10/10 worst advice for a police chase.
Mikesane
Get address before agreeing to be lead somewhere
bunnyrut
if you notice they are not behind you, pull to the side and wait
tinytyrant
in other words, follow the road rules? well hot diggity, let's see the duke boys get out of this one..
e363
I'll add, when following someone, try to remain conspicuous so the leader can keep tabs on you.
yeahSeriously
Fun Fact: You are supposed to stop on yellow lights in every western country, only if you cannot break savely anymore, you shall pass.
danteismycat
I had a bf who would do that everytime and then get after me for not driving fast enough >:[
Dawnstempest
I had a girlfriend who would do that, turn on red, go through on yellow, then get annoyed. Worst driving experience in my life.
ihavabellybutton
When changing lanes: turn on blinker, then person following gets over first, then lets lead vic over.
hofbrauhauss
I swear they do it on porpoise.
BlackInkOutlaw
I'm dolphinished with you.
Radenium
Isn't that what you are supposed to do? Yellow means "slow down" and not "FLOOR IT JACKASS".

gps makes the stressful following of an inattentive leading car redundant
LLCoolBeans
My car is from the 90s and my phones battery life is bad enough as is. What do?
ChloeRed
GPS doesn't always lead you to the right point. Put in address of a supermarket once, it took us to the loading dock...
ChloeRed
Car park was on the other side, and wasn't accessible from the same road. Was close to a mile of back roads to get to the correct entrance.
47MexicanWhoopingLlamas
And blinkers!
Derfalke
I'd hope those are a given even when not leading someone.
47MexicanWhoopingLlamas
You'd think.
marsgoose
Also fun, getting towed by someone who drives like they usually would. Not even burnt clutch is punishment enough for this.
FlipTheCouch
Funny story. I stopped at a yellow while my wife (then gf) was following me. She assumed I would go. She rear ended me. Hard.
MenaceToSobriety
And if the green light in front of you is shaped like an arrow pointing to the left, GO, GODDAMMIT! LEFT ARROW IS THE SHAPE OF URGENCY!!!
muerteati
When following don't follow 20 car lengths behind...
FlipTheCouch
You don't have to stop, just pull off to the side if the person following doesn't make the light and wait for them. Much safer.
dashers
Pfft, slow down whilst green then floor it at yellow. Far more fun.

Good advice for leader, but follower needs some rules also. Like match blinkers with your leader, so they know you see where they are going.
huzzahtothetipper
Usersub, I feel like I don't know you anymore. To the FP.

KingBeardy
BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS GPS!
ButtAmbassador
or if you accidentally leave them behind at the light, pull over until they can catch up
ANightAtTheCocksbury
Protip: look for the crosswalks that give pedestrians a countdown. 90% of the lights turn yellow when it reaches zero.
madetheaccountjustforyou
That's a risky game. If the person following you is preparing to gun it to make sure they hit the same light, you're in for a rear ending.
Lansdowb
Got pulled over for suspected drunken driving for doing this. I blew a zero...
SherMattLockSmith
Here is a true unpopular opinion. You should ALWAYS stop at yellow lights. Yellow means "Stop if safe"
DarkUranium
You've just contradicted yourself. "Stop if safe" does not mean "always stop".
SherMattLockSmith
Do I really have to get that fucking specific in 140 characters??? REALLY?
RAGESTARVED
At the very least you could have left "always" uncapitalized, or changed it to a less absolute word, like "usually".
TheSmitty17
And also if you merge, make sure the follower has enough room to merge in time too
nomoyankymywanky
Try the leap frog method. Lead car merges, let's the following car merge in front, then leap frogs ahead to take the lead back.
RustyNeX
or if you are following, try to merge first to block traffic and give the leader free space to merge.
ButYouAintGotNoLegs
Yes. I had to tell my husband this on our 1700 mile move.
RustyNeX
i have done a few car convoys, not only do they not get this, but they all drive like its a race. people get lost all the time
vaunkerjack
same. I never seem to beat it in to their heads until the trip is 3/4 of the way over.
Firstruleofusernames
only if you know where you are going to some extent...
RustyNeX
it works fine for lane changes, when the leader needs to overtake you can block traffic for them
ButYouAintGotNoLegs
Leader puts on blinker. Follower gets over allowing enough room for leader.
RustyNeX
exactly!
Firstruleofusernames
I do that, just wanted to make sure everyone else knew... *(does anyone believe me?)*
doctorninja
Cannot stress blinkers enough!
corlin
This. Blinker on, check mirror, don't turn until follower has their blinker on. Failsafe: wait until they reach you, then proceed in turning
azmyth1
I always signal the wrong way just to give 'em a challenge.
NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior
Those should be used anyways. #2 pet peeve next to tailgaters....
doctorninja
It's the best method we have to communicate while driving. And still people don't use them
liquidsnakex
*stupid people, stupid people don't use them

"What are blinkers?" ~ BMW owner
Th3Ch33t
You act like anyone in the world knows what you're even talking about...
liquidsnakex
Found the BMW owner
doctorninja
You're right. But if you left a comment explaining instead of being condescending, you would not be getting downvoted.
Th3Ch33t
I only have 140 char. for sarcastic jokes, so I do what I can. I'm generally kind of an asshole anyway and bad drivers don't help that.
LLCoolBeans
Use your turning signals when making a turn
HatsAreEssential
Found the guy who doesn't use his blinkers! Do I win a prize?
finstad4
You win a car crash because they didnt bother looking before changing lanes
TheWanderingPoet
If he lives where I do that could be anybody. Easier to find the guy that does use his blinkers here.

Dis nigga
Th3Ch33t
I could uh.. Insult you or something, that's really all I got. By the way I can't not use my signals, even if i see no other cars.
