A cherished driver's license warms your heart and flatters your vanity, but treacherous knees prevent you from enjoying self-driving? There is nothing wrong with that! Remember, no one was born with the ability to drive a car, and all drivers were once beginners. Don't be afraid to admit your inexperience. Over time, both confidence and experience will come!
And now you are driving your car, but there is no instructor nearby who will prompt the necessary maneuver or press the brake pedal when you are distracted and do not notice the obstacle on the right. Is it scary? Do not be afraid of independence, you just need to remember that now you are a participant in the car traffic that obeys the Rules. Throw away your fears and doubts and get behind the wheel more courageously! Rule # 1 Before driving, make sure your car's lights are in good working order, check the level of technical fluids, adjust the seat for a comfortable fit, and don't forget about the rear-view mirrors. They will help you control the situation on the road. Be sure to wear your seat belt, even before the shortest trip! Let it become your good habit, a conditioned reflex: get behind the wheel - buckle up! Rule # 2 The first trip is best done on a road with less traffic. This way you can better control the situation. In addition, if this is your first time driving your car, you need to learn its habits. Yes, every car has its own demeanor. Some are capricious, some behave impeccably - but in any case, you should be able to understand and hear your "iron friend". And believe me, having found mutual understanding with your car, you will be rewarded with considerable driving pleasure. Rule # 3 No mobile phone calls! Even a headset distracts and distracts your attention. If the call is urgent, it is best to stop and talk on the phone. Music is also better not to turn on loudly, let the engine work be the best music for you! Rule # 4 Be sure to use the beginner's sign - an exclamation mark in a yellow square - don't be ashamed of your inexperience. Having such a sign, you will warn the rest of the traffic participants that your reaction is not yet completely automatic, and you can not always quickly assess the situation. A note from life: at a traffic light, if you hesitate with the start of the movement, you will be much less likely to sound a signal if there is this sign on the rear window. Rule number 5 At first, it is better to plan your route in advance, mentally drawing your movement along it. And then you will already more confidently move along it in reality. And yet, a little trick: it is better to start independent driving in the summer, so that by winter you will already feel much more confident behind the wheel of your iron friend! Good luck on the road!
