Car #1

If you want to be a successful and efficient driver in the state of Florida, here are some tips and guidelines for you to follow:

At A Stop

• Any time you are at a stop, and about to go, hit the gas. Don’t ease it in, just press the pedal to the floor until you hit the speed you’re looking for (which should be no less than 15 over the speed limit), otherwise you’re wasting precious time.

• Do not stop at a red light if you're turning right, unless some asshole is actually coming in your direction and can possibly hit you if you don't think your car is fast enough. If you do see a car coming, and it's fairly close, but you are pretty sure hitting the gas will accelerate your car enough to get to at least the speed limit before he makes it to your rear, then go ahead. You know they'll just switch lanes when they see you pull out anyway, thinking they're going to pass you, but then you'll show them who's the leader of the line by going faster.
• If you are at a red light, and it turns green, and the person in front of you doesn't budge within a couple of seconds, lay on the horn. Even if there are people in front of the person in front of you, lay it on. They might flick you off, but are bound to honk as well.
• Always, always, stop within a foot of the car in front of you.

Passing

• When driving, it is important to always be ahead of everyone else. In order to do so, you often must pass the people who obviously don't know how to drive as well as you do. The problem is, they usually don't want you to get in front. So when preparing to pass, get close to the bumper of your opponent and swerve into the next lane, never laying off the gas. If you think the car in your blind spot might be a little close, flick your blinker (no more than one time; the reason shall be discussed in a moment) and swerve.
  
• Now, if you see someone coming up on your rear, and you suspect they are going to try to get in front of you, your choice is to 1) wait for them to swerve into the next lane, then hit your gas to prevent them from getting in front of you, or 2) when they switch lanes, switch at the same time.
  
• Never allow your blinker to blink more than once. If you do, all other drivers will speed up to prevent you from switching lanes due to the possibility of your being in front of them.

Speed

• Never do the speed limit. What they mean by "Speed Limit" is that that is the slowest anyone should go, which is often way too slow. The best minimum speed, is 15 over the limit.
• When driving on a freeway/highway, only stay in the right lane if you are doing the speed limit. If you're driving like you're supposed to be (about 90 in a 65, for example), keep to the left.
  
• There is a common misunderstanding about the signs that read, "Slower Traffic Keep Right," where people seem to think that the left lane is a passing lane to get around those who are going slower. This is ridiculous. Clearly the left lane is the "fast lane," and exists to pay absolutely no mind to the speed limit whatsoever.
  
• Neighborhoods, parking lots, 95; it never matters where you are, just don't go so slow.
  

For now, these guidelines and tips should help you become driver number one in any traffic situation.
