Driving a vehicle for the first time is one of the biggest milestones in everyone\u2019s life. You sit behind the wheel excited and slightly frightened and listen to your elder brother\u2019s guidelines carefully before placing your foot on the accelerator paddle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While everyone is bound to make unexpected mistakes, in the beginning, there are a few tips you can follow to stay safe while driving a car for the first time. In this brief guide, we\u2019ll share some of the most useful tips that\u2019ll help you embark on your driving journey and become a confident driver. Whether you have joined a professional <\/span>driving school in Melbourne<\/b><\/a> or are learning from your brother, these tips will help you drive in a safe environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, without any further ado, let\u2019s dive in.\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Get Comfortable<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As soon as you sit inside the car, the first thing would be to adjust the seat that suits your posture. The general thumb rule says that you should adjust the seat in such a way that your feet reach the paddles properly. After adjusting the seat, the next step would be to adjust the side mirrors carefully. If you are undergoing professional <\/span>driving lessons in Melbourne<\/b><\/a>, your driving instructor will teach you the basics of adjusting side mirrors properly so that you have a clear vision of the cars coming from behind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Stay Calm<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Many beginners tend to feel anxious on their first drive. While the initial nervousness is quite normal, you should not let it get to your mind at all. Stay calm and listen to every instruction of the instructor. In most cases, the driving instructors share a few beginner-friendly tips to help new drivers build the desired confidence and get past the initial anxiety. Even if you\u2019re learning from your friend or brother, make sure to maintain your composure all the time. This will help you avoid unexpected accidents and stay safe on the road.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Choose the Right Location<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        As a beginner, you can\u2019t directly go to crowded highways or unfamiliar roads. Instead, choose a road that has occasional traffic and is familiar to you as well. Driving on a familiar road is far safer than driving on a jam-packed highway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        If you\u2019re learning in a <\/span>driving school in Melbourne<\/b>, you won\u2019t have to worry about choosing the right road. Driving schools usually have their own tracks where the instructors spend 1-2 days with a beginner and help him\/her understand different dynamics of driving and build the initial confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          Don\u2019t Focus on Speed<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          As tempted as you are to press down the accelerator, don\u2019t try to cross a safe speed mark. Stay within your limits and focus on improving your control over steering and braking. Once you\u2019re comfortable with the steering, increase your speed gradually. However, it doesn\u2019t matter where you\u2019re driving, make sure to stay within the specified speed limits to avoid tickets and stay safe at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          So, these are a few tips that\u2019ll help a beginner driver learn different driving dynamics and improve his\/her confidence in a completely safe environment.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
