As a new driver, it’s essential to keep these tips in mind to ensure your safety on the road:
Get proper training
Before you start driving, take lessons from a professional instructor to learn the basics of driving, including road rules, traffic signals, and how to handle the vehicle.
Practice in a safe and controlled environment
Initially, practice in a quiet, low-traffic area like an empty parking lot or a residential street.
Wear your seatbelt
Always wear your seatbelt while driving, and ensure your passengers do the same.
Keep a safe distance
Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. A good rule of thumb is to stay at least two seconds behind the car ahead of you.
Follow traffic rules
Follow traffic signals and obey traffic rules. This includes speed limits, stop signs, and traffic signals.
Stay focused
Avoid distractions like using your phone, eating or drinking, or applying makeup while driving.
Use turn signals
Use your turn signals to indicate your intentions to other drivers.
Stay calm
Stay calm and composed while driving, and avoid road rage or aggressive behaviour.
Stay aware of your surroundings
Keep an eye on your surroundings and scan the road ahead for potential hazards like pedestrians, cyclists, or other vehicles.
Never drink and drive
Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It’s illegal and extremely dangerous.
Remember
Driving is a responsibility that requires patience, attentiveness, and focus. Keep these tips in mind, and you’ll be well on your way to becoming a safe and confident driver.
