The reasons why people hesitate to drive after getting their license include lack of proficiency, poor mindset, and unfamiliarity with the vehicle model. Below are detailed explanations for the above reasons: Lack of Proficiency: Before preparing to drive, it is essential to master driving skills thoroughly so that you can be confident and composed. Poor Mindset: Maintain a good mindset. In daily driving, do not pursue speed; maintaining a moderate pace is sufficient. When starting to drive, it is best to drive slowly and accelerate only after becoming proficient. Unfamiliarity with the Vehicle Model: Become familiar with the vehicle model. While the internal structure of most cars is largely similar, there are some subtle differences. Before driving, you should get accustomed to the specific vehicle model.

After getting my driver's license, I've been too nervous to drive on actual roads, mainly because the driving school environment was too safe. On real roads, the traffic is heavy, and other drivers speed by so fast that I'm afraid I can't keep up or might have trouble parking. Making a mistake could easily lead to an accident—like accidentally changing lanes and getting rear-ended, or getting lost if the navigation fails. All of this stresses me out, so I'd rather take the bus or a taxi. I think the solution is to start with short trips on quiet streets, like driving to the supermarket for practice, gradually increasing the distance. A few more practice sessions should help build confidence. Remember, safety first—don't rush.

Are Pickup Trucks Fuel-Efficient?

Relatively large. The average fuel consumption of a standard pickup truck ranges from 10-12L/100km. The fuel consumption of a pickup truck is affected by various factors such as driving conditions, road surfaces, driver habits, and auxiliary power equipment, and should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: Check the air conditioning system in summer: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance may lead to increased fan speed and lower temperature settings to achieve a comfortable effect. Avoid frequent hard braking: Frequent hard braking is a major reason for high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. Moderate use of air conditioning in small-displacement vehicles: For vehicles exposed to the sun, avoid turning on the air conditioning immediately upon entering. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher speed without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside. Wait until the vehicle has cooled down moderately before turning on the air conditioning.

Is it unnecessary to buy car damage insurance after a few years?

Whether it is necessary to purchase car damage insurance depends on the model of the vehicle and the financial situation of the owner. Generally, private cars over 8 years old are not very suitable for purchasing insurance. Although car damage insurance can still be bought after 10 years, the corresponding coverage amount will be very low due to significant depreciation. Few insurance companies will underwrite policies for cars over 10 years old, and compensation will be made proportionally. Below is a related introduction to car damage insurance: Meaning of car damage insurance: Car damage insurance refers to compensation by the insurance company within a reasonable range when the insured or an authorized driver causes damage to the insured vehicle during an accident while driving. Coverage scope: This insurance does not cover theft, robbery, separate glass breakage, or separate wheel damage of the vehicle. Therefore, not all vehicle losses will be compensated by the insurance company after an accident.
