I'm a new driver. Are there any tips to keep in mind when I'm behind the wheel?

1. Be patient and practice defensive driving techniques such as scanning for potential hazards, avoiding distractions, and maintaining a safe distance between you and other vehicles.
2. Make sure your vehicle is properly maintained and that all safety features are working correctly.
3. Pay attention to signs and road markings, so you can be aware of upcoming turns or traffic lights.
4. Stay alert at all times and don't get too comfortable behind the wheel.
5. Keep an eye on the rearview mirror and blind spots, and use your turn signals when changing lanes or making turns.
