It is definitely intimidating for new drivers. I’ve been driving for 3 years now and it took an entire year and a half for me to feel brave enough to regularly drive on the highway alone.

"Unfortunately in a state like Michigan where everyone is tailgating each other..." That's an understatement. It's not tailgating, it's trading paint.

Here because I'm scared af to drive on the highway 😂😂😂 I drive everyday but I don't gotta go on the highway to get to my destination

As a pointer to anybody learning to drive, I just recently drove on the highway for the first time, its intimidating, but a big tip is to stay calm and be aware. Yes everyone was overtaking me, the speed limit was 55 and I barely did 60, but I did it since I wasn't fully comfortable. Its not nearly as hard as it can seem

How to drive on the freeway Step 1. Enter freeway Step 2. Drive on freeway Step 3. Exit on appropriate exit

Oh God I'm 21 and the freeway is that one dragon I need to slay. It's too scary for me for whatever reason

My heart goes out to people driving on California freeways 😂😂

My struggle is lane changing makes me soo nervous!!! Checking the rearview and side view mirrors and not trying to steer in another lane WHILE ALSO trying to pay attention to what's in front of me😣😣😣😭😭😭the struggle.

I’m fine with freeway driving for the most part. For me, in the beginning it’s just getting on that’s scary with everyone going fast.

*The most important principle of highway driving: don't let someone who doesn't know how to control a supercar drive your Gallardo.*

Your vids seem to get a lot of shitty comments but just wanted to say I appreciate you making them. Will help a lot of newbie drivers.

I WISH US ALL LUCK BOYS AND GIRLS - WE GOT THIS

With the number of people that either die or get injured in car accidents you'd think people would take not dying in a violent car wreck more seriously. I've just started driving and people drive like maniacs. The 3 second rule you mentioned makes sense. You don't actually know what's going to happen with the car in front of you. They can slam on the breaks for any number of reasons. Human beings are not fortune tellers, but we act like we are. And also, like you said, if I follow the 3 second rule people WILL cut in front of me. I've had someone cut in front of me where it made NO SENSE. There was literally no room for them and they almost crashed into the side of my car trying to squeeze their way in. So I had to slow down, then the person tailgating behind me almost rear ended me. People are so fucking stupid. For the average person driving is the most dangerous thing we do and yet they drive like they're all suicidal.

this video really, REALLY helped me out. i’m struggling to handle the highway, especially following times/distances, but you explain things so well. thank you!!!

Not just for highway driving, but you should put your indicator on to change lanes as soon as when you want to change lanes. A lot of people do all the mirror checks and then indicate and change lanes immediately after. By indicating as soon as possible, this lets other drivers around you know that you want to change lanes and some nice drivers will even make room for you, especially in heavy traffic. No one's going to make room for you when they don't know what you're doing. Also, people not merging at highway speeds is the most irritating thing I see on the road, especially when you're stuck behind them because then you also have to try and merge when all the other cars are going much faster and it's just an all-round unsafe situation. Worst thing I ever saw was someone had come to a complete stop in the merging lane at the end of the on-ramp. It's so terribly moronic it blows my mind. It makes me wonder how they passed their driving test.

I'm driving to a music festival for the first time in my life as I usually fly to them or ride with others on the road. Been freaking myself about it all, driving on highways and out of state for the first time. Definitely a big thing for me cause I got my license at 26 (I'm 28) due to such fear of driving. Lol huge growth us about to come

I got my license yesterday & today when I was getting on the highway I went all the way to the left lane & almost caused an accident :( & now I can't stop thinking about it .. I don't even wanna drive nomore

2:33 extremely accurate, good old Michigan driving.

Me to everyone: "My name is Ana. And i am afraid of driving on the highway" Everyone: "Hello Ana!, welcome Ana!"

People should really obey the "no driving in the left lane" rules Every day I have to pass people that are going 5-10 under, while they are in the "passing lane"

Bro I'm shitting myself just thinking about driving on a highway

How to drive on the highway: Just floor it.

A good rule of thumb. Don't drive while making a video and looking at the camera every couple of seconds. Distracted driving is just as dangerous as drunk driving.

Awesome tips for a non-driver as well. Thank you for the video.

Thank you do much . You really explained it so well and so detailed on every aspect . You answered all my questions . I appreciate you so much Blessings to you always ❤️🙏🏻

In Northern Virginia don't bother matching speed on the entrance ramp, highways are always backed up with traffic. Please people, stop moving here.

I actually subscribed to your channel last summer after watching your "how to drive stick" playlist, great videos! They were a lot of help for my driver's test

About to take my first trip on the highway. 602 miles round trip. Thank you for this video. Very helpful.

This was an interesting peek into the realm of U.S traffic laws and driving culture in general. Here in Finland the amount of overspeeding is measured by how many % of the legal speed limit one overspeeds. For an example doing 20km/h over the 120km/h limit on a freeway on a bright july day leaves you with a ticket and the amount depends on your growth income rate.. But if you do 70km/h on rural 50km/h speed limit street with pedestrian crossings and a kindergarten close by, it's very possible they take your license and slam you with a big fat fine that takes about a year for a normal person to pay off.. And heer practically nobody slows down on a construction bit of the road.. People blast right through with 130km/h in the clock even the limit had dropped down to 60km/h.. I think the cops don't wanna radar those juicy spots 'cause instantly there would be a line of cars two miles long for everybody having their licenses revoked and fined for 5000€.. :D

Thanks for the tips I will be taking my driving test Friday pretty excited.

Thank you for making this video bro, you've really helped me out.

It's tricky a bit at first...but if u keep ur eyes open and pay close attention to ur surroundings AT ALL TIME...then u would ace it...i drove on the highway by myself the fist time..4 lanes ...i was nervous lol...now it's part of my everyday life...it's fun.

You should do a simple video on how to set your side and rear view mirrors. When correctly set for many cars there is no blind spot at all, and a lot of people tend to miss this.

I thank you for all these videos you upload especially these ones.

If you're not passing anyone don't stay in the middle lane; just move right.

Yeeees!! It’s the speeds that make me afraid. I have my license and just now starting to get on the express way because I have to

Your name is Parker lol and you love to drive lmao car puns

Thanks for making this video! Perfect timing.....

These are the vids I subscribed for. Thnx

I thought that was michigan because of the highway signs. Great video, will be sure to remember!

you sound just like taylor lautner. I love it. and thank you for this video

Love how parker is doing this right on the highway i drive on everyday

Perfect video. Everyone should see this

Great video, road rules in the US make no sense though, it should be keep furthest right unless overtaking, what is the point in having majority of the traffic in the 2nd to outside Lane? The UK has keep left unless overtaking and our traffic police are finally starting to nick people who sit in the middle lanes for no reason... Love your videos 👌

Best tip for driving on the highway. Buy a Hyundai Accent

Also, know where construction zones are (if any) on your route because the speed of traffic can go from ex. 60mph to 0mph very quickly. This goes for any accidents on your route as well.

Heyyy, bout to get my learner's permit. Thanks for the extra tips bro

Excellent! Thanks.

This was a decent video! Minus the stay in center lane, though I knew what you meant.

Pretty good instructional video m8!

Very helpful thanks!

Thank you for this video 👍

3:23. Which car?

+Vehicle Virgins Thanks Parker! I just got my permit two weeks ago so I will defiantly use these tips.

Great video thank you.

You already know what it is, scare of highway. That’s why I am here watching this video posted for over 4 years now. My license is on the way. I have been driving around the neighborhood. Take my daughter to school but I now want to break the fear and go to my cousin’s house to hang out but there is one thing I have to drive on the highway to go there. She doesn’t want to come over because she wants me to break the fear! I will break that fear in Jesus name 🙏.

Alright guys. I’m tired of living life scared of driving. I’ve had my license for almost 2 years and have only driven the highway twice so I always avoid them... no more! I’m going to drive on it tomorrow!

Good advice !! U explained it good bro !!! For that Ima vote for Hilary !! Thanks for the advice

Next on Vehicle Virgins: How to turn a steering wheel

The Fisheye Lens really accentuates the natural outward cross-eyedness everyone’s got lol. Very nice video for people just starting driving, man.

Oh one tip that definitely needs to be said. Don't loiter in people's blind spots. That means don't stay in the lane next to a semi. That also means if there's a car in the next lane avoid being at the back quarter on either side and don't match their speed. (I'm always surprised by people who think it's a good idea to match my speed while their front fender is lined up with my back fender. A VERY dangerous move.)

Perfect. Thank u very much

My driving test is next month. I'm so excited

0:25 that cobalt/gtr was interesting

Next video: how not to spin out and crash a Lamborghini

Also watch out In Tennessee and Georgia 90% of drivers never use their turn signal. I was driving from Illinois.

your channel is very helpful

1) When entering the highway, FLOOR IT on the onramp until you're going the speed of traffic, THEN MERGE OVER. 2) Unless you are actively passing someone (or stuck in line waiting to pass), GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE LEFT LANE. 3) If you want to pass someone, accelerate up to the same speed as left-lane traffic, pass the slowpoke, then GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE LEFT LANE. 4) DO NOT drive the speed limit if everyone else is doing 15+ mph faster; you're just a relatively stationary obstacle and a danger to other motorists. 5) GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE LEFT LANE. Even if you drive 85mph, somebody else is still faster than you, just let them go.

Thank you so so much God bless you

Great video bud justt one question or tip for me, so im scared to while be driving in the highway pass my exit for example wantimg to turn but there being no chance like the drivers didnt give me a chance so i missed my exit. Also im frightened to make turns in the highway while going at fast speeds im worried of turning to hard and making the vehicle go over any tips or suggestions on these questions? I would really appreciate it but great excellent video buddy!!!

I'm driving on a highway tmrw for the first time bc of drivers ed. Thank you so much

Thank you for this! I’ve only driven on the highway once since it scares me so bad

Most New Jersey drivers need this video as well

I live in Michigan and yeah that sums up how it is to drive on any of our roads

Hey Parker. How should ones side mirrors be adjusted? How much of your car should you be able to see

Did you know in Finland your headlamps must be on when driving ? Mandatory day and at night. l like your video and how calm you drive and speak at the same time.🙂👌am a new driver and learning along the way...hihihi 😊

in new jersey its impossible to maintain a 2-3 second following distance. 😂😂

I remember my first time on the highway I was on the ramp super sharp turn to Jump on the speed was like 20 I was going 60 because I thought I was on the highway 😂 I almost crashed but now I’ve learned

i like how its a completely different story on the autobahn :D if you are going into the left lane on an unlimited part your going be eaten if your not doing at least a 150-200kph. and there is always an rs6 or a m5 doing 200+

The flow of traffic rule is kind of up for grabs in my opinion. Here where I live everyone works for Microsoft and they all drive Prius' due to the long commute every day, so often times they coast anywhere from 15-5mph under the speed limit, with no bad conditions or reason. Just an extra thought :P

Man have to drive for two days straight tomorrow and haven’t been in the interstate yet. Pretty nervous, thanks for the tips

I’m watching this cause I’m comfortable driving places like work, school or like to a beach or whatever. But i have barely any experience driving on the highway😂

Hey Parker! When you got on the freeway ramp, was that the ramp near ArborLand strip mall? There's a big sign that is a big A. Just curious cuz I've been there quite a bit

Next Video: 5 things I hate about driving on the highway

Thanks 👍

Can I drive in the car pool lane in a hearse if I have a couple bodies in the back?

4:20 wow that audi A9 2017

i passed about 2 to 3 weeks ago thanks for all the tips

Hey Parker, novice driver here. I almost always stay too close to right of my lane, especially when there is traffic on left side. The problem is this is not intentional, and sometimes I go unconfortably close to right railings (we have a bit tight roads). Any tips on how can i center myself?

I love the highway!!

thanks man. I'm 14 and I'm about to take my driving part for my permit. thanks!

Have racked up about 15% of my daytime hours for my liscence. All I can say is that I SUCK at driving, I've almost crashed our track twice (turned left into the wrong lane once and off roaded the vehicle while checking the speedometer.) My dad wants me to go on the highway and I'm not gonna sugar coat it, it's gonna be scary, really really scary. Thank you for the tips (I'm in Virginia here!)

I adjusted my rear window spray too shoot straight back for tailgaters🤷🏾‍♂️

idk how right is to watch over your shoulder..keep your eyes on the road always !

Technically, the left lane is supposed to be for passing other traffic only. It's certainly that way in Germany and it's strictly enforced unless there's extenuating circumstances like an accident or construction.

Bravo. I've never seen 3 or more signs for carpool lane. In socal, they all say 2 or more passengers

can you do or do you already have a video on lane control? im not bad at driving but i have trouble staying in my lane, or more specifically, judging if i am in my lane. are their any rules of thumb, like left bumper on the yellow line or something like that? also, do you have anytips for driving on South Carolina roads? i have trouble controlling my car sometimes because of how bad the roads are.

Thanks driving to Cape Cod in 2weeks kinda nervous new driver and I've been just driving TownE

I am so glad that everybody in germany adheres to the "Rechtsfahrgebot" (aka the "stay as right as possible you moron" law), it just makes life that much easier. And yes even if you go 200+ mph and the lane to your right is empty, you switch lanes.

We have 2 Highway lanes in Austria, we are supposed to drive on the right lane, merging to the left lane is for passing other vehicles.
