Here are some driving tips to make yourself a better driver.

Be familiar with all your car controls

Getting familiar with all the car controls is one of the most important things every driver should do.

This is especially crucial when you have just started driving. Get to know your warning lights and signals, the pattern when shifting gears, and so on. These things will notify you when something goes wrong with the vehicle. Explore your car controls further by taking the time to read the owner’s manual.

Keep practicing

There’s no better way to sharpen your driving skills than by practicing consistently. Drive more to become a better driver. Go for a long drive during the weekends.

Or drive for someone during your free time. The more you drive, the faster you will master the skill.

Ditch the distractions

Distracted driving is one of the top reasons for road accidents. So, once you are seated behind the steering wheel, be sure to avoid distractions and focus on driving. Avoid using your mobile phone and put it away unless it is being used for navigating. If you need to take an important phone call, it is better to pull over before picking up the phone.

Other distractions should also be avoided, like talking to a chatty passenger or fiddling with the radio.

Adjust your seat

A common mistake many drivers make is not adjusting their seat before driving. Making sure your seat is adjusted properly will not only ensure comfort, but also give you better visibility of the road ahead. Ensuring control and comfort is an excellent way to reduce the likelihood of accidents. Have your seat adjusted in such a way where it provides you the best access to the controls by the side of your seat and allows you to drive comfortably at the same time.

Put the safety belt on

The importance of wearing a seat belt can’t be overemphasized. This holds true for both the driver and the passenger. Safety belts are designed to keep you in place during a sudden impact. A survey suggests that people who wear their seat belts have a 60% lower fatal injury rate than those who don’t. If you think safety belts are a burden, it’s time to change that mindset.

Use turn signals and exterior mirrors

The car’s turn signals and exterior mirrors are there for an important reason.

These things should always be used when making a turn. Turn signals notify other drivers which way you are heading. Your exterior mirrors, on the other hand, let you see if there are cars coming from behind.

Be mindful of your speed

We all want to get to our destination in the shortest time possible. However, speeding will only increase your risk of getting into an accident. Drive according to the recommended speeds.

Maintain the right distance from other drivers

Whether or not you have a powerful braking system, it is always safe to maintain the right distance from other vehicles. This will make it easier for you to make an immediate stop in cases of emergency braking.

Stay calm and patient

Staying calm and patient is extremely important while on the road. While it’s easy to get annoyed with other drivers’ behavior, the traffic and other factors, keeping your cool while driving helps ensure your safety. Don’t let your emotions distract you.

Whether you are a novice or an experienced driver, there are always ways to improve your driving skills. Follow these tips for responsible driving to ensure your safety and comfort every time you get behind the wheel.
