The Important Things

When learning to drive, there are some important things to remember if you want to become a good driver. Here is an article I wrote about this subject.


Don't let your upcoming driving exam stress you too much. While it's normal to feel nervous, you don't want to become stressed out. If you know what to expect ahead of time, you will feel more comfortable behind the wheel. Don't try to learn everything at once. Print out a checklist of everything you'll be tested on and practice one or two things at a time. Taking your time and being patient is essential if you want the test go smoothly.

Here are some of the important things you need to learn during your practice:

- Learn how to park on a hill properly. The car will have to be in neutral. Make sure you turn the wheels in the right direction. Also, keep them six to eight inches away from the curb. The amount of space required varies from state to state.

- There's no need to rush when you're doing any type of parking. Take as much time as you need. It's better to take things really slow than to hurry. If you have trouble, put out all the way and start from the beginning. Practice every single day until you start to get the hang of it.

- Remember to brake gently when you are approaching a stop light or sign. Always come to a complete stop. When the light turns red, make sure traffic is clear from every direction before you proceed. Get in the habit of doing this and you should do well on your test.

- Whenever you need to change lanes, don't forget about your blind spots. Look in the mirror and over your shoulder both. Use the proper signal and switch lanes when it's clear to do so.

- Also check your blind spot and use the proper signals when you are pulling out. It's not just other vehicles you need to keep an eye out for. You should also check for animals, pedestrians, children on bicycles, and other obstructions. When you're absolutely sure that there is nothing or no one in the way, pull out carefully.

- Don't bother taking the test until you know what every single control and switch in the vehicle is for. Know how to operate everything correctly. Even if you don't plan on using some of the controls during the testing, your examiner might ask you know point them out just to see if you know where they're at.

These guidelines should be enough to get you started. However, there is still a lot more for you to learn. The more you learn, the less nervous you'll feel on the day of the test.
