🚫 Myth Busted! Unless your car specifically requires premium fuel, regular gas works just fine. Using premium when it’s not needed usually doesn’t improve performance — it just costs more. #MythBusting #RoadMythBusters #CarTips #DriversEdDirect #FuelFacts

✅Yes, you must stop every time even if the road is clear. 🛑Be sure to stop completely behind the limit line or crosswalk and only turn when it’s safe and legal to do so. ❗Rolling through a red light w/o stopping can lead to a traffic ticket or test failure.

🇺🇸 Happy Labor Day from all of us at TrafficSchool.com and Drivers Ed Direct! Wishing you a safe and relaxing holiday with family and friends. #LaborDay #SafeDriving #RoadSafety

🚫Myth Busted! Shoulder checks aren’t just for the test — they’re essential every time you change lanes. Mirrors alone can’t show everything, so always double-check your blind spots to stay safe. 💡Tip: Remember SMOG when changing lanes: Signal, Mirror, Over-the-shoulder, Go.

❓Question of the Week❓ Lane drifting is common—even for experienced drivers. A few things that help: 👀Look farther ahead (10–15 secs down the road) 🪑Sit straight + centered 👐Keep both hands balanced on the wheel 👏 Awareness is already a big step forward! Keep practicing!

Hey everybody! 👋 With school back in session there’s a lot more going on out on the roads. Wanted to hop on here with some quick safety reminders for you all — especially if you’re driving to school for the first time this year. #StaySafe #BackToSchool #PermitQuizLiz

When a school bus extends its stop arm & flashes red lights, drivers in both directions must stop (unless there’s a divided roadway). ✅Never pass a stopped bus ✅Watch for kids crossing the street ✅Give buses plenty of space Kids count on you to follow the law—keep them safe.

Thank you, Courtney! We’re so glad to hear your daughter enjoyed learning with our instructors. Congratulations to her on earning her license—what an exciting milestone!🚗✨Wishing her safe and memorable adventures on the road ahead, and thank you for trusting Drivers Ed Direct.

❓Question of the Week❓ Yes, you can adjust your side mirror while fully stopped — some cars even auto-tilt in reverse. But on the driving test (and in real life): ✅Look over your right shoulder & through the rear window. ✅Use mirrors only as a quick reference. Safety first!

Hey everybody! 👋 Saw something today that reminded me of you guys, so I had to share. Just a friendly reminder to keep yourself and others safe—those little moments on the road (and even in parking lots!) make a big difference. Stay safe! #StaySafe #PermitQuizLiz

🚫Parking Too Far from the Curb Parallel parking? Don’t forget to check your distance. In California, your car must be within 18 inches of the curb when parked. It’s a small detail that can be dangerous and lead to a real ticket. #ParkingLaws #ParallelParking #TrafficViolation

🚫Myth Busted! A blinking check engine light means urgent trouble — but a steady one isn’t harmless. It still signals an issue, like emissions problems or a faulty sensor, that can get worse. ⚠️Don’t ignore it. Get it checked early to avoid bigger, costly repairs. #DrivingTip

❓Question of the Week❓ ✅Standard intersections: Pull in until your driver-side mirror passes the curb — about 1/3 in. ✅Wide intersections (3–4 lanes each way): Line your mirror up with the 2nd white lane from the yellow centerline. ❗️Keep your wheels straight while waiting!

Thank you, Robert! We’re thrilled our course helped you build the tools and confidence to succeed. Wishing you the best as you take the next step in your driving journey! Thanks for choosing Drivers Ed Direct. 🙌 #DriversEdDirect #DrivingJourney #LearnToDrive #DrivingSchool

Traffic is heavy, but you enter the intersection anyway—and get stuck when the light changes. Now you're blocking traffic. What’s the takeaway? ✅ Wait until you can clear the intersection ✅ Watch for traffic ahead ✅ When in doubt, stay back 📚Not legal advice.

With a new school year comes a wave of first-time student drivers. If you’re behind the wheel or guiding someone who is: ✅ Give yourself extra time in the morning ✅ Keep your focus on the road ✅ Slow down and follow school zone rules ✅ Look twice for pedestrians and cyclists

🚸Back to School Means Back to Sharing the Road School is back in session, which means more kids walking, biking, and getting dropped off in busy school zones. Let’s all do our part to keep them safe! 📌Share this post to help spread the word—safety is everyone’s responsibility.

🚗 Thanks, Ana! We’re so glad to hear your daughter is feeling confident and excited to drive — that kind of enthusiasm is what it’s all about! Thank you for choosing Drivers Ed Direct and trusting us to be part of her journey. 🙌 #DriversEdDirect #LearnToDrive #DrivingSchool

❓Question of the Week❓ Clipping the curb? You’re not alone — it’s super common when learning to turn. 👀 Pro tip: Wait until your side mirror has passed the edge of the curb before turning the wheel. It gives you a better angle to clear the corner. #DrivingTips #DrivingSchool

🚫 Myth Busted! In California, you must pull over and stop for emergency vehicles using lights or sirens — no matter the direction they’re coming from — unless there’s a physical divider. 🚑 It keeps you safe and helps first responders get through faster.
