If you don't know them, please learn them before you drive.
Something I found recently is that a lot of people drive like idiots. I have been the subject of some of these, and in fairness, I've driven like an idiot too... so I'm making a list of extra rules for people that think they can drive but inconvenience everyone around them.
2. Don't suddenly indicate or brake a second before your stop/turn if you knew you were going to perform the action before that. Indicate a couple seconds in advance, even if it's obvious that you're going to do something.
3. Don't stop in a position where you block everyone. If you're lost or confused, stop so that people have space to go around you.
4. Don't drive as fast as possible and give someone lights if they're in front of you when it's obvious that they can't move out of that lane safely. Even if it is safe for them to do so, it's not fair to force them to move behind a truck or something just to give you a gap. You're a douche.
5. Don't change lanes or take a turn without indicating. That's just bad manners.
6. It's a little less of a problem, but if you could indicate at a traffic circle, that'd make me feel a lot better, thanks.
7. If you're driving a huge truck, don't try and overtake everyone. Stay in your goddamn slow lane and understand that your vehicle is meant for slow speeds and should not be in the fast lane.
8. If you're driving a huge truck and are forced to overtake someone, don't do it if you're gonna block all the lanes for 5 minutes. Be considerate of the other people driving behind you.
9. Don't shoot through the traffic light at/after the last possible second if there's less visibility from the other directions. If you really have to, make sure everyone can see you first.
10. If your vehicle breaks down 5 meters from an artficial yellow road island thing, push it off the road first and then worry about whatever it is.
11. If your vehicle breaks down in a place that is not immediately visible from a distance, make people aware far in advance or move your vehicle to a better/safer position.
12. Don't stop 5cm behind the person in front of you. It's unnecessary stress on that person and if they falter and roll, your car will get damaged and will cause you inconvenience.
13. Don't text and drive if you aren't gonna watch the road. You will kill yourself and those around you.
14. Don't stay in the fast lane if you're thinking of staying under the speed limit. overtake and come back to the second lane (assuming there's 3 or more lanes, otherwise, you're fine if you're driving faster than those in the slow lane.)
15. You don't get preference because you're driving a better car.
16. Don't drive like an asshole just because you're a policeman.
17. Don't drive in the emergency lane to avoid traffic. You're being a dick. I hope nobody lets you back into the lane. People like you cause the traffic at offramps by making others stop to let you through.
18. Don't stop in the middle of the road to buy something from a guy on the street. Pull off somewhere.
19. Learn how to use a four-way stop. No, seriously. Go learn it. That's what happens if the traffic lights stop working. One row of cars at a time should go. Whichever car got there first is the next to take their turn to go. Don't be a dick and try to rush through behind someone else. Don't be an idiot and wait forever.
20. Someone's stuck trying to get into a specific lane? Let that poor guy through. You could make his day. Plus there's traffic behind him while he's waiting.
Bonus
21. Expect everyone else to do the wrong thing. Be cautious and stuff.
