Essential Driving Tips For New Drivers
Key Highlights
  • Talking on the phone while talking doubles the chances of accidents
  • Being a new driver means respecting other drivers
  • Having a sense of navigation is a very important thing for safe driving

While sitting behind the steering wheel is an exhilarating experience, it also comes with considerable responsibilities. A new driver must exercise due precautions to ensure safety for oneself and other cars playing on the road.

Get familiar with the car

The first thing to do is to get familiar with the car and get comfortable with all the basics of the car. Learn the theory well and then examine all the real-life parts of the car mechanism. Having complete knowledge is better than rushing into accidents without getting comfortable with the vehicle.

Prioritizing safety

The first and foremost thing to ensure safety while operating the vehicle. Fasten the seatbelts at all times and encourage other passengers to do the same. It becomes a habit if practiced regularly.

Adjusting the seating

Every driver needs to adjust the seating according to their comfort. Not being able to move freely is a dangerous situation. Make sure that the seat is aligned so that the back isn't injured and the driver can clearly and comfortably see the surroundings. Make sure to sit upright and not stoop ahead.

Avoiding distractions

Once the driver has sat inside the car, make all the necessary adjustments (mirrors, seatbelt) beforehand and concentrate on the road. Refrain from using mobile phones while driving and do not drink and drive under any circumstances. Make sure to not get distracted by talking too often or playing music too loud.

Knowing the limit

There is no shame in admitting that there is a limit, and one can stop at a certain point. Don't rush into things – take things slow and learn with baby steps. Follow the proper rules, don't enter uncertain spaces, don't rush or drive too slow, and follow lanes while initially learning to drive.

Using signals

When traveling on the road, the important thing to note is that there are other people on the road. Be considerate of them and make sure to use the turning signal beforehand so that drivers around the vehicle can see the signal and have enough time to react.

Don't overspend

One of the biggest temptations of owning a car and driving it initially is speeding, but that is extremely dangerous. Make sure to maintain a certain distance from other vehicles and drive at a median speed (neither too fast nor too slow).

Stay calm

Driving in real life can be very stressful for various reasons (careless drivers, traffic jams, road rage); it is important to stay calm and navigate through the madness. Make sure not to let a bad mood lead to unforeseen circumstances.

Being considerate

Remember, there are other drivers as well as pedestrians who cross the roads. Be patient and considerate of their space. Make sure to be respectful and not rush through, causing accidents along the way.
