Challenges of Being a New Driver

10/16/2018

 
You’ve just passed your driving test and now you get on the road with a passenger or two in the car. Now you have no supervisor to take you around. Only you behind the wheel. Well, driving isn’t something you finish learning at the school. On your own, there are a couple of challenges you’d have to face.

Challenges of Being a New Driver

As a new driver, you’ll have to deal with the following problems:
  1. Varying traffic conditions. Adjusting from light local to heavy highway traffic may not be easy.
  2. Varying conditions and types of roads that require different skills. Especially, driving on unpaved roadways may prove difficult if you are a novice. Highways, freeways, and main roads may also be confusing as you’d have to read signs to direct you.
  3. Extreme weather conditions. A new driver often finds it difficult to drive in the rain, ice, and fog.
  4. Visibility difficulties especially at night. When the sun glare appears at dusk or dawn, it may make it hard for you to see the road or oncoming vehicles properly.
  5. Actions that you did not expect from other road users. Some motorists may stop quickly or turn without a warning. Also, some pedestrians may run onto roads without looking. Such things can make you panic. That is why you should learn to drive at slow speeds.
  6. Distractions from your car. Sometimes, a passenger simply talking to you may cause confusion that could lead to an accident. You may also prefer turning off the radio and your phone while driving.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Portland  Towing is awesome. I had a very usual request to tow my utility trailer that was full of concrete to the dump so I could dump it like a dump truck. Sure enough they sent Scott out and he got it done. So if you have an unusual tow don’t hesitate to call them. They do everything they can to get it done!!!
