The Real Secret of Mastering Driving

Driving, as you know, is a skill you have to master in order to get your license. Tom Robinsion, an article author, shows us exactly how to master this skill.

How to Learn to Drive a Car

It's not hard work to learn to drive a car. When you are so skilled to drive a car around in the road, you will find driving a car is easier than riding a motorcycle. Before you become a skillful and safety driver, you must know about how to use a clutch and a manual, with courage of steel and enough patience.

First thing you need to do is read the driver's training manual provided at your local DMV carefully, knowing about what is permitted to do and not to do. You should be familiar with every term your teacher speaks to you, or you will get confused in practice. If you don't understand a particular section or idea, try to draw a diagram or ask a licensed driver to help you. Pay specific attention to speed limits, the legal blood-alcohol concentration level and the meanings of common traffic signs. These will all be on the written test in most states. You must take your written test before operating a vehicle. Contact your local driver's exam station to see when testing hours are scheduled and if you need to make an appointment for the test. Many states now have computerized tests. If you answer a certain number of questions right (usually 75%), you'll pass. You'll also have to take vision and hearing tests to ensure that you can safely operate a motor vehicle.

The more you practice, the more you get skilled. So try you best you can to practice in a place as empty as possible. Know your learner, the person learning to drive: their patience level, whether they are passive-aggressive, prone to anger, all those elements because their patience will be tried. Have your licensed driver help you find the gas pedal, brake pedal, gear stick (if your car is manual), turn signals, and other important parts of the car. Then ask your licensed driver to help you adjust the seat and mirrors so that you are comfortable and can see clearly. Buckle your seat belt - if you forget this on the driving test, you'll fail automatically! Start the car, and check all of your mirrors before putting the car in drive. Slowly ease off of the brake pedal and allow the car to move forward. There are many things to remember, but soon it will come naturally.

You should pay attention to what your teacher allow you to do and not to do. When you are practicing, you must concentrate on driving the car. Don't look around, it could lead to problems.
