What are the precautions for novice drivers

If you are a novice driver, you should of course be careful in every way and have a good mental quality, because if you are panicked and nervous while driving, you will easily become at a loss and more likely to cause an accident.

General rule for beginners: Keep calm

First of all, you should adjust your own psychological quality. Faced with the speeding traffic and criss-crossing roads, don't be too nervous and remember to keep a cool head. When novice drivers get on the road, they are often so nervous that they don't know how to shift gears, turn, etc. When they see other vehicles passing by, they want to lift the car and drive away. In fact, as long as they drive calmly and according to the regulations, there will be no problem.

General rule for beginners: Find someone to give you courage

Secondly, it is best for a novice driver to be accompanied by someone when he or she first goes on the road. Having a friend who can drive sitting next to you is like a reassurance. If any mistakes occur during driving, you will get timely reminders and help. There is another advantage of traveling with friends. If you really cannot drive, your friends can get out of the car to direct traffic for you and clear a path in front of your car for you. Of course, if your friends help you in this way, you must thank them with a "big meal".

General rule for beginners: Be prepared

Again, before hitting the road, you should think about the essentials of driving in your mind and familiarize yourself with the brakes, accelerator, and clutch to prevent yourself from stepping on the accelerator instead of the brake when you are nervous, which is too dangerous; familiarize yourself with the various gears, because "newbies" will forget to increase or decrease gears when they are nervous on the road, and the roar of the car is often deaf to newbies. Being able to turn a manual transmission car into an automatic transmission is a common mistake made by many "newbies", so these basic operations must be thoroughly understood before hitting the road.

6. When driving on a clear road, look straight ahead 100 meters, and don’t stare at the front of the car;
