This can't be true-An American can drive an automatic as well a manuel gearshift car.

I'm the other way around. Put me in an automatic and I just sit there wondering what I still need to do.

As regards headlights and rain. I can't fathom how someone can drive without their lights on while pretty much everyone else is. Wouldn't one wonder why everybody has their lights on?

Day Light running lights were invented for people to stupid to read signs like Pennsylvania has that say "Work zone ahead. Turn on your lights"

Most vehicles turn the lights on when Wipers are activated now days. Again that's for the Stupid.
Hell. Some vehicles are incorporating automatic seat belts! You wonder why? STUPID!

In Denmark and Sweden the headlights turns on when the engines start or when the ignition is set to On(before Ignition)

My 2011 Truck detects daylight so lights are not on at all times.
It does NOT have Day light running lights.
Automatic lights if Wipers are turned on.
But it's 11 years old and stuck at that age level.

Different country or state - different traffic rules.

Remember the book of traffic rules I had to learn by memory around 200-250 pages which was needed for my theoretical exam.
(You must be approved in this exam before you can take the practical exam)

Probably not written in any Book here in the USA but I'm very confident once one Gets their Drivers License?
The don't give a Rat's Ass about rules becomes the rule they follow!
Here's a sample of my travels in the USA. And that's just the last couple years.

If those red dots indicate where you've been then you have been travelling a lot.

Yes. That's part of my job!

In the UK it is illegal to sound your horn while driving in a built-up area between the hours of 11.30 pm and 7.00 am.

The exception to the rule above is if another road user poses a genuine danger.

I didn't have a phone that tracked my where abouts back when We met.
That images shows where I have been starting when the Company provided me with a new fangled device.

Now that I have 2 fancy trackers? I'm gonna see what happens if I leave one at home while I travel!

I also have GPS installed on my dash Cams but it don't show where you've been. Just where any video was taken while driving.
And that's in coordinates.

Use of horn in general here in Denmark the rules says

"The car horn may only be used to prevent or avert danger. You must not use the horn to greet or to express anger with or to mark, for example, a wedding. - The horn must not be activated for longer than is absolutely necessary, which means that you can not just hold the horn in the bottom for several minutes."

Splashing pedestrians by a pool of water isn’t nice but mistakes happen. If you do, however, splash a pedestrian, it would be seen as careless and inconsiderate driving under the Road Traffic Act 1998. You could face a fine of £100 with 3 penalty points, or if taken to court – as much as £5000!

Jeff-Groves · 01-10-22, 02:33 PM

So......
When driving down the road with a defective windshield washer sprayer,
and you turn it on spraying a jet of cold water on a Guy on a bike,
and he freaks and crashes down into a puddle of Icy water when the temperature is around 20 F.
Is THAT illegal since you didn't hit the puddle and splash him?

(That's a TRUE story by the way!)
