What is the most important thing to consider while learning to drive a car?

how to brake

Dont go faster than the car infront of you. You will get lots of advise, many people find out what works best for them and assume it will work for you. The only thing you can really do is go out and practice, follow the rules of the road and be cautious of the people around you. Once you have been driving a while it will become second nature. Good Luck.

Keep distractions to a minimum. Don't fiddle with a radio, food, drink, or above all a CELL PHONE while driving. Do NOT take more than one friend along, as they are distraction themselves. Plan ahead. Look more than one carlength ahead. Be aware that the other cars may act in unpredictable ways and you must be prepared for any erratic behavior from others. Just make sure you are not one of the erratic drivers.

Pay attention to the task at hand. No eating, cell phone, putting on makeup or other silly behavior.

Watching all three mirrors.....looking far enough ahead yet keeping close eye on the side walks.......not turning the wheel when the new driver turns their head. Proper acceleration getting on the freeway....

Remember which pedal is which.

Whether or not you can drive a stick shift. If not, then stick to automatic. Also, this is what I did when I first learned. You don't have to gun it as soon as your foot goes on the pedal.

how to stop

Probably the most important thing to consider are pedestrians. People learning to drive pay attention to other cars, probably because they are concerned about potential damage to their vehicle. Pedestrians are usually just an afterthought for most drivers. Pay particular attention to pedestrians coming from your RIGHT when exiting a parking lot or making a right turn at a corner. So many drivers simply look to their left for oncoming traffic, and seeing no one close, start their turn. I have kicked and dented so many cars that did this to me! ALWAYS LOOK TO YOUR RIGHT before advancing across a pedestrian right-of-way. Always grant pedestrians the right-of-way-remember you are enclosed in a two ton metal and glass cacoon, while pedestrians are simply human bodies perambulating through a world which we SHARE. Automobiles must ALWAYS yield to pedestrians, regardless of the situation.
Obey all traffic rules; they are rules for a reason-to save lives. Do not speed. Do not turn or change lanes without using your signal. Do not race. Do not allow distractions such as walkie-talkies, radios, food, etc take your concentration away from the safe operation of your vehicle.
Again: WATCH FOR PEDESTRIANS!!!!!
Consider walking or public transit instead of driving--you will save a lot of money and aggrevation. Be carefull.

The owner that knows all about the car and be a defensive driver, as in watching out for the other guy. Keep cool and collected in making your driving decisions in plenty of time, this will make you a great driver

where is the break paddel and where is the accelerater padel/ when and what time u use the breaks properly


Steve C
Know your vehicle, width, length weight etc. Acceleration, braking and steering capabilities. Relax when you are driving, class everyone else as an idiot. Expect the unexpected, BE PREPARED and learn to read the road.

You must learn to keep your eyes open during an orgasm. They don't teach this at drivers-ed. You just have to practice as much as you can.


Gizmo
Watch out for the other guy, because he is an idiot !!
