How can you learn to drive smart?
Driving is a necessary task that millions of people worldwide take for granted every day. But as our world becomes increasingly complex, so too does driving. And because we rely on cars to get us to and from work, school, and other important places, we must learn to drive smart. In this article, we will teach you the basics of driving smart so that you can stay safe on the roads. From learning how to anticipate traffic jams to staying aware of your surroundings at all times, we’ll have you well on your way to being a safe driver.
The Basics of Driving
There are a few things you need to know before you can start learning to drive. First, you need to get your driver’s license. Then, you will need to download and install the MyDriving Skills app from the App Store or Google Play store. This app is designed to help you learn how to drive smart. With it, you can access interactive driving exercises that will help you practice your skills. You can also join online communities that focus on different aspects of driving, such as defensive driving or traffic safety. Finally, attend a driver training class accredited by the National Safety Council (NSC). This will give you the best chance of becoming a safe driver.
Defensive Driving
To become a good driver, you need to be aware of the dangers on the road. Defensive driving can help you stay safe while behind the wheel. Here are some tips for defensive driving:
· Follow all traffic laws: When driving, always obey all traffic laws. This includes obeying stop signs and lights, staying in your lane, and not cutting in line. Failing to obey these rules could lead to a ticket or worse.
· Obey signals: Always watch for the green light when approaching a stoplight or traffic signal. Stop at the yellow light if it is clear, but do not wait until the red light flashes before stopping. This will let other drivers know that you intend to stop and may cause them to brake too soon.
· Signal your turns: When making a turn, always use a signal. This will let other drivers know your direction and allow them time to avoid getting hit by your car. Make sure your turn signals work and are visible from both directions before turning.
· Use headlights when necessary: Driving at night can be dangerous, so always use your headlights when it is dark outside. If you have to drive during daylight hours, use your high beams only when necessary and keep your eyes focused on the road ahead.
· Stay alert: It is important to stay alert while driving, no matter how tired you are. Be particularly careful near intersections and busy roads or highways where there may be more traffic. If you need to take a break from driving, pull over to a safe location and wait until you feel more alert.
Learning to Drive Safely on the Road
Learning to drive safely on the road can seem daunting, but with some preparation and practice, it can be a breeze. Here are some tips for becoming a smart driver:
1. Familiarize yourself with the rules of the road. Most states have specific rules about when and where you can drive, so it’s important to know what they are before you go on the road. Pay attention to signage and avoid driving in areas designated as no-drives zones.
2. Practice makes perfect. If you want to be a good driver, you need to practice! Take your driving skills for a test drive and see how well you do in different situations. This will help you develop reflexes and improve your overall driving ability.
3. Stay focused on the task at hand. When you’re behind the wheel, don’t get caught up in daydreaming or looking at other drivers – keep your eyes forward and focus on the road! This will help prevent accidents and save you time and money later.
4. Follow all traffic signals properly. When approaching intersections or turning corners, always obey all traffic signals – even if they seem confusing at first glance! This will keep you safe and save other drivers time and hassle.
What can you do to improve your driving skills?
If you're looking to improve your driving skills, there are a few things you can do. First, make sure to practice regularly. Driving is a skill that can be improved with practice, so take the time to get out there and drive safely.Another way to improve your driving skills is to review your driving record. Look for any incidents or accidents involving your vehicle, and see if you could have done anything differently to avoid them. Reviewing your records lets you learn what mistakes you're most likely to make and how to avoid them.Finally, remember that driving smart isn't only about following traffic laws. It's also about being alert and aware of your surroundings. Stay focused on the road ahead, and don't take shortcuts that could put you at risk. Using these tips, you can learn how to drive smart and stay safe on the roads.
Conclusion
Driving smart is about being aware of your surroundings and making the most informed decisions when you get behind the wheel. By following these simple tips, you can ensure that you are driving safely and efficiently, no matter how much experience you have behind the wheel. Remember always to wear a seatbelt, use your mirrors and keep an eye out for pedestrians – by doing these things; you will be able to stay safe while driving and learn how to drive smart at the same time! Thank you for reading! We hope our articles on topics like these have provided some helpful insights into what might be helpful when it comes to styling or living a healthier lifestyle. If there is anything else we can do to assist, please don't hesitate to let us know.

youtube
its not very GOOD but i DID finish it unlike MOST of my ANIMATIONS
that is ALL i will now go back MASH content. i just wanted to give context for my current banner that i made for pride month. i am proud of at least 3 of those.
#i have many talents. most of them useless. most of them gathered for fun.#example; i am currently learning to juggle so that my brain does not start growing mold#i learned sfm because i really wanted to animate that one interaction between ellis and nick#'what kinda car you drive' “your moms car” 'well see that was just uncalled for. serious.'#never finished that animation but i DID learn a lot. and now im so cool and smart#some of these were done in conjunction with my sibling where shed draw a sketch and id make it real#some i spent 6 hours on. some i spent 1 on. you can probably tell which is which#the one on the stage took forever because of the particles#i hate particles in sfm with all the passion in my heart#i will now tag correctly to bother everyone#sfm poster#tf2 sfm#sfm art#sfm render#source filmmaker#sfm#ellis l4d2#nick l4d2#l4d2#coach l4d2#rochelle l4d2#left 4 dead 2#tf2 fanart#tf2#not tagging all the mercs i refuse to do that#sfm animation#shh dont tell anyone but the one with ellis and the guitar was made so i could have a thumbnail for my country music playlist#ok loveyou goodnight

I feel like this says so MUCH.
can Pixar stop thinking about the audience plz
i'm tired of being catered to
#sarcasm obvs but also...not really#I think my favourite pixar movies are the ones that are just...stories the director and the team wanted to tell#and then they waited to see what the world thought of it#and then the more they've learned about what's done WELL and what's performed best the more they start to try and use that knowledge#to drive success#which is so smart and anyone would do the same#but nOT MIYAZAKI#it's an interesting conversation and i don't think there's a right way and a wrong way here#my ramblings#hayao miyazaki#pete docter

Listen I understand why some people disagree bc I love them as characters but personally I don’t particularly want another full season with the Bad Kids. I will watch it if they do one, but I feel like not only have the characters reached the natural conclusions of their arcs, the Intrepid Heroes have all grown so much as players from when Fantasy High came out like 5 years ago that I think it would feel a bit disingenuous. Like Ally had never played D&D before Fantasy High, and Kristen was played accordingly. Ally even said in Starstruck “no more bumbling Kristen shit”
All that being said I wouldn’t mind a short season (up to 10 eps) for junior/senior year or for the IH to do live shows of the characters. I would love a cross over season between Fantasy High and the Seven or even PirOL, I think that could be fun.
#Riz found his babysitter made a bunch of friends became a liscensed PI and resolved stuff with his dad#Fabian learned to be his own personal outside of his fathers shadow disavowed toxic masculinity and embraced his elven heritage#Fig went from not knowing her bio dad and having a bad relationship with her mom and adoptive dad to having good relationships will all of#them and she became a famous rockstar and got a gf#Gorgug found his dad got a girlfriend and faced his fears about not being smart while becoming closer to his adoptive parents#he managed to learn about communication and friendship and himself#Adaine went from having a shitty relationship with her abusive parents and sister to killing her dad driving her mother to insanity to#die in a magic forest and befriended her sister. she got adopted by a better dad and got her mental illness diagnosed and treated#Kristen is the only one who I think has some growth left in terms of no longer being a jokester sex obsessed teen with unresolved parental#trauma. that being said Kristen did get deprogrammed from her church realize she’s a lesbian move out and found her own church and discover#a whole ass god#I love all those characters. I don’t think another season is what they need#cienna talks#fantasy high

Jenkins 😍#on a completely unrelated note...#I need to learn more about pocket squares and ties.#because it's already driving me insane when they don't go together on night court but it's much worse on the librarians where I can actually#like. see stuff lol#I don't mean 'oh no the colour isn't an exact match'. more like 'these patterns and/or colours look fucking bad together'#but maybe there's like. reasons for that. rules that my silly little brain isn't smart enough to figure out#because all I'm basing that on is. my eyes and my opinion lol#anyway he's so baby. 🥰 and I definitely like him better now. very very huggable.#he takes that suit jacket off and I'm like 🥵#man I feel so weird about this :') but I must talk about it anyway or I will never get over that :)#like it just feels like. ohh this is weird I'm not supposed to think he's hot because he's old 😬 but he just. is 🤷#anyway touching his ears would fix me man it totally would#*with my mouth also. but whatever it's cool I'm not thinking about that#no haha why would I be thinking about it that :)#or when he sits on that table sometimes and I totally don't think about how I absolutely need to sit in his lap :)#haha noo I'm not thinking about fucking him at all who even brought that up#anyway i am very tired & have already taken my sleep meds so I am extra stupid rn :) and the dumb thoughts just keep coming out

My mom: “You and your dad are so intelligent! Emotionally and socially! You are also both great at picking up subtext, asking questions and understanding writers intent. And best of all you both can explain it all to basically anyone!”
My dad: “I don’t know if in that intelligent..”
Me: “Thanks but… I think your wrong-“
My mom: *internal screaming because her two Nurodivergent love ones are underestimating how good they are at things and the world because they’re to harsh on themselves*
#not kidding#my mom tells me all the time and it sounds like I’m smarter (emotionally) than some of the men she works with#it drive my mom nuts because we are like ‘we’re okay..’#whenever I get told I’m smart or a good talker I’m like ‘no… everyone is like this’#my dad emphasizes that he isn’t that smart even though he knows more about music and movies than anyone I know#he’s also great with people because he used to be a crisis counselor#me and my dad both know what we don’t know and that makes us like ‘we aren’t that smart’#side note my dad is where I got my autism#this man has spent his whole life learning about theatre music and movie effects#but like thanks mom for making us be quiet and actually think about how much we know#i love my family#shitpost

Velial Telren, at age 21, is already part of the elite of Nesean wizards.
He wishes to study spatial magic. Has wished so his entire life. He is incredibly competitive and skilled and works relentlessly towards his goals.
Spatial magic, however, is not a field open to just anyone. It is highly volatile and dangerous, and, crucially, only a court wizard can do actual work on the subject outside of theory. And theory is good, certainly, but it's not what's going to bring leaps forwards, at least according to Velial.
So he works to become the court wizard.
He is told, years before he's a wizard, that it's impossible. No one in their right mind wants to become court wizard unless they have some kind of strong attachment to the royal family. He shrugs and gets back to work.
Velial Telren, at age 21, is the youngest court wizard Neseah has ever known.
He's been better than anyone else on technical, theoretical, and practical tests. He has lists and lists of ideas, of theories to protect not only the royal family but the kingdom itself, and despite barely knowing them he gains their trust incredibly fast.
And so he asks to take the oath.
King Nelvaren and queen Nakaveh are hesitant despite their trust in the young man - he is only twenty-one. Taking an oath like this is no small undertaking. It would, quite literally, weigh on him for his entire life unless it was broken by a royal or by his own skill and willpower - something incredibly hard to do even for the best wizards.
But he assures them this is what he has wanted his entire life and they relent.
Velial Telren, at age 21, is the sole expert on spatial magic in Neseah who is allowed practical experiments as well as theoretical.
And he shares his findings with the rest of academia and participates in lectures and discourse and seminars.
He's bound to the royal family of Neseah for his entire life, and he considers this duty worth it.
However, Velial Telren has a problem.
At the height of twenty-one years of age, the oldest he's ever been, the smartest he's ever been, the most knowledgeable he's ever been...
Velial has beef with a 14 year old with too much wits for his own good.
#this post got long LOL#my writing#velial telren#the fall of neseah#maran of neseah#(but like only mentioned at the end)#this is so fucking funny to me#you devote your life to a family. but you can't stand their 14 year old#there's a few complicated things at play here tbh#including the fact that unlike his own family; the royal family isn't particularly encouraging Maran to be the bestest at what he's doing#they've learned their lesson with Laevna; Renia and Elyzen#and all of the siblings basically band around the younger idiot and go nuh huh nope he's not getting pressured into shit#and so Maran just does whatever he wants and it happens to b magic#and Velial is So so seething by the fact that this kid with clear talent and who's so smart is Not the competitive type#'where is your ambition!!! where is your drive to win!!!'#'i made a construct today mr telren :)'#incredible.#hey velial uh. wanna unpack some things about being a gifted kid and pushed to your limits always#and believing it should also how the world works for everyone

Contemplating the concept of "potential" when it comes to intelligence and realizing how heartbreaking Logan's "Dreams come true, that's news to me" line in the Crofters Musical.
#screaming into the void#definitely not okay today lads#i'm finding myself grieving my intelligence and contemplating if it was ever there to begin with#when i was younger i excelled in science so everyone assumed that i was a gifted kid despite my very obvious struggles in math and spelling#i was told over and over if i could just apply myself to other subjects the way i did with science#then i would do better in those subjects and reach my full potential#my identity was hung on my intelligence for me by the adults in my life none of them even considering a learning disability#now as an adult it all feels meaningless#especially having been forced into going to college where it was made very quickly and abundantly clear that I wasn't actually gifted#i was just average#that was absolutely devastating to me and it's a thing i struggle with and i want to be angry about it but i dont know how to be#i was told over and over in childhood that i could be anything when i grew up that i could do anything if i just put my mind to it#then recieved little to no actual educational support for any of it especially when i discovered writing#and i dont know if i was never as smart as i was told i was or never even had the potential i was told i had#or if i just didnt have enough support#i dont believe in myself anymore and i dont think i was ever actually believed in by the adults in my life either#i think they would have supported me better if they had#or maybe they just didnt know how to#my dad has wondered and questioned me about where my drive ans passion went and i dont have the heart to tell him that#it evaporated when he told me i wouldn't be successful as a writer when he told me that i would only be successful by going to college#when he constantly questioned everything i did and made me doubt myself over and over again#i dont know how to combat this feeling of worthlessness that comes from feeling lied to about my intelligence as a kid#i dont know how to comfort myself in the face of realizing i probably didnt have all then potential i was promised i had#and even if i did at one point have it i lacked the support necessary to nuture and grow it#how does one grieve being promised the world only to find out that was never truly an option?#how does one become comfortable with learning and growing again when it's been made to feel unsafe#and a threat to their frail sense of identity?#how does one find peace and contentment in an ordinary life when they were promised so much more?#not just promised so much more but expected to be so much more and now feel the weight of expectation on them?#i feel like i was promised the world and told that it would be easy to conquer and when it wasnt it was due to my own fault and failings

i made a new sim im obsessed with yall might have to deal w fanart of her sorryyyyy
#shes a spellcaster whos hyper fixation is brewing potions#shes also hugely autistic about fishing#her drive to be incredibly smart and her own self assuredness and neurodivergence has left her severely alienated#shes rude and strong headed and focused only on her goals so she has no friends and quite a few sims hate her#her familiar is one of the little pin cushion dolls and theyre both soooo obnoxious#her home is a tiny cabin up on a rlly tall hill with stones and a huge tree around it#and its going to gradually degrade as she ages until its full shwamp. just nasty.#her hairs going to grow out and become steadily more disheveled... her outfits lazier....#until shes a swamp hag rumored to be up on the ridge... no ones seen her in two decades now theyre not sure shes even still up there#til a new kid comes around and buys the property. he finds her grave and has to confront his own mediumship#bc her ghost keeps trying to evict him as he tidies up and renovates her tiny shitty cabin!#cleaning the land up to make something pretty out of it!#and eventually she relaxes and shares her wisdom with him bc who else ever got to learn what she did? she never spoke to anyone

ESL class will really show you how ridiculous our language is to try and learn. Like yeah, why DO we say "take a bath" when it's autonomous and "give a bath" when it's about taking care of a baby or a pet. We don't say "give myself a bath" unless it's a real and usually vaguely ironic emphasis on self care. It's not the natural flow of the words, but nor do we use the verb "bathe" in everyday speech.
#The teacher partners me with her problem students#And those problem students are very smart they just want to focus more on natural sounding language#They don't want to answer 'yes I did' and 'no I didn't'#They want to answer 'no I did this other thing instead' or 'yes I did it before coming to class'#The problem is (for one of them) that he keeps speaking up with suggestions of more expansive ways to respond#But because he hasn't actually learned them yet he ends up derailing#And he likes attention so he doesn't get too apologetic about it#It's better that I sit with him and do the work with him because I'll have time the teacher doesn't to explain some of those things#He drives the teacher crazy precisely because the inability to do individual work is her least favorite part of doing a class#I can relate#I'm much better one on one#adventures in tefl

Mfw unethical doctor/scientist character
#honestly they can be any stereotypically ‘smart’ job as long as they’re also extremely unhinged under the surface#because it’s like they damn well KNOW what they’re doing is bad but they simply have such a drive to learn more information that they don’t#care#or they even have a bigger motive that they use their position of power as an extremely knowledgeable and trusted person to get what they#want#I love you evil smart characters

Belphie is a super smart baby who has learned that everyone gets mad when he play-pounces on Pangur, so his strategy of terrorizing Pangur without incurring conseuqences is to run past her super fast (and super close) and then keep running. so Pangur will go "GRAAR" and I'll go "NO!" and he'll already be 14 miles away in the next country
the baby is learning not to go near Pangur
#he is SMART#it doesn't take long at all for him to learn that he's not supposed to do something#but unfortunately he has a criminal's mind and a baby's impulse control#this 'drive by bothering' has been his strat for the past two days

Actually it is SO weird to me to remember that I was an engineering student and that later on I had been pursuing a minor in statistics
I may be a IT & com person in the end, but I do have the foundations of engineering and statistics in my brain too. Wild !
#speculation nation#if i hadnt liked coding so much i probably wouldve still been an engineer.#like my school does a first year engineering track where u learn the basics and then explore different engineering options#so by ur second year u choose your official track and that decides the rest of your schooling.#and id been thinking about computer & electrical engineering. often goes hand in hand.#guys i couldve been an electrical engineer. honestly that wouldve been so cool. wasnt meant to be tho 👍#i took a coding class my 2nd semester. first experience with coding. it was in C. i LOVED it.#and it got me comparing computer engineering and computer science and i decided that i wanted to do computer science#but well the intro course for that fucking sucked. didnt wanna go back to engineering either bc i hated engineering lol#im smart enough but it's fuckin soul sucking man.#eventually tho i found my way to my current home. im a techie :3 and im happy with that.#anyways do i seem like the kind of person who was into engineering and statistics? sometimes it's weird for me to remember.#but i did spent Years assuming id end up as an engineer. my grandpa was one. my dad was studying to be one b4 he dropped out#and my sister is one. just kinda runs in the family i guess. & so i was So Sure that was where i was going.#took. an engineering class in high school and everything. taught me some good foundational skills in modeling#also was the class that let me develop my signature. bc we had a notebook we had to sign the top of every day#so me doing my signature over and over again. i decided to use it as an opportunity to make it My Own. rather than just my name in cursive.#so yeah im a techie that talks good but i do have that math brain. engineering basis. statistics knowledge.#kinda feel like a jack of all trades (master of none) with it all. but see thats a good thing for companies (i hope)#ive got foundational knowledge of many things. and i am Adaptable. they can teach me the in depth shit i need to know themselves.#and i Also have my work experience in management... which i hope will help my case when applying to companies too.#aaaahhh!!! so many things to think about!!! but at the end of the day i am smart & educated and i will be a good asset to any company i join#i just need to convince them of that 😂 but i can probably figure something out. something !!!#i will graduate college and get some kind of IT job that pays decently & work my way up to maybe someday being an IT manager or smth#i can finally start. truly growing up. instead of being stuck in forever college unable to drive myself anywhere.#have my IT job and a car and the ability to do Whatever i want.... god i want it so bad.#im just daydreaming by this point. god im so excited to finally graduate college.
