How Many Kilometers Do Beginner Drivers Typically Need to Drive Before Becoming Proficient?
1 Answers
Driving proficiency can generally be measured by the number of kilometers driven. The first 3,000 kilometers represent a purely novice period. Tips for beginner drivers: When driving, try to lean your body back slightly to keep your arms in a relaxed and extended position. Focus your gaze 50-100 meters ahead to allow more reaction time for unexpected situations. Additionally, avoid driving directly behind or parallel to the vehicle in front, especially large trucks, as this can create blind spots. Driving too close behind another vehicle, particularly a large one, can obscure your view of sudden changes like traffic signals or emergencies, making it harder to react in time. Drive cautiously and prioritize safety: The 5,000-kilometer mark is when many drivers falsely consider themselves experienced. This stage is particularly prone to accidents. At this point, many drivers feel overly confident and tend to drive faster. However, their ability to handle emergencies is still insufficient, and accidents often occur within fractions of a second. It's crucial to remind everyone to drive cautiously and prioritize safety above all else.
