7 Tips You Rarely Hear About on Your Driving Test

How to improve your driving skills? Learning how to drive opens up the world in a whole new way, giving you an incredible sense of freedom. But with this freedom comes responsibility: knowing how to navigate the road and being ready for whatever comes your way. Your life and the lives of others often depend on this! And while driving school taught you the basics, there are a handful of lesser-known driving tips you never learned sitting at a desk.

Do you know, for example, that listening to techno music can make you a worse driver? Or that blind spots are a very real problem? Or what “car horn etiquette” is? Let’s find out!

SUMMARY:
– One of the most common blind spots is behind you on your right side. Your side mirror on the right has a hard time seeing past the back corner of your car. This makes it easy to miss a car on your right just behind you.
– A study conducted by Professor Warren Brodsky revealed that music with a fast tempo turns people into more reckless drivers. Out of 28 drivers tested, those listening to music with a tempo of up to 120 beats per minute at a loud volume were more likely to run red lights and get into accidents.
– Did you know that your rearview mirror has a nighttime mode? And while it doesn’t seem like it matters all that much, it can keep you safer when driving at night. This small adjustment helps you see the headlights behind you more clearly at night.
– While the name suggests this brake shouldn’t be used on an everyday basis, you should get in the habit of using it even when you don’t necessarily have to.
– A quick beep means you’re just trying to create awareness. Perhaps you’re in someone’s blind spot and they’re about to cut you off as they switch into your lane.
– A longer beep can be used if you are in immediate danger and need to get the attention of another driver. Maybe they’re making a wide turn and didn’t look to see you coming in their direction.
– If your car begins to drift, resist the urge to slam on the brakes as this can make matters worse. Instead, turn your wheels in the direction the back of your car is sliding.
– If your car is rear-wheeled, pull back on the throttle, and, like the automatic car, veer in the direction you’re drifting. If your car is front-wheeled, simply pull the throttle up.
