Learning to drive is a long process involving brushing up on the latest rules and regulations, acclimating yourself to the different areas and functions of your car, and understanding the responsibility all drivers should exemplify. Adhering to the rules of the road, knowing how to adapt to traffic patterns, and knowing when and how to signal are all essential areas of focus new drivers should study while going for their permit. Of course, there’s also a practical side to learning how to drive which involves getting behind the wheel with a parent or other licensed driver. Since so many people learn by doing, it can be much easier to teach a new driver the basics by taking them to an open and safe area to get behind the wheel.
