5 Driving Tips for New Drivers from Pros

Hey there, BrightSiders! Do you have a driving license?

When making a left turn when there are 2 lanes turning left and you are in the left (inside) do not turn at the same time a 18 wheeler is turning because it could cross into your lane and side swipe you. I learned that the hard way.

Nope! My permit license expire 2026 and I live in Colorado. I got so much time to practice for the REAL driver's license test! I'm 40 and still need more improvements on being awareness of incoming cars by yield and 4 way intersections stop signs of who has the right-of-ways & people walking in the day/nights using crosswalks. I just need to normal pace speed driving and keep it there, slow down and not go too fast for a pull-over for a ticket passing the speed limit signs or run pass red lights. These are very helpful tips. Thank you!

Just get to the point man

I just passed the computer test 100% marks.

these videos always assume a new driver will be overly cocky and that’ll be the problem, and then they fail to help someone like me who’s problem is being overly nervous. Some stuff was helpful here but gosh i know i’m not the only nervous driver!

Now and days you cant flash no one cause the majority who have their lights off are actually doing a drive by

Is anyone watching this because they are not fully experienced drivers? Also, question what if you are 16 and you started driving without a permit?

If all these tips are not part of your lessons.. You got the wrong driver school!

Missing a turn isn’t the end of the world, stop acting like it is

I have never driven a car in my life, but I know that you should never have your brights on in fog or heavy rain. The light reflecting off the drops can temporarily impair your visibility, or worse, make you crash.

TIP: Do not sleep and drive at the same time. You might get a stiff neck.

about hte having the Light on in bad wether. its better to allways have your light on. If the Sun is setting or getting up and it blinds oncoming Traffic they will have a much better time seeing you.

im 16 and im old enough to get a drivers liscense

I trained for the first time today and it's so hard to get used to the brakes 🥲 I was going forward but i kept on accidentally putting pressure on the brakes at the same time.

Y does the driver's license of the guy in the beginning not look like the person in the motercycle

interesting...

My dads a A1 and semi driver focus on yourself not other drivers but always look to your surroundings and all of your mirrors.

A news driver is here I’m learning fast . there are some fears inside me at the same time Im so excited

Who else wants to drive to school next year?

If its raining don't drive fast I learned the hard way and almost died. No bs I thought I was the best driver ever until the day I spun out in the road, went into a ditch spinning, barely missed a brick house, and went airborne on their driveway into the woods. Please don't be in a hurry, be safe.

When he says drive slowly in rainy weather he doesn’t mean go from 70mph to 22mph. That will be considered driving completely below the speed limit and you can get pulled over for doing it.

You have a larger chance to getting pulled over for driving TOO slow. I’m calling some of y’all out.

Learn to drive with 2 feet, u have 2 not 1, is common sense.

I'm 12 and my dream is to drive a Lamborghini SUV at 18 don't worry I already drove a car it was a BMW

Remember signaling doesn’t give you right of way. You need to use mirrors and do shoulder check. You must have at least have enough room to switch lanes.

I drove for the first time today and the main thing that bothers me is how sensitive the gas is

My advice is, "Don't road rage just because u have a license".

Who else is getting they're license this year

What if I have giant legs and feet

Watching this makes me appreciate all the driver assistance tech that my car has

To any new driver, as soon as the car in front of you stops, please stop.If you are far enough, hit the brakes gradually. If you are following really close and aren't able to see their bottom types, HIT THOSE BRAKES ASAP PLEASE. To be at a safe traveling distance, it is better to use the 2 second rule and 4 second rule for rainy days. Basically, travel at a distant where you'll be able to comfortably come to a stop when needed.

What's the name of the song?

Love videos like these. Just got my permit🙏 - hands rub together in excitement- ✏📖🔐

ok

Just play gta

Oh yeah

I remember the first time I drove a car (I was 15 and drove my dads pickup) and my legs would feel like spaghetti😂

Is it bad that I’m 18 and still don’t drive I’m still learning but is it bad?

I want a car but am not 18 am 15 😫

LEFT TURN AWARNESS!!!!!!!!even after driving for 4 years i still have to remind myself, most of the accidents i see are left turn

Getting your driver's license means the first part of your education is complete. The rest of the class is a lifelong journey towards becoming a complete driver. Every time you get behind the wheel is a new lesson. You learn something with every new situation you find yourself in. Just like poker really, you can learn the rules real quick, but mastering the game takes decades.

Just drove with my dad for the first time and he told me to watch this video 😐

Hey! Somewhat experienced driver here
If driving in snow or any other slippery conditions like rain in a FWD/RWD car. Be easy on the gas when making a turn, you can and most likely will fishtail if you aren't careful.

Americans can't drive for a reason 😂😂

I just started driving and I’m nervous but not to the point to where it is distracting me . It’s more an exciting nervous where I’m more excited to drive than anything but I’m just bad at it is all lol.

I drive on public roads as a part of my job in a pickup truck that's obviously a work truck and has my company's branding all over it.

Drive past us: the work truck probably has a set speed limit they're allowed to travel and are trying to travel as fast as they can which is most likely around the speed limit.

I see so many times where there's a line of traffic on the highway because a car is just tailing a work vehicle and others are doing the same and then other work vehicles can't pass even two or three cars because the speed required to do so would alert their bosses. Literal conga lines on the highway with plenty of clear road ahead because a few vehicle won't pass a work vehicle and makes it seem like there's way more traffic ahead.

Also, there are many times when several cars on the highway are traveling side by side at the same speed; please try to slow down, accelerate, or merge and work together so there's literally not a travelling wall on the highway obstructing the flow of traffic. Generally don't impede the flow of traffic.

Don't travel slowly in the left lane and let cars pass you: yea you might think the speeding person is being reckless but they won't be the only person trying to pass you and you're also introducing a new risk to the road by creating a situation where faster drivers would want to drive around you and possibly pass dangerously through traffic.

I get nervous to drive I’m going to look at a car today and might drive to work tmmr ! Coming back in 1 month to see the progress I’ve made :)
