What a First Time Driver Needs to Know – Tips and Advice | Roberts Automotive and Industrial Parts Manufacturing Corporation

First-time drivers are always eager to grab the keys, turn on the engine, step on the accelerator, and dominate the steering wheel. They yearn to experience that exhilarating feeling that comes from driving on a wide road that’s unhindered by irritable traffic. However, it is also typical for a first-time driver to feel the jitters before getting behind the wheel. Eventually, a driver has to let go of his or her fears. But fearlessness does not equate to stupidity. First-time drivers don’t have to be conquered by jitters if they take note of these essentials before they go off on their first drive.

Preparation, Preparation, Preparation

Preparation is an essential ingredient in smooth driving. You have to familiarize yourself with all the road rules to avoid hurting yourself or anyone else on the road, whether it’s a passenger, a pedestrian, or a fellow driver. It’s standard for a driver to check all the imperative car parts before traveling. It does not have to be a thorough inspection everyday – check the tires, gas level, mirrors, seats, windows, etc. The driver should browse the car’s manual, which should ALWAYS be kept inside the glove compartment or the compartments on the front doors. Keep a spare tire in the trunk, as well as repair and maintenance tools.
