Beginner drivers should pay attention to using turn signals, displaying the novice driver sign, maintaining a safe distance, etc. The specific precautions are as follows: Familiarize yourself with the route in advance: Before hitting the road, it's best for beginners to check the route to their destination. They should become familiar with the road conditions to avoid going in the wrong direction. Beginners who have just learned to drive must control their speed and avoid driving too fast, especially in crowded areas. They must stay alert and clearly distinguish between the brake and accelerator pedals. Learn to use the rearview mirrors: Using the rearview mirrors is crucial. Whether changing lanes or making turns, always check the mirrors for oncoming vehicles. Remember to use turn signals: Beginner drivers should also remember to use the appropriate turn signals when turning. Many beginners forget this, and the same applies when overtaking—always use the turn signal. Have an experienced driver accompany you: If your driving experience is limited, consider having an experienced driver accompany you. They can provide guidance from the passenger seat. Display the novice driver sign: Place the novice driver sign on the rear window of your car—it can be very helpful for beginners. Maintain a safe distance between vehicles: Beginner drivers often struggle to estimate the length and size of their vehicles. Therefore, it's advisable to keep a larger gap and distance between vehicles while driving to avoid rear-end collisions.

As a driver with years of experience, I think new drivers must pay attention to safety details. Always fasten your seatbelt first when getting in the car—it's a basic life-saving measure. Don't rush to accelerate; obey the speed limit of 30-40 km/h in urban areas—speeding makes losing control easier. Constantly observe road conditions: the movement of vehicles ahead, pedestrians, traffic signals, and check the rearview mirror frequently to monitor the situation behind. Maintaining a safe following distance is crucial—leave enough space to brake smoothly if the car ahead stops (the 3-second rule). New drivers often overlook blind spot checks—always turn your head to confirm before changing lanes. Practice driving in parking lots to get familiar with braking distances and turning radii; don’t rush onto highways—start with short trips first. Roads are slippery in rain—reduce speed by 20% and turn on headlights for better visibility. Distractions are deadly—never touch your phone. Safety comes first; experience will come with time.

I just got my driver's license and remember my heart racing during my first drive. Now I've summarized some tips: Take deep breaths to calm yourself before starting, and find an experienced driver to sit beside you for guidance. Controlling speed is crucial—don't speed up just because others are urging you; slow down and steer steadily when turning. Pay attention to traffic lights, unlike me who got distracted and missed a green light. Signal a few seconds early when changing lanes and repeatedly check mirrors to ensure safety. Practice reverse parking in an empty space multiple times to get familiar with the car's response. Drive even more cautiously in the rain—turn on wipers and lights. Don't blame yourself too much for mistakes, like that time I braked suddenly and scared someone, but learn something new each time. Drive slowly and steadily—arriving safely is the best!

From a psychological perspective, emotional stability is crucial for novice drivers. Don't let nervousness affect judgment—take a few deep breaths to relax before driving. Set up a comfortable yet simple in-car environment, avoiding high-decibel music that may distract. For initial drives, choose familiar routes for short distances and avoid peak hours to reduce stress. Don't panic over mistakes; skills like parking improve with practice. Control anger when encountering aggressive drivers, focusing on your own safety. Rainy or nighttime driving may heighten anxiety, so prepare by checking lights and reducing speed. With proper mental preparation, driving becomes naturally smooth; safety stems from inner calm.
