Drive Theory Test

  For people in the United States, regulations differ from state to state. In general, there is nothing hard to get a driver's license, just a matter of time and practice with guidance from elder people. Since there is no universal tests, one cannot easily find on-line resources about driving in the United States. dmv.org is a good place for this kind of information.
  For people in UK, the The key to getting a driver's license is to pass the theory test first.
  Books of guide (e.g. "The Official Theory Test for Car Drivers and The Highway Code" for UK)are available for this purpose, but I found it hard to locate online resources, especially free ones.
  There are some fantastic sites for UK theory test (e.g. theorytest.net). Direct.gov offset details on everything about getting a driver's license.

  Below are some quick tips on driving in the United States.
One needs to STOP before this sign, not just speed down.
Stop signs are commonly deployed as supposed safety measures in residential areas and near places where children play or walk (such as schoolyards), or which experience frequent automobile accidents, making extra precautions necessary (wikipedia)
One "must prepare to stop if necessary to let a driver on another approach proceed." (wikipedia)
There is no need to stop, neither slow down upon approaching a railroad intersection.
This is officially called "High-occupancy vehicle lane", also called an HOV lane or carpool lane. It is a lane reserved for vehicles with a driver and one or more passengers. These lanes are also known as commuter lanes, restricted lanes, diamond lanes, express lanes. Bus lanes may not necessarily be intended for use by carpools.
Cannot turn red when the traffic light is red. Some signs simply says "NO TURN ON RED". This, sometimes not being obvious, tends to be missed even by local drivers. But once get caught, a serious fine of a few hundred dollars will be applied. More importantly, it can be deadly if not observed.


No alcohols in the car, not even empty cans or bottles!!!

No littering from the car!!!

When overtaking a bicycle, must leave a 1.5m space from the bicycle!!!

When a school bus is presenting STOP sign, all cars in the same direction must stop. For roads without division fixtures, cars in the opposite direction must also stop!!!

Keep right, when there is no car lanes.

Always turn on the headlight during night time!!!

Must fasten the seat belt!!!

When stopping at an intersection, including at a 4-way stop, always yield to the car that approached first.

When turning left, either the left arrow turns green, or when there is no error signals, when the light turns green

Can turn right even when it is red light, but must yield to the cars on another approach!!!

Finally, for safety, Always lock the door!!!
