The only real question to ask yourself is this. If my road taxes pay for my driving how come they are bothering me so much? Also, I paid my dues by learning to drive after pouring over the rules of the road book the driver's license examiner forced on me. Then I had to endure the confusing instructions said in an unkind tone when I finally got behind the wheel.
Beginning soon I will decide when and where to go for a change. There are places I have been studying where young people can go and not be disturbed. Also, being a big fan of auto racing makes me itch to jam my foot down on the accelerator and fly low to the ground. Perhaps I can buy my own vehicle and put decals and a favorite driver number on it.
Totally rudimentary is that driving on the public highway is a privilege not a right. Many come to forget this. Aggressive driving and road rage is all too commonplace today. So too is the increasing number of impaired drivers due to drugs, alcohol or other causes. Surviving driving during an entire lifetime, without tragedy, will require a defensive attitude and never insisting on the right of way.
Films about air combat often mention how the inexperienced pilots found flying late in the last big war were no match for old veterans. The same thing holds true with new drivers. They have seen fewer situations and thus have not gained valuable experience.
Curves present special problems while driving. Skids and road conditions making traction poor means you must ramp up the caution. Posted speed limits intended for safe driving on curves in good weather don't apply. At times you may find it necessary to crawl along on ice and snow at speeds you could walk.
When you pick up a magazine written for car enthusiasts one of the first things mentioned for each model is acceleration. Much more important to the novice driver is stopping ability. "What goes up must come down" used to always be true. Much more the case is if you can't stop it you may have had your next to last ride. The hearse is last.
A word of caution about using a cell phone or texting while driving. Doing so poses a threat of a serious nature to yourself and others. Increasingly it is becoming illegal to do it. We are all to a certain extent social creatures. Younger age drivers are especially so. School vacations don't always end too soon. Getting back with friends and classmates is a big part of life. With the start of heavy dating and social events it is only natural to look like a phone device has grown out of your ear.
Some years ago a concerned father bought his new driver daughter the heaviest car he could find. Safety was the goal. Unfortunately, a truck hit her and her friends broadside. The mass of the truck trumped the heavy sedan. Never lose your fear of the other guy while driving and keep the odds on your side by playing it smart. Drive defensively.
