Golden rules of driving to avoid becoming a 'crazy car'
Stay focused, always put your heel on the brake pedal, practice the habit of using both the gas and brake pedals... are basic principles to ensure safety when driving a car.
Owning a car is the dream of many people, but how to drive safely is not something that every driver knows right away, especially new drivers. Therefore, to avoid risks, drivers must master the following principles:
Stay focused while driving
Over 70% of accidents occur because drivers do not focus on driving. Subjective and objective factors greatly affect drivers, it is important that you know how to limit them and focus on driving. This is one of the safe driving experiences that we hear every day but it is not easy to do. Limit drinks with high alcohol concentration for the health and safety of yourself and your family.
Drive the car smoothly
As for the accelerator pedal, the driver needs to practice the habit of controlling it very gently. That means, when applying pressure on the accelerator pedal, you should gradually press down and practice listening, feeling the engine sound gradually increase, you should not press with too much force.

Understand traffic signals
People who are learning to drive, even many drivers who have "ridden a lot of cars" for a while, but do not pay attention to a small thing, which is how to signal and respond to signals appropriately when participating in traffic. In fact, when operating a vehicle on the road, letting others know how to drive is very important.
Put your heel on the car brake pedal
While driving, the driver must always place the heel of the right foot in line with the brake pedal. When needing to accelerate, the heel should be fixed and the toe of the shoe should be tilted to the right to meet the accelerator pedal (the heel should not be moved when controlling the accelerator and brake).
Every morning after starting the engine, do not move immediately. Spend 5 minutes sitting in the driver's seat practicing moving your right foot back and forth between the gas and brake pedals, thinking to yourself "this is the gas", "this is the brake".
