Well, first starting off with a simple trick, always remember to check the tire pressure of the car on a regular basis make it your habit. It will come in handy if you love long journeys. This rule is essential for older tires so try your level best to keep them and their air pressure in check. If not there is a high possibility that they will burst on the road causing you and others great inconvenience.
Use seatbelt on every journey; moreover, when stopping at red signal use handbrake to stop the car to avoid the car to roll forward or backward in case you forgot that road has a slope in it. Be careful driving in bad weather, remember to use recommended lights in rain, sunny and foggy day. Check the engine oil on a timely basis.
If your a biker always wear protective gear such as Helmet and Knee protector. Moreover, if you have a pillion quip him/her with a helmet as well for safety.
Moving onwards, if you are planning to travel to a snowy place change your regular tires with winter tires. Remember to store spare tire and necessary gadgets in the car in case of emergency. One iron rule for young and novice drivers is that always keep your distance from the car in front of you and press brake slow if there is a car behind you otherwise you might get into an accident.
When crossing a signal always see on all sides and get a satisfaction that no one is coming from any direction. Beginner drivers often make the mistake of not checking in all directions and get themselves into an accident.
Don’t drive rashly, lower your honk and stereo if you are near a hospital or on a busy road. It is seen that young drivers often use high-pitched speakers which cause great problems to others on the road. Two of main reasons that beginners forget which causes traffic accident on roads creating issues from them as well as for others is the use of mobile on the road and not using the indicator at an intersection or while moving to another lane. So never use mobile and use the indicator at an intersection and when changing a path.
