  1. Ensure you’re familiar with your vehicle’s features and functions before you start driving. 
  2. Whether you’re headed for a long drive or a quick spin around the block, always wear a seat belt. 
  3. Make sure you adjust the seat, mirrors, and steering wheel in a position that works for you before driving. 
  4. As a beginner, try not to drive with a single hand. It is best to keep both of your hands on the steering wheel. 
  5. While high speed gives an adrenaline rush, maintaining a moderate speed is the smartest decision on the road. 
  6. Make it a habit to use indicators while taking turns and switching lanes. 
  7. Avoid paying attention to other activities, such as using your smartphone while driving. 
  8. Although it’s natural to be nervous when you’re a beginner, you must always stay calm and confident on the go.
