3. Whether you take a course in
driving, which is really
recommended, or you learn on
your own, there are certain
fundamentals, which will hold you
in good stead as you are learning
to drive. The first item of business
is to get to know the equipment,
so just sit in the driver’s seat, and
have someone describe all of the
gadgets to you.

4. Items that you will need to know about include the ignition
switch, the steering wheel, the accelerator, the shift lever, the
brakes, the turn signal, and all of the mirrors. That seems like
pretty basic stuff, because everyone knows all about those
things.

5. It is a good idea with another person who is a driver
already, to take a short drive in a parking lot or
somewhere where there is no traffic to just get use to
using all of the just mentioned items while you are
actually moving.

6. Learn how to start from a standing stop, and how much you
press the accelerator to start slowly, and then increase
speed. Get the feel of how hard to press the brake when you
want to slow down or stop. Use the brakes, flick the turn
signal, etc. Just get a good feel for the car.

7. Learn how to put the car in reverse,
and how to turn while you are backing
up. Learn to look in the mirrors, the
one in the middle of the windshield and
the two on each side of the car so you
can see what is coming from in back of
you. Learn how and when to use the
turn signals.

8. The main thing that you want to take away while you are
practicing is how to have control of your vehicle at all
time. Learn what speed is the best for each situation and
learn to always have an escape route if an emergency
crops up.
