I've been in-game for a few days now, played LSRP way back, came back for the re-release.
In those few days it has become apparent that people can't drive for shit.
Here's a few notes that will teach you enough about driving to realistically RP driving.
Drive on the correct side of the road (very important)
Yield for cars with the right of way (This will make sure you don't die)
Don't smoke Crack IRL before RPing (Optional but not recommended)
That's about it tbh, simple as.
