What to Pay Attention to When Just Getting a Driver's License?

When just getting a driver's license, pay attention to having all necessary documents ready for driving on the road, situations when you cannot drive, etc. Prepare all necessary documents for driving on the road: Understand the car's condition in advance, carefully check for any oversights, and ensure the license plate is not obscured. Do not drive under these circumstances: Do not drive after drinking, do not drive after taking medication, do not drive when fatigued, do not drive without a license, and do not drive when visibility is extremely poor. Follow traffic rules: When driving on the road, always obey traffic instructions, including traffic lights and road markings, and pay attention to yielding to other vehicles. Braking techniques for novice drivers: Release the brake once before the car comes to a complete stop when parking; press the brake pedal firmly during emergency braking; apply light braking over long distances; the braking system consists of a vacuum booster pump, master brake cylinder, wheel brake cylinder, brake pads, and brake discs.
When I first got my driver's license, I was extremely nervous. Later, I realized that getting familiar with your own car is the most important thing. First, get a feel for the brake and accelerator sensitivity—response speeds vary significantly between different car models. Don't rush to drive off immediately after getting in; adjust your seat and mirrors comfortably before starting. Panicking is the easiest way to get into trouble. Beginners should avoid rush hours in the morning and evening; instead, find a less crowded parking lot to practice reverse parking—eight out of ten scratches happen during parking. Remember, traffic signs are more reliable than navigation apps, which often have delayed voice prompts. Always carry your driver's license with you instead of leaving it in the car. Last year, my friend's car got stolen along with his license, and replacing it was a huge hassle. Try to avoid driving at night in the rain. If the windshield fogs up, turning on the AC to defog is much faster than wiping the glass. Wait at least three months before driving on the highway—newbies can easily lose control of the steering wheel when encountering the airflow from large trucks. Stay calm—letting other cars cut in is always better than a rear-end collision.
