| Some more tips:
1. Check insurance rates on candidate cars before deciding. Insurance rates can vary greatly based on the year / make / model / trim of car.
2. Keep learning as you drive.
3. Try to keep a margin of safety around you. For example, do you have enough space in front of you so that if the vehicle ahead changes lanes to unmask stopped traffic, you have enough time to stop or go around the stopped traffic? When going around a curve or over the hill, will you be able to stop if there is a stopped traffic jam just beyond?
4. Avoid surprising other road users. Signal your turns and lane changes, and avoid driving in other drivers' blind spots. |
