Politeness in Driving

Since American’s follow strict traffic rules, you need to obey them properly. Actually, the speed limits and other traffic guidelines are enforced by a combination of state, country and city police. Interstates and other national highways are patrolled by state troopers or the highway tour of duty, often on motorcycles. State troopers generally operate outside of cities and towns and state highways are usually patrolled by the country sheriff’s officers, whereas city police officers deal with traffic within cities and towns. So, you must be very conscious in following traffic rules. If case of any issues, then you must be polite while talking to the officer.
For example, if you are pulled over for a mistake, then you do not get out of your car. You must wait until the officer comes up to your window. You must be very polite to them and answer their questions correctly. It is good to have all your verification papers like driving license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance, smoke test paper in your hands, which will be easy for the officer to check it. You should never argue with the officer if you get a ticket, unless you think you did nothing wrong. If you really think it is worth it to argue the point in traffic court, then you can follow the direction on the ticket, which will tell you what to do further more.

Driver’s Licenses
Hello Pals!
Actually it is a rule that every driver must have a driving license, which is issued by each state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), and in some cases it is issued by the county clerk’s office from the state in which they are living. The age limit for obtaining a driving license is generally 16, but this varies from state to state. Teenagers under the age of 18 can get their license if their parents formally agree. But for this, they must undergo a full driver’s education courses, which is quite often taught in high schools, as an after school activity. Then all the drivers must pass the state’s written test, covering knowledge about traffic and safety regulations, as well as practical driving test on the road.
The license card always has the driver’s picture on it along with information such as age, social security number, address and physical characteristics. Generally most Americans carry their licenses all the time because it is their main form of identification, and is used for a number of things such as opening bank accounts, proving a person’s age, cashing checks or in place of buying alcohol or entering a bar. These licenses need to be renewed periodically, that is every 4-6 years. The DMV also issues identification cards to non-driver, which looks just like driver’s licenses but clearly mentioning that the person is not allowed to drive.
