Getting a driver's license and leaving is the dream of many learners. In order for new drivers to become proficient, they must establish a solid sense of safe driving and develop correct driving habits.
Check around the car before getting on the bus.
Before getting into the car, the driver should go around the car to check whether the appearance of the vehicle is damaged and confirm whether the surrounding environment is safe. After getting into the car, confirm whether the parts, instruments, and lights are complete and effective, and adjust the left and right rearview mirrors, indoor rearview mirrors and seats to the position that suits you.
Buckle up.
Drivers and passengers should fasten their seat belts as soon as they get into the car. In the event of an accident, the seat belt can fix the person on the seat, prevent the occupants of the car from being thrown out of the car, avoid injury or reduce the degree of injury, and can also protect the driver and passengers from hitting other hard objects such as the steering wheel, so as to avoid secondary collision injuries.
Refuse uncivilized driving behavior.
During driving, drivers are strictly forbidden to make phone calls, read text messages, read WeChat, etc. Do not litter debris outside the vehicle, so as not to affect the normal driving of other vehicles.
Maintain a good sitting posture.
The correct driving posture is conducive to driving operation, and it is convenient for the driver to observe the instrument and road conditions to avoid premature fatigue. In general, the driver should straighten his waist, hold the steering wheel with both hands, keep a distance of about 1-2 fists between his chest and the steering wheel, and be able to easily press the pedal to the end.
Pay attention to observation and prediction.
When driving on the road, you must see the six roads and listen to all directions. Drivers should observe more, obtain useful information, keenly judge road conditions, avoid dangers, and make the whole driving journey safe and smooth.
Adjust your mindset. Novice drivers are prone to excessive nervousness on the road, and this emotion is normal, but drivers must calm down in time and keep calm, so that they can respond rationally when encountering unexpected situations.
Keep a safe distance.
Novice drivers should always pay attention to maintaining a certain safe distance from the car in front of them, and leave enough space for emergency disposal in case of emergency. When the vehicles are too close, the probability of rear-end collision accidents is greatly increased.
Give way to speed.
When there are signs of changing lanes from the vehicle in front, the driver should slow down in time to avoid it. Pay attention to "give way without giving way", that is, the speed of the vehicle should be slowed down, but not to deviate from the lane in order to avoid it, otherwise there is a risk of colliding with vehicles in other lanes.
Give way to pedestrians. When driving on the road, drivers should have the spirit of courtesy, consciously abide by traffic safety laws and regulations, strictly abide by driving operating procedures, obey management and command, drive cautiously, drive in a civilized manner, give way to pedestrians, and consciously slow down when crossing zebra crossings to ensure that pedestrians pass safely first.
