"Unfortunately in a state like Michigan where everyone is tailgating each other..."
That's an understatement. It's not tailgating, it's trading paint.

LEGIT
Lol
It is definitely intimidating for new drivers. I’ve been driving for 3 years now and it took an entire year and a half for me to feel brave enough to regularly drive on the highway alone.
Glad I wasn’t the only one that feels this way
What helped you feel better?
@@guineapigtalks nothing the shame of having to drive streets all the time and going through stop lights causing you to waste so much time knowing that in freeway you get to Yiur destination in minutes
@@guineapigtalks I can't answer for the original person, but for me personally you just have to do it more. Through repetition you get more comfortable every time.
Stay in the right lane unless your passing someone. If everyone knew this rule and it was enforced then we would have a lot less accidents and it would be a lot less scarier. Instead we have drivers told that the middle lanes are ok to hog then when Chad going 80 in his Type R tries to pass the fat prius' betas going 55 hogging the middle and left lanes and he has to pass you on the right and he ends up crashing into all of them because one of the prius swerves for the exit. The fact that our highways are so bumpy and America doesnt teach proper lane etiquet is why it looks so intimidating. If we just had an emergency public service anouncement and explained the rules and enforced them then we would have such better highways that also guess what GO FASTER. MORE EFFICIENT AND SAFER OMG BUT NOOOOOOOOOO
Here because I'm scared af to drive on the highway 😂😂😂 I drive everyday but I don't gotta go on the highway to get to my destination
Smoke 0 SAME LMFAOOO
I’d rather drive an hour longer, taking back dirt roads if it means i don’t have to get on the highway lmfao 😩
Pussies
Causing Havoc omm😂😂
I don’t wanna drive cus I’m afraid of dying on it I’d rather spend an extra hour taking the scenic route
As a pointer to anybody learning to drive, I just recently drove on the highway for the first time, its intimidating, but a big tip is to stay calm and be aware. Yes everyone was overtaking me, the speed limit was 55 and I barely did 60, but I did it since I wasn't fully comfortable. Its not nearly as hard as it can seem
Kali did u get used to it 3 years later
Yes give an update
Can u give your current status on driving and how long did it take for you to become a good driver when u were just a new driver before.
as an update, I've become a much better driver, a lot of it is just getting used to the area and being confident in your driving, you'll always have to be aware of other people but practice really does help a lot. it still isn't fun having people overtake me doing like 20 over but its whatever. people are always going to overtake you, even if you do 20 over theres going to be some person whos that impatient. it probably took me a year or so before i was really comfortable driving, and even now i get uncomfortable when I'm in an area i don't know too well
@@mystic_cb944 thnx for the update i hope ill get use to it sooner or later with practice and patience.
My heart goes out to people driving on California freeways 😂😂
Cairo M 👍😆
I live in Cali and I get anxiety when I drive the freeway. I tried my best to avoid the freeway but if I don’t have a choice, then I’m gonna have to take it. Plus, I’m not good at memorizing streets so I’m always afraid of getting lost lol. GPS life.
I was visiting Cali recently and nobody was using blinkers and drove aggressively on the freeway and even as a passenger in an uber I was lowkey freaking out from how recklessly a lot of people drove.
I do almost anything to avoid going to the freeway but sometimes it’s unavoidable :/
ayyachris I’m always using gps 😂😂✅
I’m fine with freeway driving for the most part. For me, in the beginning it’s just getting on that’s scary with everyone going fast.
that was my fear as well my first time going on the freeway but i just took a deep breath and matched the other cars speed and merged on. everything after that was easy
@@tammieruzic3956 so it’s not that bad?
@@beanteam2217 not at all
@@burg3r703 ye I feel like after getting on everything is easy
Just put your foot down and CHECK for incoming vehicles
My struggle is lane changing makes me soo nervous!!! Checking the rearview and side view mirrors and not trying to steer in another lane WHILE ALSO trying to pay attention to what's in front of me😣😣😣😭😭😭the struggle.
Me too! I thought I was the only one. I got my license today, and I’ll be driving alone for the first time today, but that scares me the most!

Dont stare, a small glance is all you need
Oh God I'm 21 and the freeway is that one dragon I need to slay. It's too scary for me for whatever reason
Same boat I'm 23 tho

How to drive on the freeway
Step 1. Enter freeway
Step 2. Drive on freeway
Step 3. Exit on appropriate exit
People are morons, you have to define each one of your step, cause either way theyre gonna fuck up somewhere
+DA PORSCHE MAN In Michigan, were I live people don't understand this concept. They tailgate like a moron, then go EXTREMELY slow entering. People are proper imbeciles here.
+Patrick Mason upper or lower peninsula because I drove from Wisconsin to the UP and the drivers up there were horrendous. Repeatedly got cut off at least 8 times in a 10 minute time period!
Lower yet the drivers still suck. Also avoid Birmingham if your in the lower peninsula because they're a bunch of stuck up snobs.

Your vids seem to get a lot of shitty comments but just wanted to say I appreciate you making them. Will help a lot of newbie drivers.
With the number of people that either die or get injured in car accidents you'd think people would take not dying in a violent car wreck more seriously.
I've just started driving and people drive like maniacs.
The 3 second rule you mentioned makes sense.
You don't actually know what's going to happen with the car in front of you. They can slam on the breaks for any number of reasons. Human beings are not fortune tellers, but we act like we are. And also, like you said, if I follow the 3 second rule people WILL cut in front of me.
I've had someone cut in front of me where it made NO SENSE.
There was literally no room for them and they almost crashed into the side of my car trying to squeeze their way in. So I had to slow down, then the person tailgating behind me almost rear ended me.
People are so fucking stupid. For the average person driving is the most dangerous thing we do and yet they drive like they're all suicidal.
Which state are you in?
Very true though
By Any Means Necessary sounds like california. drivers here have very low iqs
where i live there’s taught proper driving techniques and etiquette. most drivers are responsible, and we have annually just approximately 100 accidents in the whole country. americans in general don’t have proper driving etiquette and respect for other ttraffickers. i noticed that when i was there on vacation last year.
y43i so what’s yo Cuntry ?
I WISH US ALL LUCK BOYS AND GIRLS - WE GOT THIS
Preciate it
Not just for highway driving, but you should put your indicator on to change lanes as soon as when you want to change lanes. A lot of people do all the mirror checks and then indicate and change lanes immediately after. By indicating as soon as possible, this lets other drivers around you know that you want to change lanes and some nice drivers will even make room for you, especially in heavy traffic. No one's going to make room for you when they don't know what you're doing.
Also, people not merging at highway speeds is the most irritating thing I see on the road, especially when you're stuck behind them because then you also have to try and merge when all the other cars are going much faster and it's just an all-round unsafe situation. Worst thing I ever saw was someone had come to a complete stop in the merging lane at the end of the on-ramp. It's so terribly moronic it blows my mind. It makes me wonder how they passed their driving test.
this video really, REALLY helped me out. i’m struggling to handle the highway, especially following times/distances, but you explain things so well. thank you!!!
I'm driving to a music festival for the first time in my life as I usually fly to them or ride with others on the road. Been freaking myself about it all, driving on highways and out of state for the first time. Definitely a big thing for me cause I got my license at 26 (I'm 28) due to such fear of driving. Lol huge growth us about to come
Bro I'm shitting myself just thinking about driving on a highway
Me to everyone: "My name is Ana. And i am afraid of driving on the highway"
Everyone: "Hello Ana!, welcome Ana!"
I misread it at first. I thought the ! Was a "L"
I got my license yesterday & today when I was getting on the highway I went all the way to the left lane & almost caused an accident :( & now I can't stop thinking about it .. I don't even wanna drive nomore
So, how's your driving abilities now 3 years later?

For new drivers, stay on the right lanes.
Why on earth you go straight left 😰
You drive safe!!!
2:33 extremely accurate, good old Michigan driving.
Thank you do much . You really explained it so well and so detailed on every aspect . You answered all my questions . I appreciate you so much Blessings to you always ❤️🙏🏻
People should really obey the "no driving in the left lane" rules
Every day I have to pass people that are going 5-10 under, while they are in the "passing lane"
Wpythons can you help me? When I’m changing lanes and checking my blind spot, when I look over my shoulder, am I supposed to look out my window, or the backseat window?

Awesome tips for a non-driver as well. Thank you for the video.
This was an interesting peek into the realm of U.S traffic laws and driving culture in general. Here in Finland the amount of overspeeding is measured by how many % of the legal speed limit one overspeeds. For an example doing 20km/h over the 120km/h limit on a freeway on a bright july day leaves you with a ticket and the amount depends on your growth income rate.. But if you do 70km/h on rural 50km/h speed limit street with pedestrian crossings and a kindergarten close by, it's very possible they take your license and slam you with a big fat fine that takes about a year for a normal person to pay off.. And heer practically nobody slows down on a construction bit of the road.. People blast right through with 130km/h in the clock even the limit had dropped down to 60km/h.. I think the cops don't wanna radar those juicy spots 'cause instantly there would be a line of cars two miles long for everybody having their licenses revoked and fined for 5000€.. :D
A good rule of thumb. Don't drive while making a video and looking at the camera every couple of seconds. Distracted driving is just as dangerous as drunk driving.
It’s called multiple tasking. If you can do it then you can do it.

About to take my first trip on the highway. 602 miles round trip. Thank you for this video. Very helpful.
I actually subscribed to your channel last summer after watching your "how to drive stick" playlist, great videos! They were a lot of help for my driver's test
I thank you for all these videos you upload especially these ones.
Thanks for the tips I will be taking my driving test Friday pretty excited.
Thank you for making this video bro, you've really helped me out.
In Northern Virginia don't bother matching speed on the entrance ramp, highways are always backed up with traffic. Please people, stop moving here.
FoolishTuning i know i’m late but this is 100% accurate. i-95 is a complete disaster.
Thanks for making this video! Perfect timing.....
These are the vids I subscribed for. Thnx
You should do a simple video on how to set your side and rear view mirrors. When correctly set for many cars there is no blind spot at all, and a lot of people tend to miss this.
Sadly I see far too many drivers still setting the side mirrors so that they can see the side of their car without moving their head at all... it hurts
Also, know where construction zones are (if any) on your route because the speed of traffic can go from ex. 60mph to 0mph very quickly. This goes for any accidents on your route as well.
It's tricky a bit at first...but if u keep ur eyes open and pay close attention to ur surroundings AT ALL TIME...then u would ace it...i drove on the highway by myself the fist time..4 lanes ...i was nervous lol...now it's part of my everyday life...it's fun.
Your name is Parker lol and you love to drive lmao car puns
lame puns
@@perkhere2252 how rude
Yeeees!! It’s the speeds that make me afraid. I have my license and just now starting to get on the express way because I have to
Perfect. Thank u very much
you sound just like taylor lautner. I love it. and thank you for this video
Love how parker is doing this right on the highway i drive on everyday
Perfect video. Everyone should see this
I thought that was michigan because of the highway signs. Great video, will be sure to remember!
Also watch out In Tennessee and Georgia 90% of drivers never use their turn signal. I was driving from Illinois.
Great video bud justt one question or tip for me, so im scared to while be driving in the highway pass my exit for example wantimg to turn but there being no chance like the drivers didnt give me a chance so i missed my exit. Also im frightened to make turns in the highway while going at fast speeds im worried of turning to hard and making the vehicle go over any tips or suggestions on these questions? I would really appreciate it but great excellent video buddy!!!
My driving test is next month. I'm so excited
Good luck!
good luck man
You guys are so nice! Thank you :)
+ethan Klahn haha no problem
Gl!
Hey Parker. How should ones side mirrors be adjusted? How much of your car should you be able to see
Thank you so so much God bless you
Great video, road rules in the US make no sense though, it should be keep furthest right unless overtaking, what is the point in having majority of the traffic in the 2nd to outside Lane? The UK has keep left unless overtaking and our traffic police are finally starting to nick people who sit in the middle lanes for no reason... Love your videos 👌
I wish they did that. If you drive in the middle lane at your own speed, your blocking 2 or more lanes of traffic.
No one knows or follows this we need better education.
Yep indeed, exactly what I was thinking Joe (I’m from Belgium). It is easy just keep right when the lane is open. Sticking on the 2nd lane is so dangerous!
@@rafampoorter5835 I don't want to have to battle with people merging onto the freeway every exit that comes up. If the freeway is three lanes or more, I'm usually going to stay in the middle lane(s) unless I have to pass someone. It's more dangerous to stay in the right lane, unless you are driving much slower than the other cars on the highway.
@@nexus_0683 dangerous af. Just go to the right lane and when there is an exit move for a sec tot the middle lane and than back to the right after the exit
Thank you for this video 👍
You already know what it is, scare of highway. That’s why I am here watching this video posted for over 4 years now. My license is on the way. I have been driving around the neighborhood. Take my daughter to school but I now want to break the fear and go to my cousin’s house to hang out but there is one thing I have to drive on the highway to go there. She doesn’t want to come over because she wants me to break the fear! I will break that fear in Jesus name 🙏.
Heyyy, bout to get my learner's permit. Thanks for the extra tips bro
Hey Parker! When you got on the freeway ramp, was that the ramp near ArborLand strip mall? There's a big sign that is a big A. Just curious cuz I've been there quite a bit

+Vehicle Virgins Thanks Parker! I just got my permit two weeks ago so I will defiantly use these tips.
Defiantly? Or definitely.
can you do or do you already have a video on lane control? im not bad at driving but i have trouble staying in my lane, or more specifically, judging if i am in my lane. are their any rules of thumb, like left bumper on the yellow line or something like that? also, do you have anytips for driving on South Carolina roads? i have trouble controlling my car sometimes because of how bad the roads are.

Very helpful thanks!
This was a decent video! Minus the stay in center lane, though I knew what you meant.
your channel is very helpful
If you're not passing anyone don't stay in the middle lane; just move right.
Exactly
Actually on a 3 lane road the correct lane to drive on is the middle one. The left lane as we all know is for passing, the right lane is for exiting and entering the highway.
+Gabriel Neves David V. said it very well.
The slow lane is for trucks, tirs, caravans and slow cars; you would have to keep overtaking those and keep changing lane. That causes you to be in more danger and travel more slowly than keeping the middle lane.
In a 4 or more lane, been very rarely in one, so I don't know.
+David Vanderson but if there is no one to overtake just move all the way right to prevent undertaking. You can get a fine here in Germany if you hog the middle lane.
Hey Parker, novice driver here. I almost always stay too close to right of my lane, especially when there is traffic on left side. The problem is this is not intentional, and sometimes I go unconfortably close to right railings (we have a bit tight roads). Any tips on how can i center myself?
I'm driving on a highway tmrw for the first time bc of drivers ed. Thank you so much
hello, how you adjust your side view mirrors and im having trouble determining the car distance from the side mirrors . can you give suggestions thank you
I NEED YOUR HELP! I am looking for a s2000 for my first car. At the moment, I am 15 and a half years old. I've always loved motorsports and my dad frequents track days. I was wondering if it would be smart to learn on an s2k? I also was planning on modifying it so that while I was in college I could start to learn on the track. I have already taken racing schools. Is this smart or are my goals far fetched?
Hi my daughter has been having trouble with her temp test involving highway driving diagrams and questions do you have a video or any information she could watch that would help her more
Good advice !! U explained it good bro !!! For that Ima vote for Hilary !! Thanks for the advice

Thank you for this! I’ve only driven on the highway once since it scares me so bad
The flow of traffic rule is kind of up for grabs in my opinion. Here where I live everyone works for Microsoft and they all drive Prius' due to the long commute every day, so often times they coast anywhere from 15-5mph under the speed limit, with no bad conditions or reason.
Just an extra thought :P

Alright guys. I’m tired of living life scared of driving. I’ve had my license for almost 2 years and have only driven the highway twice so I always avoid them... no more! I’m going to drive on it tomorrow!
good luck!
how did it go ?
@@Grace-wi4nb good. I’ve driven to Chicago a few times which is an hour away. I feel pretty confident now
Bro this is exactly me ! I’ve had mine 3 years and only been on it TWICE I’m about go for it
@@RedTapeCrew how’d it go?
1) When entering the highway, FLOOR IT on the onramp until you're going the speed of traffic, THEN MERGE OVER.
2) Unless you are actively passing someone (or stuck in line waiting to pass), GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE LEFT LANE.
3) If you want to pass someone, accelerate up to the same speed as left-lane traffic, pass the slowpoke, then GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE LEFT LANE.
4) DO NOT drive the speed limit if everyone else is doing 15+ mph faster; you're just a relatively stationary obstacle and a danger to other motorists.
5) GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE LEFT LANE. Even if you drive 85mph, somebody else is still faster than you, just let them go.
Oh one tip that definitely needs to be said. Don't loiter in people's blind spots. That means don't stay in the lane next to a semi. That also means if there's a car in the next lane avoid being at the back quarter on either side and don't match their speed. (I'm always surprised by people who think it's a good idea to match my speed while their front fender is lined up with my back fender. A VERY dangerous move.)
i passed about 2 to 3 weeks ago thanks for all the tips
Most New Jersey drivers need this video as well
Thanks driving to Cape Cod in 2weeks kinda nervous new driver and I've been just driving TownE
Did you know in Finland your headlamps must be on when driving ? Mandatory day and at night. l like your video and how calm you drive and speak at the same time.🙂👌am a new driver and learning along the way...hihihi 😊
I love the highway!!
I adjusted my rear window spray too shoot straight back for tailgaters🤷🏾♂️
What I have to do when all the cars around are driving over the speed limit ? Should I stay on my lane with the speed limit ? Or I can go as fast as they are ??
The Fisheye Lens really accentuates the natural outward cross-eyedness everyone’s got lol. Very nice video for people just starting driving, man.
Always keep to the furthest right lane unless overtaking, unless traffic is backed up or traffic flow is heavy eg. in a large city.
I remember my first time on the highway I was on the ramp super sharp turn to Jump on the speed was like 20 I was going 60 because I thought I was on the highway 😂 I almost crashed but now I’ve learned
Man have to drive for two days straight tomorrow and haven’t been in the interstate yet. Pretty nervous, thanks for the tips
Hey man, did you sell the m5?
Technically, the left lane is supposed to be for passing other traffic only. It's certainly that way in Germany and it's strictly enforced unless there's extenuating circumstances like an accident or construction.
i like how its a completely different story on the autobahn :D
if you are going into the left lane on an unlimited part your going be eaten if your not doing at least a 150-200kph. and there is always an rs6 or a m5 doing 200+
thanks man. I'm 14 and I'm about to take my driving part for my permit. thanks!
We have 2 Highway lanes in Austria, we are supposed to drive on the right lane, merging to the left lane is for passing other vehicles.
