Caller Highlights:

1. A caller asked about navigating a "diamond intersection" in Rexburg and clarified that turning right on a red arrow is not allowed.

3. A debate about highway merging stressed the responsibility of drivers entering from an on-ramp to seamlessly join traffic without causing disruption.
4. Questions about the duration and timing for using turn signals revealed the rule of signaling for five seconds or the equivalent safe distance before lane changes.

Hosted by the vibrant team of Viktor Wilt, Lieutenant Crain, and friends, the show blends humor with valuable driving insights.

Traffic School with Viktor Wilt and Lieutenant Marvin Crain. Somehow screwed up the recording of the regular morning show and the first 3 minutes of this show, hence shy it sounds kinda blown out. Thankfully it gets back to normal pretty quickly. This show features special guests Ben, Mason, Abril and Laura from The Advocates Injury Attorneys. They were kind enough to bring in a $250 Visa Gift card which we hooked up one lucky caller with at the end of the show.
