Driving can be a daunting task if you are just starting out. There are multiple things to keep in mind, and it can be a bit worrying. However, there really is nothing to worry about. Driving is a pleasure to learn and to engage in, so buckle up and get behind the wheel!
Whether it is your first driving lesson and your instructor or your driving supervisor is next to you or it is your first time out alone after passing the test, your nerves can take a beating over the whole experience. What you must do is try to remain calm and confident, sure that you can do it. Additionally, you need an instructor who will be patient with a flexible approach and who is able to stay calm even when students make mistakes. That is where our driving lessons in Ryde come into play. AutoGear driving school instructors will patiently guide you every step of the way.
First, get comfortable with your seat and the vehicle. Take your time, there is no hurry. Get acquainted with the feel of the car, adjust the seat to fit your requirement. Buckle up the seatbelt. Make sure you can see the vehicles coming from behind you on both sides by adjusting the mirrors. This will change according to each driver so be sure adjust the rear view mirror two side mirrors after each change of drivers, and also every time you get into the car. Make sure your rear-view mirror, as well as the side mirrors, at the proper angle. The side mirror should show part of your vehicle as well as the vehicle behind you.
Keep your focus on the driving and let it become fun for you. Remember to get plenty of practice reversing so that you don’t feel scared to reverse when driving. It is very important to become comfortable with the vehicle and with the manoeuvring beforehand so that on your first drive you won’t feel like you are looking for things. Also, you can opt to drive in areas you are familiar with or that have less traffic, thus avoiding unknown areas. In addition, you can avoid highways and toll roads so as to minimise the pressures.
That is what driving lessons from AutoGear Driving School in Ryde can do for you. We will prepare you and guide you as you take your first driving steps. Have fun driving!
