I'd really want first-timers especially to check updates like this. The scariest thing is breaking a rule without even knowing it. It looks intimidating, but you'll be fine if you just grasp what's changed. I was helped by information like this at first too, so I think it's important to make a habit of reviewing at every milestone.

Rules differing by state makes it confusing for people traveling or touring across state lines.

Penalty increases becoming a nationwide trend across all states really shows serious intent about accident prevention.
