DRIVER’S EDUCATION ROADMAP
Is Your Head on a Swivel?
Is your Head on a Swivel? An important concept to remember when learning to drive or teaching your teenager to drive is the concept of keeping your head on a swivel.
Road Test Day
Parallel Parking
Parallel parking is one of those topics that sends fear through the hearts and souls of most drivers young and old, but this need not be the case.
How to Make a Proper Y-Turn
The Y-turn is great on city streets and rural roads when the need arises to turn around. If done properly, it can be quick and safe.
Driving Practice #3
As your behind the wheel lessons progress, so will your skills. As you begin to get a good hold on some of the more rudimentary tasks, your instructor will guide you into more and more complex tasks and situations. Driving is a very complex task that is always different every time that you do it and it is constantly changing even as you drive. It would be impossible for anyone to teach you everything about all of the situations that you are likely to be confronted with. There are simply too many variables.
Driving Practice #2
The first few times that you practice driving are likely to seem uncomfortable and confusing. You aren’t used to the car, you aren’t familiar with centering the car on your lane and you may have never experienced the view from behind the wheel before. There are many new things happening all at once. Even if you followed my advice and practiced in a parking lot, once you get out onto the road, things change drastically. Not only do you need to be able to control the vehicle like you did in the parking lot, but now you also need to worry about lanes, speed limits, traffic, pedestrians and so much more.
Driving Practice #1
Practicing your driving is probably the most important aspect of your driver’s education. I can tell you all about how everything works here on Driver’s Education Roadmap, your classroom instructor can give you all sorts of good information in the classroom, and your behind the wheel instructor can explain it all in detail, showing you what you need to know to get you driving, but we only have a limited time with you. To really learn to be a great driver, you need to practice and you need to practice often.
