How to Overcome the Four Major Obstacles for Beginner Drivers?
1 Answers
Methods for beginner drivers to overcome the four major obstacles are as follows: 1. Always set up the GPS before driving and preview the map. The biggest obstacle for novice drivers, especially female drivers, is unfamiliarity with the route. Carefully review the planned route, and memorize key landmarks, major side roads, and directions during the journey. 2. Beginner drivers often forget to check the rearview mirror, side mirrors, or use turn signals, panicking and blanking out on what they learned in driving school. In reality, rearview and side mirrors are essential tools for monitoring traffic conditions around the vehicle. Novice drivers must remember: before overtaking, reversing, or changing lanes, always observe the mirrors thoroughly to assess the surroundings and remember to signal. 3. At traffic lights or congested areas, experienced drivers excel at "finding gaps," while beginners often struggle with the urge to cut in but lack the skill. This situation is highly risky—poor control over speed and steering combined with hesitation can easily lead to accidents. Thus, beginners should prioritize safety by slowing down appropriately in such scenarios. 4. When parking, watch for both large obstacles behind the space and subtle low-lying ones like fire hydrants or curbs. During reversing, seek assistance from attendants if possible, proceed slowly, and activate the parking sensors for extra caution.
