How Should Beginners Drive in the City?
1 Answers
First and foremost, it is essential to familiarize yourself with urban road conditions, remain vigilant of surrounding non-motorized vehicles, recognize traffic signs, yield to pedestrians, and maintain high concentration. Consciously adhere to traffic rules to ensure safe and civilized travel. Key considerations for beginners driving on city roads: 1. Overtake Decisively: It's unrealistic for beginners to stick strictly to one lane without changing lanes or overtaking. Once the decision to overtake is made, do so decisively and try to get as close as possible to the vehicle ahead to minimize overtaking time. Hesitation should be avoided. 2. Observe Traffic Flow When Changing Lanes: Always check the traffic flow in adjacent lanes via the rearview mirror before changing lanes, and judge the safe distance based on the speed of the vehicles behind. Additionally, according to traffic regulations, turn signals must be activated in advance before changing lanes. Failure to do so will make the lane-changing vehicle fully liable in the event of a collision. 3. Have a Companion: It's advisable for beginners to have someone accompany them while driving. Having an experienced driver by your side acts as a 'reassuring presence,' providing a 'backbone' for your driving. This helps prevent nervousness and fumbling, allowing your driving skills to be displayed normally. Any mistakes made during driving can also be promptly pointed out and corrected with their assistance.
