    Do: Learn safe driving habits (hint: Smith System!)

    Don't: And this is quite possibly the most important lesson you will ever learn in your life, so pay attention.

    Don't Ever, Ever, Piss Off The Truck Stop Waitress!!!

    Remember, she carries a hot pot of coffee, and accidents can always happen....
