For the convenience of activities, many people choose to drive their own vehicles, especially when public transportation is not yet adequate. One option is to drive a car. Cars are preferred because they have more advantages compared to motorcycles. However, without adequate skills, beginner drivers who do not understand how to drive a car properly will face some difficulties.

Therefore, before driving a car on the road, it is advisable to first learn how to drive a car well. If not, you could endanger your own safety and the safety of others. Here are some points that drivers should master:

1. The general condition of the car includes the exterior parts of the vehicle (body part), engine, braking system, wheels, and transmission system. You don't need to be an expert on the system, but at least know where the fuel tank is and how to open it when refueling. Or if you want to be more skilled, know how to change a flat tire with the spare tire.

2. Safety Driving. What needs to be understood includes how airbags work, the use of seatbelts while driving for both the driver and passengers, the use of car seats for children and infants, and the rules for maintaining distance between vehicles.

3. Before driving, you need to know the rules of driving on the road. These rules include vehicle speed regulations, the use of driving signals (signal lights, horn, hazard lights), dealing with traffic jams, traffic light rules, rules for encountering pedestrians and crosswalks, parking regulations, and reading traffic signs and road markings. For the last point, it is advisable to memorize them as they will often be encountered on the road.

4. It is also good for drivers to know what to do first when encountering or finding themselves involved in an accident. If you see or are involved in an accident, whether single or not, and the driver is safe, immediately call the emergency number (police or ambulance) which should already be saved in your phone contacts. Don't forget to place a warning triangle behind the vehicle to signal other passing vehicles. If the accident dispute can be resolved without authorities, the parties involved should settle it calmly.

5. Attention should also be paid to driving etiquette. The etiquette or ethics of drivers on the road is closely related to maintaining the safety of others, such as not using a phone while driving, not driving recklessly, being free from alcohol and addictive substances while driving, and being physically and mentally healthy.

6. Knowing the rules of driving in difficult and dangerous conditions, such as driving in rain and storms or encountering other vehicles while crossing hills, narrow roads, and winding roads in the mountains.

7. Before starting the engine and driving, ensure your condition is complete. Complete in the sense that you have fastened your seatbelt, the clutch is in neutral position, the brakes are functioning well, the fuel tank is filled, the left and right mirrors and the top mirror are adjusted for visibility, the front and rear windows of the car are clean, and don't forget the passengers in the front and back who are seated properly and wearing seatbelts.

8. Always be alert while driving. There is no such thing as drowsiness while driving. Your eyes should always be active and ready for any possibilities that may suddenly arise. Driving reflexes should also be good.
 
In the end, all the theories on how to drive a car will not make you skilled without practice. Always entrust your safety to the Almighty while not forgetting the good rules when driving. Stay Safe and Smart On The Road!
