Tips for Newbie Drivers

[gulaysk]

Newbie driver and currently trying to gain the confidence to drive on my own.

For the more seasoned drivers here, what was your preferred parking style when you were just starting out? I'm relatively ok with road driving but just thinking about parking the car in a parking slot (na pasok sa lines) scares the bejeezus out of me. Kahit kapag kasama si hubby natataranta ako kapag parking na. Mas madali ba yung forward facing na bay parking or reverse bay parking? I think parallel parking ang pinakamahirap?

^ relatively new driver pa lang din ako. I prefer paatras na parking. Parallel parking na sakto lang ang space, medyo kinakabahan ako, haha. Kaya lagi ko hinahanap yung medyo me wiggle room to atras-abante, haha. Pa-forward na parking, ok lang, pero ayoko kasi na paatras lumalabas ng parking slot kaya i try to avoid this one as much as possible.

^Yun nga, much safer nga raw ang reverse parking para iwas fender bender. Nakakainsecure kasi lumabas ng paatras sa parking slot. Takaw aksidente. Kaya lang naiintimidate talaga ako sa reverse parking kasi sa ilang beses na ginawa ko siya, lagi akong hindi pasok sa slot. Pa-share naman ng technique na ginagamit mo when reverse parking 😫

Newbie driver here! For me mas madali ang forward parking. That's what i always do,
Pero gusto ko rin matutunan yung reverse parking. Esp yung suv na gift ni hubby ay may back up camera, madali na lang daw

Familiarize yourself with road signs/warnings. Dapat alam nyo what the signs mean

Always be focused on the road while driving. Huwag padistract sa kahit ano.

when changing lanes, mas accurate ang rear mirror compare to side mirrors. Also look on your shoulders to check your blind side

Always wear seatbelts & lock your doors

Always keep your distance

Before you leave, plan first the route you will take para alam mo na saang lanes ka pupuwesto & hindi yung on the spot ka pa magiisip saan ka dadaan
