Anyone who is new to driving will have awkward times, the important thing is to stay calm and confident. But there must be time to prepare, time to practice to accept that mentality.
Must master the law (this is obvious)
- However, you should focus on some principles of giving way. Because new drivers have to know how to give way, they cannot squeeze like hard drivers.
- Vehicles from branch roads or non-priority roads must yield to vehicles traveling on priority roads from all directions. Vehicles traveling on roads at the same level must yield to vehicles coming from the right direction. Vehicles outside the roundabout must yield to vehicles that have entered the roundabout first. Vehicles turning or turning must yield to vehicles going straight. Vehicles going downhill must yield to vehicles going uphill...
Everyone has a difficult time when they first get behind the wheel.
- Must know the signs. Get into the habit of reading the signs before entering a fork or intersection. Usually the sign is placed before the intersection, but the effect of the sign is after the intersection. If traveling in Hanoi, you should not follow the bus because: Firstly, the bus is big and bulky, it can easily obscure your vision and make it impossible to see the signs. Second, there are some routes that prioritize bus operations and prohibit cars. If you follow them, you will be fined.
Watch the car
Streets in the city are inevitably congested and the traffic is complicated, so they are easy to scrape. So you have to practice seeing and estimating. Many people have already told you how to practice in detail. I advise you to go to a quiet place and ask someone with experience for help.
As for motorbikes, you should arrange them around your car, sit in the driver's seat and look at and remember safe locations. Then practice a few times to remember. When watching cars, move forward or back very close to cars (ask someone to help turn signals), sit in the driver's seat and observe and remember safe locations. Then practice a few times to remember.
Skills in coordinating clutch, gear, throttle, and brake
The more you go, the better you will become. Depa should also be practiced in deserted places.
Backing and turning:
In my opinion, you have to practice this skill very well. The roads in the city are narrow and crowded, with many types of vehicles participating in traffic. It is legal to turn around at intersections, intersections, intersections or places where turning is allowed. But running in the street doesn't always follow the rules. Turning around so that it has little impact on other vehicles, without causing scrapes, accidents... is also a difficult problem for new drivers. You also have to practice backing up, especially horizontal grafting, which is often encountered in practice.
Go to the car wash bridge:
Just put the brakes on and check the tire tracks, otherwise it's easy to fall into a pit. This is also a difficult situation for new drivers. Of course, if it's too difficult, ask someone to wash your car.
Enter the garage of office parks or shopping malls
Going down to the basement is easy, but having to drive the car up to the 3rd floor with its winding, narrow and dark ramp is completely not easy for a new driver. If you put the brake pedal in reverse in these places, then you probably won't be able to drive.
There is congestion at the roundabout
This situation is not difficult. If you enter a roundabout with a slope, often congested like the roundabout Lo Duc, Tran Khat Chan, Kim Nguu and go from the direction of Kim Nguu up to turn to Tran Khat Chan, you will encounter a traffic jam with motorbikes and cars jostling. Being messy is really difficult.
At that time, you have to be calm, slow, on the right road, according to the rules, be ready to brake, put the brakes on continuously, and restart if the engine stalls. The important thing is not to let the car drift, not to let the car hit other cars...
Above are some notes for new drivers. If you want to be calm and confident when participating in traffic, you must first equip yourself with minimum knowledge and skills.
