Control your Car

Car control is a vital skill for a driver. Without it, any driver is likely to hit a wall, a car, or a person every time he drives. There are some very important driving control skills you must master before you officially become a driver. Here is an article I wrote about the topic.

Deadly Car Control Mistakes on the Road Test

One very important part of driving a car is controlling the vehicle. Without that, the roads will look like chaos: cars turning left and right without any reason, sudden brakes and accelerations without proportion, and highly dangerous roads. In the driving test, every driver should demonstrate good ability to control the vehicle. However, some driving students don't know how to control their car, and they make the same mistakes over and over.

Steering control is a very serious issue when it comes to the road test. As weird as it may sound, some students come to the road test with very limited steering skill. They have trouble turning, passing cars and other objects, and in general, the steering wheel is not their best friend. These driving students come to the test unprepared, and as a result they fail the test miserably.

Acceleration is also an issue the examiners face with students drivers. Acceleration should be done smoothly most times and quickly at others. However, some drivers fail to understand this, and their use of the gas pedal makes the entire car swing back and forth. This improper use of the accelerator often sends the examinee to a new test.

Braking is a greater issue than acceleration. Improper braking can lead to an accident, and so is a too-slow braking. Like acceleration, braking should be done smoothly, with a pace that matches current road conditions. During the road test, some students don't brake well and upset the examiner.

A very common mistake on the road test is wrong usage of gears. Some students stick strictly to shifting gears by speed and don't listen to the engine or road. When the driver doesn't seem to know how to use the gears the right way, the test is probably over.

Controlling a car should not be an issue for any person applying for a driver's license. All they need to do is get enough practice, but not just any ordinary practice. To control a car well, driving students should get a guide specializing in the driving test.
