Just like any other skills we’ve learned, there’s always room for improving your driving skills. Here are some helpful driving tips to help you become a better driver: 

Make it a habit to look further ahead

When you’re driving, it’s not only important to look at the car in front of you. You also have to remember to look further ahead so that you can foresee or anticipate any potential dangers and be able to react accordingly. This will also help you avoid hitting the back of the car in front of you if something happens suddenly.

It also gives you the chance to adjust your speed earlier, which will not only help reduce the wear and tear on your vehicle but it will also help you save on fuel. 

Properly place your hands on the steering wheel

If you’ve been used to keeping your hands on the steering wheel at the “10 and 2” positions of the clock, it’s about time that you make little adjustments. Believe it or not, you can actually gain more control and stability while driving if you keep your hands lower and place them on the “8 and 4” or even the “9 and 3” positions.

This will also keep your muscles more relaxed, as these are more ergonomic positions for your hands, especially if you’re driving for longer stretches of time. 

Keep a safe distance from the car in front of you

Following the vehicle in front of you too closely (also called “tailgating”) has several disadvantages. First of all, it increases your likelihood of hitting the back of the car in front of you if the driver brakes suddenly.
