What should I pay attention to when I just got my driver's license?

New drivers on the road need to pay the most attention to the transition in both skills and mindset, followed by traffic common sense. Here are some relevant introductions for new drivers: 1. Skills and mindset: Skills require practice—find a less crowded area to practice more. The mindset needs to shift from the test environment (Subject 3) to actual road conditions. Driving during Subject 3 and driving after obtaining the license are two different things. During Subject 3 practice, you are driving a training vehicle. 2. Displaying the probationary sign: However, after getting the license and driving a private car on the road, other drivers may not be as courteous. Therefore, it is necessary to affix a probationary sign in the appropriate position on the car to let others know you are a beginner, which enhances safety. 3. Following distance: Another key point is understanding the following distance. In Subject 3, the following distance is based on specific tasks. During practice, you follow a fixed sequence on a fixed route, and the actions of the vehicle ahead are predictable. Real driving is different because you cannot anticipate what the car in front will do next. Many drivers in China do not use turn signals and often brake abruptly, which can lead to accidents if the following driver lacks experience. Although maintaining a safe distance is challenging in urban areas.
