Driving experience on crowded streets for new drivers

Steady speed, keep appropriate distance

When traffic is heavy, always try to stay in your lane and strictly follow traffic signals. At the same time, keep the car running at a steady speed, never suddenly accelerate or decelerate to avoid collisions or surprise other cars and not be able to handle it.

Keeping a safe distance from other cars in traffic is extremely difficult, but it is imperative to avoid hitting the car in front of you when they brake suddenly.

Experience in driving a car in the city during rush hour to keep distance is to always keep your foot on the brake; keep a distance of about 50 - 60cm from the car in front (avoid letting motorbikes pass); wait patiently until the road is wide enough to continue driving, avoid reckless overtaking.

Pay attention to traffic lights, do not brake suddenly.

When driving near a 3-way or 4-way intersection, pay attention to traffic light signals. Do not brake suddenly when stopping at a red light to avoid the risk of collision with vehicles moving behind. When you see a yellow light, or a green light with less than 3 seconds left, you should brake to slow down the vehicle. Avoid accelerating in these situations because traffic at 3-way and 4-way intersections in the city is quite complicated, motorbikes often cross, which can easily cause accidents. In addition, you should not pass immediately when the light turns green, but observe all directions to make sure that there are no vehicles running red lights from other roads, which can cause collisions.

Patient

In case of traffic jam, try to be patient, do not try to find a way out because this will only make the situation more complicated. Moreover, if you try to turn around to find another way, or encroach on the lane to pass and the other side does the same, you will definitely risk being "rooted" on the road.

Limit turning

Turning a car around when the road is congested is never an acceptable solution. Because turning around on a crowded street is very difficult, affects traffic flow, and causes chaos in the traffic situation.

If you have to turn around, stay calm and decisive. Many people may be annoyed if you make a U-turn incorrectly, but if you hesitate, you can easily cause a traffic jam for a long stretch of road.

Turn on the turn signal early

Before changing lanes or turning, drivers should pay attention to turn on the turn signal to signal to surrounding vehicles. Observe the rearview mirrors to cover the surroundings. Avoid turning on the turn signal and then suddenly changing lanes or turning, causing surprise to the vehicles behind.

Pay attention to the rearview mirror when driving a car.

When you first drive, you often focus on the front and forget to look at the rearview mirror. Look at the mirror to observe both sides of the road and behind the car. This will help you avoid situations that new drivers often encounter such as cutting in front of other cars, scraping the side of the car against the road, or crossing the line. And when reversing, do not turn your head or stick your head out to reverse, but get used to the skill of looking at the mirror and reversing.

Always wear seat belts and do not drink alcohol while driving.

It is a recommendation for all drivers and a mandatory rule for car drivers. However, beginners should do this move to create a good habit, reducing the rate of injury.

Look at the sign

Get into the habit of looking at every traffic sign on the road, if you don't want to constantly pay fines to the traffic police.
