TIPS FOR NEW DRIVERS
Just got your driver’s license? Congratulations! You’ve officially joined some 200 million other folks across the U.S. behind the wheel. It’s an exciting step toward independence and adulthood, but it’s also a big responsibility, and it’s important that you balance this (awesome) freedom with caution and safe behavior. Remember, what you do in the driver’s seat not only affects you, but everyone else on the road, too.Driving tips for new driversTo that end, we’ve put together a few tips to help you have fun and stay safe out there all on your own.
1. OBEY ALL TRAFFIC RULES. There’s a reason the driving exam includes both a road test and a written one. From road signs to right-of-way, there are a whole bunch of rules that drivers are required to understand and follow. Learn them and use them.
2. SLOW DOWN! Speeding is one of the leading factors in fatal crashes involving young drivers. Basically, the higher your speed, the less time you have to stop your car and the worse any impact—and subsequent injuries—will likely be.
3. KEEP YOUR CAR IN GOOD RUNNING SHAPE. Taking care of your car can help you avoid breakdowns and other potential accidents. This includes regular oil changes and tune-ups, checking tire pressure (don’t forget the spare!), regular tire rotation, checking brake fluid and coolant levels, and filling up the gas tank before it hovers too close to “E”.
4. WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT. Always. And make sure your passengers wear theirs, too. In fatal car accidents, more than half of teens (56%) were found to have been unbuckled [1]. Save a life (maybe your own), and buckle up.
5. AVOID DISTRACTIONS. Keep your eyes on the road. That means no texting, no calling, no eating, no channel surfing on the radio, and no turning around to chat with friends in the backseat. Accidents can happen in a split second, but if you’re paying attention, you’ll have a better chance of avoiding one.
6. ADJUST YOUR ACCESSORIES. No, not your bling. We’re talking about making sure your seat is in a comfortable spot and checking all mirrors to make sure you’ve got the best view possible.
7. DON’T TAILGATE. Following too closely is one of the leading causes of rear-end accidents. Just remember the 3-second rule: Pick an object on the road ahead (like a sign, tree or overpass) and when the vehicle in front of you passes the object slowly count “one-one thousand, two-one thousand, three-one thousand.” If you reach the object before completing the count, you’re following too closely.
8. BE PREPARED. In case of accidents, breakdowns or other emergencies, your car should always contain important driving documents and an emergency kit with everything you’d need for extended time in your vehicle.
9. WATCH THE WEATHER. Rain, wind and snow can all make driving more difficult and dangerous. If it’s wet out, make sure your headlights are on, slow down, and increase your following distance. (Braking takes longer when roads are slick.) Most importantly, if the conditions are too treacherous, it’s better to just stay off the roads.
10. DON’T DRIVE UNDER THE INFLUENCE. Just don’t. This includes being under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or lack of sleep. Nobody should have to tell you how severe the consequences can be.
