It’s an amazing feeling when you get your driver’s license. This license is the culmination of years of dreaming, studying, and practicing, and you finally have it in your hands. This is where your life as a driver begins. We’d like to give you some tips that have helped other new drivers here in Mt. Kisco, NY.
Practice
You practiced for your driver’s test and passed it. Now your practice begins in earnest. A driver becomes a good driver through following the rules and through practice. The more you drive, the smoother and faster your reflexes will become. There is no other way to learn your driving skills except through practical driving experience.
In time, many of the actions you have to think about will become second nature. You’ll no longer have to remember to check your rearview or side mirrors, but you’ll do this automatically. As driving becomes easier, you’ll become less nervous and enjoy the experience. Driving is one of life’s pleasures, and you’ll realize this sooner than you think.
No Cell Phones
Cell phones are an incredible invention that’s changed the world. You can talk to anyone, anywhere easier and quicker than a telephone ever could. With your phone in hand, you have access to enormous amounts of information about anything you desire. You can also contact family, friends, and colleagues through a wide variety of social media platforms.
The problems with cell phones and driving are all of the benefits above. Your phone is highly addictive and very distracting. Whenever a cell phone beeps, rings, or makes any other sound, everyone reaches to check if it’s their phone making the sounds. When you’re driving, you need to have your full attention on the road ahead and the area around you. For safety, it’s advisable to put your cell phone away until you stop your car.
Don’t Speed
Speeding kills, and it’s a fact. In an average year, there are approximately 9,500 fatalities directly caused by speeding. The worst thing about this tragic statistic is each accident was unnecessary and completely avoidable. It may seem tempting to go just a little faster to get to your destination sooner. It’s important to remember that the faster you travel, the longer it takes to stop.
Speed limits have been carefully designed and assessed to keep drivers and pedestrians safe. When you drive within the limit, you’ll easily be able to control your car and your speed. When you drive carefully, you’ll enjoy the ride and should reach your destination safely.
