Many novice drivers face a lack of driving practice, which is why fresh knowledge is gradually forgotten. You can learn to drive on your own, but for this you just need to show diligence.
When learning at a driving school, a practical driving program is not enough for many, so they try to train in their free time. The use of a private car instructor is of great benefit: the student himself draws up the training program, relying on the advice of a professional and taking into account his own knowledge gaps. Self-study should be taken seriously and the process should be broken down into several stages.
Developing vehicle driving skills
First of all, a novice driver is obliged to cope with driving at a level close to full automation. Gear shifting, clutch operation, turning on auxiliary units - all actions should be performed as a matter of course, without consciously telling the body to make this or that movement. You should start by practicing starting and stopping. Then you need to get used to the dependence of the speed of movement on the engine speed, learn on time and without hesitation to include the desired gear. Then you should work out the turns, and especially the right one. Trainings are best done on roads without heavy traffic, country roads are perfect.
Getting used to the size and speed of the car
When driving without visible effort, you should begin to get used to the dimensions, as experienced motorists call it - to feel the vehicle. An excellent help in this matter can be exercises on entering the hangar in reverse with a turn, and practicing parking skills. You also need to get used to the speed characteristics: the driver must feel the effectiveness of the braking system and be able to use it correctly.
Interaction with other road users
Final skills training should be carried out in areas with more traffic. In urban traffic, the driver's ability to communicate and intuitively sense the rhythm of the movement is vital. You should start with systematic exits to the main road with right and left turns, then you need to move on to the study of circular traffic and driving on a multi-lane road. The completion of this stage of training must necessarily be the practice of responses to traffic signals and traffic signals.
Working out the rules of the road
The main problem for novice drivers is getting driving skills in familiar terrain. It is good if it is a metropolis with a complex system of interchanges and a dense traffic flow. It is much worse if a person learns the rules of the road when driving on those roads, the traffic rules on which he has known for a long time, because of which he gets used to not paying attention to road signs and markings. It is essential to perfect your driving and compliance skills only in unfamiliar surroundings.
