Are you going to be getting your driver’s license soon? Our experienced Mazda dealers have created safety tips to ensure safe driving every time you get behind the wheel. If you’re experienced, read on anyway; a refresher never hurts!
Safety Tips for New Drivers
Safety is essential for new drivers due to the various situations they may encounter on the road. Driving responsibly will ensure the welfare of yourself and other drivers to prevent collisions and save lives. The safety tips include:
1. Know Your Car
Take time to familiarize yourself with your car. This is essential since no two cars’ handling, braking, and performance will be quite the same. This is especially important if it’s a vehicle you’ve never driven before.
2. Maintain a Safe Speed
Be aware of the speed limit, especially on roads where driving conditions are less than ideal. Driving too fast endangers you, your passengers, and others since you have less time to anticipate and less space to break or change lanes if needed.
3. Understand and Obey Road Signs
Understanding road signs is another key to a safe trip. Following the road signs, safety signals, and pavement markings will help give you confidence while you drive. The road signs have been put up for a reason.
4. Remove Distractions
As a new driver, you will need to focus on the road. Get rid of or reduce distractions that take your attention off the road. Turn your phone or put it on silent. The call, text, or social media post can wait.
5. Look After Your Car
Routine vehicle maintenance will help your car run efficiently and lessen the probability of future repairs. Read through your car’s manual to learn about maintenance procedures.
