Well it's hard to avoid accidents kasi kahit gaano ka maayos magdrive, masyado madaming asswipes na ibang motorists. So just keep to following the traffic rules and install a dash cam.

Put medium tint on your car especially if you drive alone most times. It's easier to spot victims if no tint.
NEVER leave your car open or move slowly around it. Pagkapark, baba agad tapos brisk walk to a more populated section and vice versa pag sasakay naman. Kung madami dala like if shopping or buying groceries, patulong kayo sa bagger boys.
On evenings, pag binangga kayo o kaya may kung ano mang loud noise or whatever, drive to a more populated area or better if you can find a police/baranggay/gas station before looking at what happened to your car. NEVER STOP to check kasi eto no.1 modus.
Tell a loved one where you're going or where you're driving through. Better yet, get an app where they can track your location.

Follow the car maintenance schedule usually the casa or talyer will tell you what to do next.
Before leaving the house, check your car for gas level, fluids, air pressure, tire wear, spare tire, lights/signal, battery, and emergency kit. Nakakatamad yes but better to be safe than sorry ;)

Best of luck sissies :)

^^ yup, nag-driving school ako ng April, 5 sessions na tig-2hrs. Sa last session, own car ginamit namin, pumayag naman ang instructor, para masanay ako sa pedals ng car namin.

Got my non-pro ng May. First few drives ko e kasama si hubby, nasa passenger side sya. Nagko-comment sya at nagbibigay ng tips (na minsan nainis ako, haha).

When hubby left for a 2-week trip, ayun no choice but to drive on my own. Tapos sinundo ko na din sya sa airport ng ako lang mag-isa when he got back.

When i drive alone, i put my handbag sa floor sa may passenger seat. Para hindi kita agad (at maging temptation) pag may sumilip pag nakatigil sa traffic. And i make sure na lagi naka-lock ang pinto, mula pagsakay hanggang sa makarating ng destination. Before leaving, make a quick check sa paligid ng car. pagsakay, lock doors, adjust mirrors, check fuel, etc. Bilin din ni hubby na if may nambato ng windshield sa may tunnels/underpass, wag mag-stop. Look for nearest gas station, park there and dun i-check ang damage. Pag nakatigil sa traffic, don't open windows ng basta-basta. If you must, small lang, yung hindi kasya kamay ng tao from outside.

Re accidents, minsan talaga kahit gaano tayo kaingat, me mga g**o pa din sa daan. So follow traffic rules and be observant sa paligid while on the road. Keep a safe distance from the car in front of you, and avoid sudden abrupt brakes, para yung nasa likod mo e aware din esp if medyo dikit sya sa yo. Wag magpa-pressure sa mga kaskasero at nagmamadali sa daan (lalo yung atat na atat sa pagbusina). As long as you are within reasonable speed limit (not too slow naman as to disrupt traffic flow), hayaan mo na, padaanin mo na yung mga nagmamadali. Don't hog lanes.

And if i know na mapapadaan ako sa tollgate, i make sure my wallet or money (or e-pass) is within easy reach (either nasa passenger seat sa tabi ko, or sa lagayan ng coins/bottles sa may kambyo).

Practice as much as you can
Read up on driving rules & safety
Google modus operandi of evil people preying on female drivers

Check your gas and water always full --  lalo na  rainy season & traffic is horrendous: your car may overheat

Think out your route before driving off.
Better take major streets quesa side streets in the interest of safety.

Keep your valuables in the car away from windows and preferably hidden.
Never open windows

IMO, a good safety feature now is a dashboard cam.  If the MMDA traffic enforcers flag you down, a most c--- group, in addition to the dashboard cam -- switch on your cell video to record your encounter.

Prior to entering or exiting your car -- be very aware of what's around you.  Always be alert. A small dose of paranoia may save your life.

YES. Practice makes perfect. I usually drive with my mother during my newbie days pero lagi siyang nagpapanic at ayoko ng ganun. Minsan sinabi ko sa kanya:

"Quiet ka lang. Nasisira diskarte ko eh"

:DDDD

This is very important: pag sakay na pag sakay mo sa driver's seat, mag lock ka agad ng pinto. Then after that, ska mo i-on yun ignition.
Dati ang ginagawa ko nag start muna ako ng engine, kasi nag auauto lock naman yung car ko, but then i read that somewhere I think sa Cosmo mag. Naging practice ko na yun since then. :)

Dapat nasa lanes ka lage.
kapag gabi o nasa parking lot na madilim magbukas ka ng ilaw.
check mo yun ilaw, aircon, radio kase yan ang madalas makalimutan after magpark. sa sobrang excited makababa.
Yun parking ticket lage dadalin. Wag mo iiwan sa parking lot. 



Guys, ano ba mabangong perfume sa kotse? okay ba yun lush soap yun karma soap???

Hi pasali ako newbie driver din ako. I'm already done with my driving lessons next is kuha na ng non-pro.

Kinabahan ba kayo lumabas first time alone? Kasi sabi ng instructor ko I'm good to go na daw kaso malakas loob ko kapag may katabi pero kapag magisa na lang parang kinakabahan ako hehe..

Oh, haven't thought of using soap as air freshener. But I love Lush. I'll try that, Glade kasi ang bilis maubos ng amoy. :)

Newbie driver here, wag magpapa intimidate sa other driver lalu na sa mga tricycle driver. Ang sabi ko sa sarili ko bahala silang mag over take sa akin dahil hindi ako nagmamadali sa pagmamaneho. Ang hirap lang back parking need namin sa bahay, halos umiyak ang kili-kili ko hwaaaa💦
