What you need to learn to start:
When starting to learn how to drive, there are several key things you should focus on as a beginner driver:
1. Vehicle controls and basic operation:
- Understanding the dashboard instruments and controls - Proper seating position and mirror adjustments - Starting and stopping the engine - Using the gear shift (for manual transmission) - Operating the accelerator, brake, and clutch pedals 2. Basic driving skills: - Steering techniques - Accelerating and braking smoothly - Changing gears (for manual transmission) - Reversing and parking - Making turns (left, right, and U-turns) 3. Road rules and safety: - Traffic signs, signals, and road markings - Right-of-way rules - Speed limits and appropriate speeds for different conditions - Safe following distances - Checking blind spots |
4. Situational awareness:
- Scanning the road ahead and using mirrors - Anticipating potential hazards - Judging gaps in traffic 5. Maneuvering in traffic: - Merging onto roads - Changing lanes safely - Navigating intersections and roundabouts 6. Defensive driving techniques: - Anticipating other drivers' actions - Maintaining a safety cushion around your vehicle - Adapting to different weather and road conditions 7. Parallel parking and other parking techniques 8. Highway/motorway driving skills (usually covered later in the learning process) 9. Night driving and driving in adverse weather conditions 10.

Your driving instructor will typically start with the basics and gradually introduce more complex skills as you progress. The goal is to build a strong foundation of safe driving practices and develop the confidence to handle various driving situations.
