As a first time driver, you should realize the importance of building a good driving record.All of us know that smart drivers are safe drivers. Before getting yourself into the driver's seat, enroll yourself in a driver's/defensive-driving program.You should realize that driving is a privilege, not a right.Selection of CarMake a thoughtful decision on the type of car you will be driving. The most suitable vehicle for a first time driver is a moderate-sized vehicle, rather than a small car or sports car.Though young first time drivers prefer to go for sports type car, I would strongly advise them not to. Many people think that the older car is the best one for first time drivers but not so. A new car with good performance is always better as there will be no unexpected problems with it.Auto TransmissionAs a first time driver, you should go with auto transmission vehicles than manual ones. Driving distractions such as tuning the tape while driving, looking at the sign boards, talking to the co-passengers can easily cause one to lose focus and forget to change gears. So the cars with manual transmission should be avoided. My advice would be to purchase a manual transmission car only after one to two years of driving experience.Insurance CoverageThis is an important thing to look at before you go for your first drive. You should decide yourself whether it would be wiser to pay for your auto accident out of pocket or file a claim. Once you begin adding tickets and accidents to your driving record, premiums will skyrocket, so beware.Don't Drink and DriveAs cliché as it sounds, do not drink and drive. All drivers, new or experienced, should have good knowledge about alcohol driving. The first time driver should understand the responsibility involved and the laws against alcohol driving.Can you imagine if you lose your vehicle on your first drive due to drink driving? The risk in not worth it!Complements of http://www.usgastracker.org Lowest gas prices for any US zip code. Free daily email delivered daily in a nice tabulated format with locations and prices.
