Driving is not a right but a privilege. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, reminding yourself that you are sharing the road with everyone else is necessary. It’s not just a precaution but should be a habit for all drivers because respect is easy to say but difficult to apply, especially if you are growling and always complaining while driving.

Unexpected situations sometimes shape our attitude on the road. That’s why it is necessary to ground ourselves with fundamental knowledge and tips about driving. Even experts who had 30 years of experience should review and go back to the basics. What more of those beginner drivers, right? Here are some of the most fundamental driving tips that every driver should know.

Be Familiar With Your Car

Before you rummage inside your car and try everything at once, make sure that you know each knob and buttons’ different functions. Everything inside and outside of your vehicle has its specific purpose, like seat controls, gear knob, locks, and more. As a driver, you should know when and how you’ll use these things. It’s better to read the driver’s manual first.

Also, you need to be acquainted with the ABC of the foot control. It stands for the three pedals located underneath. A is for the accelerator, b is for the brake, and c is for the clutch. Knowing how to control the ABC can significantly improve your driving ability.

Enroll in Driving Lessons

Whether you’re a newbie or an experienced driver, it won’t hurt if you’ll consider driving lessons from time to time. It’s a testament that you are trying to improve and better yourself on the road. These lessons will certainly benefit you in the long run, well because it’s for you. Sign up for your driving lessons at Vicroad Driving School, and they will surely give you a great time learning how to drive.

Learn to Communicate

Your car’s indicator lights and your car horn are the only sources of communication you can use to relay information while driving. The sad truth is that not all drivers respect how they work, and some don’t even use them! Your horn is used to forewarn surrounding vehicles that you’re nearby, not alert them to move faster during traffic. If you’re doing this, better stop this habit now.

Also, use your indicators when changing lanes or turning in another direction. In this way, the cars behind you will know and take the necessary distance and precautions to avoid any problem.

Follow Road Signs and Speed Limits

Road signs, warning signs, and speed limits are all there for a reason. One reason is to help drivers navigate either familiar or unfamiliar roads efficiently. No, it’s not for aesthetics only. It’s part of all states’ safety precautions and preventive measures to ensure that drivers are adequately guided along the way.

There are readily available manuals online or even in bookstores about road signs and their meaning. It won’t hurt if you’ll check them out once or twice. But, what’s better is to familiarize yourself with them and understand their value and importance.

Know Basic First Aid

As a driver, avoiding accidents is a day to day battle, and hopefully, you won’t experience any accident throughout your driving. But, for others, some things are just inevitable. Don’t wait for accidents to happen to you before you decide to know something. Having a basic knowledge of doing first aid could be the best that’ll ever happen to you and could save your or someone’s life.

These basic guidelines about first aid will surely give you a headstart:

  • Always carry with you a first aid kit. This is nonnegotiable.
  • When approaching a car accident, turn off your engine and park at least 10 meters away.
  • Do not move any injured person unless it is necessary.
  • Check for other bystanders and ask them to call the emergency hotline.
  • Check if they are still breathing.
  • Do not give the casualties any food or drink.
  • Do make them comfortable and assure them always.

The guidelines above are just some of the most basic first aid you can offer to those involved in accidents. Remember, what you do good to others will surely go back to you a hundredfold.

Check Your Temper

Aggressive driving constitutes 56% of severe vehicular accidents. The number says a lot about losing temper while on the road. That’s why it is vital to check on yourself before, during, and after driving. Self-regulation is a very underrated factor for most drivers, and they often tend to neglect it. Here are some tips to consider:

  • Think a couple of times before you speak to other drivers.
  • Don’t hold any grudge with other drivers. You don’t know what’s going on in their minds.
  • Slow down your driving and try breathing exercises.
  • Be forgiving. You are not always right.
  • Practice relaxation techniques.

Takeaway

In its sense, driving is an art. It’s honestly not enough to know how to drive but learning the basics of navigating your way on the road without being a reckless one is undoubtedly a habit that you should value. Remember that you are sharing the road with others; being respectful on and off the road is appreciated.
