On Driving Lessons

​Some Basics,

1. Do not get stressed about driving.  

2. You have to enjoy it. Remember it is a life skill that makes you spatially free.  

3. On the Road, you have as much right as anyone else. Also as much Duty.

4. Some Tips:

    a) Don't get intimated by aggressive drivers, keep your cool & let them Pass(ignore honking)  

    b) Be Alert. Always keep looking in the Rear & Side Mirrors, every 10 seconds. You should have a 360 view of the surroundings.

    ​c) Changing lanes is the most complex, u need to show the Signal10 meters before merging. Always look over your shoulder once before merging, to avoid blind spots, which r invisible are in the Side Mirrors   

   d) Always Start & Stop slowly. Sudden movement creates confusion.

   e) Follow Signs(Stop, Yield, Turns) rigorously

4. As you are left-handed, I guess your reflexes might not match the Instructors.

5. If you make a mistake, don't take it personally. Understand what went wrong & correct it.

6. Drive defensively. You control only 50% of the driving, the rest is on the other guy. Need to anticipate what other(Idiot) might do, without Panicking.

7. This is just the first phase. Mom took 15 lessons, I failed both written & driving tests once. Took me 3 months to get the License.

8. This is just a Learning License not the end of the world.

Just take a deep breath & let go of the tension & enjoy the ride.
