What are the precautions when practicing driving?

Here are the precautions to take when practicing driving: 1. Overtaking and lane changing: Be decisive and firm when overtaking or changing lanes, and try to stay as close as possible to the vehicle in front, especially on two-way lanes, to save time during overtaking. When changing lanes, always observe the traffic in the adjacent lane carefully through the rearview mirror, not only judging the distance but also the speed of the following vehicle. Only change lanes when it is safe to do so; otherwise, if a collision occurs, the lane-changing vehicle will bear full responsibility. 2. Listen to the engine sound: Unusual noises occur when the speed is high but the gear is low, or when the gear is mismatched. Similarly, abnormal sounds and body shaking can occur when driving at low speed with a high gear. Generally, after starting, shift to 2nd gear once the car is moving, and then shift to 3rd gear at around 40 mph. 3. Avoid frequently using neutral gear: Coasting in neutral can be used when the speed is low and safety is not compromised, but it consumes more fuel for fuel-injected cars. Never coast in neutral when going downhill, as it not only increases the risk of brake failure but also may cause the vehicle to lose control if the engine stalls.
