I made him a driver's advice checklist, based on all the things he said he got wrong:

Tips:
- Stop signs say "STOP" for a reason.
- You won't have a specially trained instructor to help you when you're driving IRL.
- Being overly sticky over small details leads to casual misses of your surroundings.
- Crosswalks are for people.
- Don't ever take your hands off the steering wheel.
- The most important part of starting your car is starting your car correctly.
- Turn signals are helpful.
- People need to know when you're parking, too.
- D = Drive. P = Park. N = Neutral. R = Reverse.
- Please look at the road. There's a giant window in front of you for a reason.
- Driving too slow is potentially as dangerous as driving too fast.
- Don't fiddle over the gear anymore than you need to.
- BONUS: Don't kidnap that girl, please.

- Don't ever take your hands off the steering wheel. (In case you can't see, I changed it to "hand."
- The most important part of starting your car is starting your car correctly.
- Turn signals are helpful used by everyone who isn't a moron.
- People need to know when you're parking, too.
- D = Drive. P = Park. N = Neutral. R = Reverse.
- Please look at the road. There's a giant window in front of you for a reason.
- Driving too slow is potentially about ten times as dangerous as driving too fast.
- Don't fiddle over the gear anymore than you need to.
- BONUS: Don't kidnap that girl, please.

Made a few personal edits in bold and put the most important part in red. Smiley

Looks good. A lot of my comments were intentional understatements ("turn signals are helpful," "potentially as dangerous, etc.) because they read funnier that way.

Also, I don't drive, but I just used my head for this one.
