running is when drivers avoid a traffic light by cutting through a parking lot. This action could result in a ticket, fines, points or an accident.

Why do we need to pay attention to warning signs? This intersection on 61 is dangerous if you don't, and when pulling out from a green light, it's always encouraged to look at intersecting traffic first 🚦👀

The small checkmark on the permit means it's time to smile for your picture, great job!

I will cover situations like this for how to manage your vehicle if your lane is blocked. And what to do when your lane is blocked near the crest of a hill or blind turn.

Practiced today making a left turn onto 61 from liberty st where we used the center lane (it's not a passing lane) before making a lane change. B and I talked about what to look for to know if you are able to make a lane change in front of someone Braedon Pope

Winning!!! Raul came to me spending hundreds of dollars a week and working overtime just to get to and from work. Safe to say that money can now be spent on finding his own wheels to get himself to and from work.

When coming to a stop sign there are variables we practice throughout the lessons but one thing that isn't a variable is the expectation of a 3 second pause

At an intersection with a stop sign, you must STOP completely.

In 2025, there were nearly 3,000 crashes involving a driver who ran a stop sign, resulting in 20 fatalities and 2,311 injuries.

Rolling stops are not legal, or safe. Stop completely, check for pedestrians and cross traffic, and proceed when it is safe.

Thank goodness for chat gpt. My Spanish is very limited, and didn't have an interpreter today, technology for the win!

Drive safely on rural roads, especially in the spring and summer months when farm vehicles are common on these roads.

Slow down and avoid distractions.

If you must pass a slow-moving vehicle, pass safely in a passing zone, and only when the road is clearly visible and free of oncoming traffic.

Never drive impaired and always buckle up for a safe drive!
