Apply some motorcycle driving techniques to driving a car
Both motorbikes and cars are vehicles that use internal combustion engines, their operating principles have many similarities, so there are many motorbike driving techniques you can apply to your car driving.
To have safe driving skills, first of all, new drivers need to perform the correct techniques, then practice until it becomes a natural reflex like an innate instinct.
When learning to drive a car, we learn and practice some basic operations: starting on the spot or on a slope, backing the car into the garage... When not yet proficient, inexperienced hands can easily cause the engine to stall, or the car to jump up, it is not unusual for it to roll back when starting. But when proficient, the driver can accurately feel the resistance on the road, as well as the engine's power.
The situation of mistakenly stepping on the brake instead of the gas, the car suddenly shoots up and crashes straight into a house or falls into a river will not happen. So how to have good driving skills? First, you have to operate the technique correctly, then practice it until it becomes a natural reflex like an innate instinct.
New drivers need to understand the differences in structure and operating principles of different types of vehicles, especially the type of vehicle they are attached to. For example, the issue between manual and automatic transmission vehicles.

In the current traffic situation, motorbikes are everywhere on every road and street. As a daily means of transportation, everyone has certain skills in controlling a two-wheeled vehicle. It is reasonable to think that the habit of using motorbikes causes some confusion when operating a car.
For example, the principle of an automatic car is to use only one foot, otherwise it will be very dangerous, because if you run at high speed, you can brake and accelerate at the same time, which can easily cause the car to flip over. Can that principle be applied to an automatic motorbike when it is not designed like a car?
The problem will be solved if the operations on each type of vehicle are practiced into a skill, you can use only one foot to switch between the brake and the accelerator without fear of confusion. With motorbikes, you need to practice smoothly the operation of "hand release the accelerator, foot brake" for manual transmission vehicles, or "release the accelerator, squeeze the brake" for scooters. Even if there is a car designed with one foot brake, one foot accelerator, you can still use it safely when you create the skill of braking "release the accelerator, step on the brake" and vice versa like the principle of "clutch in, release the accelerator" of manual transmission cars.
Accidents will never end if you do not have the proper braking skills. The debate about automatic cars being prone to mistakenly stepping on the brake instead of the accelerator, or about motorcycles being prone to pressing the brake and accelerator at the same time, will never end, and the opinion that they are unsafe vehicles will still persist.
Obviously, building driving skills is very important, it determines the accident rate especially in the current complex traffic conditions of Vietnam, with all kinds of vehicles with different structures and operating principles. In addition, there is no shortage of people running sideways. It should also be added that if everyone has proficient driving skills, the situation of running sideways will naturally disappear, because driving in the right lane has been trained as an instinct.
The last thing I want to say in this topic is that you cannot create driving skills if you only study for a few days, a few hours a day, today driving this car, tomorrow driving another car. If you do not actively learn and practice seriously, the desire to have driving skills is a distant dream.
