Precautions and driving tips for beginners are: 1. Adjust the seat and rearview mirrors properly, and fasten the seat belt; 2. Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front, keeping about 10 meters so that if the front vehicle encounters any situation, there is time to react; 3. When parking, if you can see the tires of the front vehicle through the windshield, it indicates a relatively safe distance, which is about 1.5 meters from the front vehicle; 4. Pay attention to the blind spots on the left front side and when reversing, mainly referring to the two pillars in front of the windshield. Drivers should try to have a wider field of vision, especially when turning, and should tilt their heads to observe the situation; 5. When overtaking, the vehicle in front can easily block the view, making it difficult to see the situation ahead of the front vehicle. Be very careful when overtaking. If the situation ahead of the front vehicle cannot be determined, it is best not to force overtaking, and avoid overtaking on curves. For beginners, safe driving is all about being cautious. Do not be overconfident in your skills. If you are not 100% sure, do not perform any maneuvers, especially in more complex environments.
When I first started learning to drive, I was extremely nervous, but later realized that staying relaxed is the most important thing. Always buckle up—no shortcuts; before changing lanes, always check the rearview mirror and blind spots—don’t just rely on gut feelings to turn. When starting at traffic lights, avoid slamming the accelerator—beginners can easily lose control and crash. On city roads, watch out for electric scooter riders—they appear out of nowhere. At night, adjust your headlights properly—don’t blind oncoming traffic with high beams, or you’ll get honked at. On highways, accelerate smoothly when merging into the main lane—don’t hesitate and block traffic behind you. Practice parking often, like parallel parking in an empty lot repeatedly. In rain or fog, slow down and maintain a safe distance to avoid rear-end collisions. In short, beginners shouldn’t rush to show off skills—getting home safely is the real win.
