The most important driving rules

There are a lot of rules for driving, that much that most of the peolple dont remember many of them including me. People know the basic rules, but that doesnt mean they follow them. For example, when there's a stop sign the rule is tu wait for three seconds. I think the ninety-eight percent of people just wait one to two seconds, another basic rule is the speed limit, we obviously know almost every speed limit on the country or we can imagine what could it be depending on the area, but if we are in a rush almost every person don't care about the limit and goes very fast. Another important rule that not everyone follows are the traffic lights. The rule is that when the light changes to yellow you should start slowing your speed but most of the people acelerate instead and if they dont reach the yellow light they even pass the red light.
In my personal opinion people are not used to follow the rules in my country including me. I think something should be done so that the accidents stop happening.
