Probably to be a good driver needs a lot of practice and all that. Whenever you drive, just be cautious, and don't busy on talking over the phone or texting, that just what most people have done nowadays, I hope that people will consider other's people life as well. Good luck on your driving.

Yes, don't ever do that. Talking over the phone while driving. And I've seen people who do more than that while driving. They bring their girlfriend inside the car and do something silly things while they drive!

I agree with you it's important that we are distracted when driving. That causes a lot of accidents. When we can avoid accidents it's important that we take the proper precautions. Yeah it is very sad when people die from car accidents especially ones that could have been avoided.

Yes I am good drive but you know when driver is good the other person push the vehicle of good driver. Means accident may be happen in slow driving also or in fast driving also. If we are driving safe then other persons dash us. IF god think then this will happen.

Yeah accidents really can happen at any time. That's why it's important that we be careful and watch how others are driving as well. It will protect us from a possible accident if we focus when we are driving and not be distracted by doing other things.

I would say so, I am very alert and always know what is going on around me. I have good reaction time and don't do anything dangerous. To become a good driver you need practice so if at first you not any good I would suggest staying off the busy roads and focusing on the drive time and experience in your area where you know the roads etc.

It is very good for us to be alert when we are driving. We never know when someone might do something that can cause an accident. We may be good drivers but it's a good thing for us to be careful and attentive to other drivers.

Unfortunately driving has become so expensive that it is ridiculous. I wish I didn't have to drive so much because it really does add up. My job is quit a distance from where I live. But I guess we will have to keep trudging along and cutting down the cost in other areas of our life.

There are things that you should not do when you are driving because it will harm both to and themselves and to other. it is received or call someone, chatting and so forth. Make yourself as relaxed as posible, avoid stress, stay focused on the road you are going through. And most importantly you do not drive drunk. Happy driving.

Those are good things that we should consider when we are driving. We don't want to hurt anyone or cause anyone suffering because of our carelessness. We've got to remember that their are other people on the road when we are driving.

My first driving test was crazy. I probably had my permit longer than anyone I know. I recieved my permit at 16, but since I was in foster care, I had to wait until I was 18 to take the driving test. When I turned 18 I moved to another state, so I had to wait that much longer. I finally was ready to take my test at 19, but the kicker is that I was 6 months pregnant with my son. On top of that I was suppose to have gallbladder surgery two weeks after the test, so I was really sick. I was bound and determined to get my liscense, so I kept my test date. I spent the whole test with the guy asking me, "Your not going to go into labor right?" I kept telling him that I was only 6 months pregnant, but that didn't seem to help. I truly think he was afraid that he was going to deliver a baby because I kept getting cramps where I was so sick. I passed the test, but I know that I messed up on my parallel parking. I think the guy just wanted to make sure that I didn't come back for a retry later in my pregnancy.

Wow that is really a long time for having your permit.That would have been awful time. He probably was really scared about with you being pregnant. I'm glad that you passed.

I guess i am, having seven accidents, lol! We learn from mistakes and thus eventually more careful. I learned to drive at age 13 and got my license at 16. I bought a taxi franchise and drove for a living. Driving is really a skill that needs a lot of practice, and i guess 37 years of experience is enough.

Lol. Wow seven accidents is a lot. I'm glad that you are ok though. Wow that is neat that you bought a taxi franchise. That would definitely give you more experience.

I did great on my driving test to get a license. My instructor was ridiculous though. During my driving test, it was 9AM which is rush hour for people to go to work and you're not allowed to turn right into the bike lane, you have to wait for the dash lines. Everyone was cutting through the bike lane and turning right anyway SO what I did was I stayed in my lane, signaled right and when it was green.. I drove straight then turned right when the dash line was available. My instructor told me I did a good job EXCEPT "sometimes" it's okay to break the law. What kind of answer is that? So it's okay for me to break the law because its rush hour time? I can get a ticket for being in bike lane. But I passed anyway.

I'm glad that you passed. Yeah what your instructor said was out of place. And it's not like he's going to pay your tickets when you break the law. He shouldn't have said that, knowing especially that you are taking a drivers test. He should want you to obey the law not break them. Yeah when a policer pulls you over try telling him what the instructor said to you. See if that would fly.
