    If you could recommend one thing to every other driver what would it be? Be it book/video/course/anything you wish!

    My current one is - read and practice Roadcraft.

    Take a first aid kit and loo roll in the boot, you never know when you might need either and having the latter can be a life saver.

    Stay out of the overtaking lane unless you are overtaking, or allowing filtering from on ramps.

    indicate to signal your intention to change direction, not after you have started your manouvere.

    Don't blindly follow the vehicle ahead when it's passing a slow moving vehicle.

    Be Patient.

    Overtaking Lane is the fast lane for driving fast in and stuff!!!:p

    Seriously though my one bit of advice to every driver is to stop driving so close to the car in front. And don't pull out into the overtaking lane if there is just over one car lenght for you to fit into. Its frustrating to drivers who are allowing enough room between them and the car in front only to have the space "stolen" by a car moving into the overtaking lane.
