Driving Tips

When learning to drive, the coach teaches the following points.

The experiences I have summarized include practical road-reading, lane positioning, parking awareness, and safe driving habits.

What the Coach Teaches During Driving Lessons

  1. Look as far as you can while driving.
  2. Do not stare at the opposite car when the wrong car appears.
  3. When overtaking, first look at the rearview mirrors, then look out of the left window in case there is a car coming up in the blind corner of the rearview mirror, and then use the signal light to start overtaking.
  4. Be slow before driving on the main road. If there are obstacles, stop first, then confirm that there is no car before entering the road.

These points are all because the use of vision during driving accounts for more than 90% of the use of all senses, but the eyes can easily deceive us. For safety, we must be careful.

Staring at the opposite car can easily affect the hand holding the steering wheel, and it is easy to deviate and bump into it accidentally.

Parking and lane awareness

Experience I Have Summarized

  1. When driving, pay attention to the white line on the side of the road. If the left one extends to the lower-left corner of the front window and disappears, and the right one extends to the middle under the car window and disappears, it is driving in the middle of the road.
  2. When driving in the urban area, always pay attention to the front, back, left, and right, especially when there are pedestrians. Even if they hesitate to cross the road, stop rather than hit people.
  3. Before reversing, be sure to look at the front, back, left, and right. If necessary, you can also lower the left window to listen. When you see children, drive slowly.
  4. Be sure to use the indicator light before changing lanes. When driving in the city, you should always prepare for the brake with your right foot.

In parallel parking spaces on the roadside, the two headlights of the vehicle behind can also serve as a reference point.

Fuel saving

EcoDrive Class: Save Fuel and Reduce Emissions

I once took an EcoDrive class. On how to save fuel and reduce emissions, the main points are:

  1. Shift gears fast. This is not to say how fast the action should be, but the time interval between shifting from gear 1 to gear 3 should be short.
  2. When the speed limit is 50, it is unnecessary to hang on the 3rd gear. The 5th gear can drive 50 kilometers per hour, but it is more fuel-efficient.
  3. The acceleration process should be fast. Step on the accelerator and quickly increase the speed from 50 to 80, which is more fuel-efficient and exhausts less exhaust gas than slowly increasing from 50 to 80.
  4. When you need to decelerate, you do not have to step on the brakes. The engine also has a deceleration function, which is to reduce gears, for example from 5 to 4 or 3, which can extend the life of the brakes.

Safety reminder

Final Safety Reminder

Finally, we must ensure the safety of driving. Do not drive when you are angry, do not seize the road with people, do not drag racing with others, observe more, and drive carefully.
