Safety Tips for New Drivers

Always wear your seatbelt. If you have passengers, remind them that they have to wear their seatbelts at all times. It is never cool to not wear a seatbelt. Seatbelts aren’t merely car accessories you can choose not to use. Many lives have been saved by this car feature.
 
Respect traffic rules. If you do not know or understand traffic rules, traffic lights, and traffic signs, review them right now before you get behind the wheel again. Traffic rules are there to keep all motorist safe.
 
Never drink and drive. Do we even have to explain this part? If you are going on a night out with friends and you’re planning to have a drink, book an Uber instead.
 
Drive within speed limits. If you find yourself always in a hurry, then start leaving home early. Do not overspeed if you don’t want to get a ticket or worse, get in an accident.
 
Be a defensive driver. Always be in the side of caution. Other motorists are not as respectful of traffic rules and speed limits as you. Just be on the safe side at all times.
 
Check your car’s condition regularly. From fuel to engine oil to tires, you must always check all parts of your car regularly. Depending on how much you use your car, you can schedule yearly or bi-yearly maintenance checks too.
 
Do not use your mobile phone while driving. Whether you’re making a call or reading a message, wait until you are parked on the side of the road before touching your mobile phone. In fact, you should avoid all types of distracted driving.
