Defensive Driving & Habits to Create for New Driver

6 videos • 6,021 views • by Smart Drive Test Young driver's that just got their license are at the highest risk of being involved in a crash. Learn the skills, abilities and techniques that will keep you and your loved ones safe in the months and year after you begin your driving career. Importantly, continue to work on the those skills that you learned when training to take your driver's test. 1) Habits such as applying the parking brake every time you park the vehicle; 2) Habits such as shoulder checking every time you turn the vehicle or change directions; 3) Habits that allow you to locate intersections and map and track road users at the intersection. These are just some of the driving habits that you learned during your training that you should continue to hone. These driving abilities aren't going to prevent a crash today...heck maybe not even in five years. However, one day, these driving skills could save your life or that of a loved one. Work every day to be a one percent better driver. And if you're drive is boring, you're probably doing most things right. All the very best, Cheers Rick
