This all sounds like Rockingham County, not the rest of NH. But a good reminder to clean up our habits as we enter the season of ice and snow.

Driver's School? Didn't we all learn to drive as part of 4-H tractor training?

"Blinkah's"? I remember hand signals, but only for left turns, since nobody would pass on the right as they would fall off the edge of the road.

I recall when folks south of Rockingham County got a license that was "Restricted to Automatic Transmission" because they couldn't manage a clutch. (If you can't manage a clutch, you start and stop/stall too quickly and the contents of the Honey Wagon will slop over the ends and sides.)

I'm sure other experienced NH drivers have their own tips.
