What are the do's and don'ts of driving?
I want to become a better driver after getting a speeding ticket last week. My mom told me that they used to learn the do’s and don’ts of driving in driver’s ed and they were super helpful. What are some of the do’s and don’ts of driving a car?

Moms are full of great knowledge! Learning the do’s and don’ts of driving can definitely make you a
safer driver
. So if that’s your goal, here are the do’s and don’ts of driving:Do’s
- Do wear your seat belt.
- Do obey posted speed limits.
- Do increase your following distance in bad weather.
Don’ts
- Don’t tailgate.
- Don’t engage in street racing or road rage.
- Don’t drive distracted.
- Don’t drink and drive.
A final don’t of driving a car is getting behind the wheel without
car insurance
. Not only is it illegal in most states, but you can also get a ticket and fine. However, it can get expensive, especially with a recent speeding ticket. So if you find that your car insurance has increased, download the Jerry
