Hi,
Some points to be taken care by new car users are as follow
1. Drive in appropriate speed keeping in view of the traffic situation and next signal if in city.Never jump signal in hurry.
2.Take care to put hand brake when vehicle is stoped and dont forget to take it out when restarting/ moving.Sometimes it happens because of tension in traffic.
3.Shift the gears according to road condition and room for zooming thus avoid sudden brakes.
4.Use controls proplerly for ex glancing at rear view mirror , cabine mirror and left side rearview mirror can let you know exact position of your car and the other vehicles.
5.Dont get exited over the cars overtaking yours. Please be patient and give way.This though looks simple, can avoid many of the accidents.
6.Keep the vehicle in good condition and make sure it satisfies minimum requirments like fuel, effective brakes, steering etc before taking out.
7.Go to the higher speed as priscribed before changing gears to higher ones.
8.Last but not the least.Remember at end of the day its not how fast you drive that matters, its where you park.
