Driving a car is about making the right decision in a split second. What mistakes prevent confident driving and what needs to be done to make driving enjoyable and not stressful?

Step 1
If you correctly understand the basic principles of driving a car and drive a lot of practice time, then driving will not be stressful for you, but a pleasure. There are many stereotypes that interfere with correct and safe driving. Many people think that studying in a driving school and passing exams is a waste of time, and they prefer to study on their own or under the guidance of experienced, in their opinion, friends. And the right to get already in the traffic police department, bypassing the examination site. But if there is such confidence that you can do everything yourself, then why be afraid. Talking about wasted time is just an excuse. This time cannot be lost, it is aimed at gaining theoretical and practical knowledge. Where else can you absolutely legally drive around the city? Riding in an open field, you will not gain experience.
Step 2
All the mistakes of novice drivers come from a lack of understanding of the processes occurring with the car while driving. Why can't I park? Because it is difficult to understand that the wheels turn in one direction, while the body turns in the other, making an angle. Watch other drivers. See what happens to the body, where the wheels are turning, what is the trajectory of movement. To make things easier, get a toy car with spinning wheels. Start making maneuvers and turns on the table, you will immediately understand everything.
Step 3
Another difficult point is the size of the car. How do you know where the car starts, where it ends, and what is its width? The mistake of many beginners is that when making a maneuver, they think that the body ends exactly where they are sitting. The sense of size is based on intuition. But it needs to be developed. If you still can't figure out where and what, do not hesitate to go around the car every day before boarding. You can embed an antenna on the front bumper - you can see it. If the car is a hatchback, then the rear trunk ends in the same place as the glass. The width of the car is easy to determine by the side mirrors: the outer edge of the mirror is the width of the car.
Step 4
Whatever technical knowledge you have, it can be problematic to apply it on the road in a state of psychological stress. There should be a sense of self-preservation behind the wheel, but not fear. Believe me, 80% of drivers are as afraid as you are at the moment. There is no time on the road to be distracted by negative thoughts - watch out for those who are on the right, left, front, and now the traffic light will come on. Emotions on the road are a bad helper. Everyone once learned, do not be afraid to seem like another slow teapot, do not abandon the steering wheel at the first nervous beep from a row. Excitement prevents you from making the right decision until your actions are brought to automaticity.
