Any tips? What really annoys you when you're on the road? What do you appreciate?

Also: Kapitan_Phillips won't let me drive him around when he comes! He says he doesn't trust new drivers. Is this stupid? y/n?

Always drive low to make your profile not attracting unwanted attention, and hide behind the terrain. when the dachshounds look at your face at same eye level when you ask them for the way, you do it right. When other drivers are on your six, barrel-roll and let them have it, or make them seeing you turning into a warp-jump line. The fun-pedal is to the right, the party killer in the middle, the left pedal is useless since you need only one gear anyway - the highest. Just know that once you left the parking lot you are on your own - in traffic nobody can hear you scream. the proper style to safely drive your car around is to have both feet cramped to the inside, tongue hanging out to the left side of the mouth (so that the slobber flies out the window and can't ruin the interior), staring red eyes close the windshield and the left middle finger in upward attack position. That way, some drivers safely make it home. Always grab the initiative. And that traffic cops are your friends, is an urban legend. They are rolling pain. The only way they ever should see you is in their rear mirror, panicking. If you come to a halt due to a cop, you then know what separates a good driver from a bad one, and that you still have a lot to learn.

But if you drive as I tell you, you will collect plenty of experience soon.
