Before you get in the car and hit the road, take some time to review driving techniques for safe, confident and comfortable driving. Basic Driving Concepts contains information on driving techniques such as staying in a driving lane, using reference points when parking and reversing, and what you need to do before you start driving.
Familiarise yourself with lane usage. There are some techniques to help you recognise which lane is suitable for your vehicle and type of driving. Always maintain a safe speed and pay attention to blind spots and restricted areas. Obeying speed limits is an important part of driving. The right speed can prevent many mistakes. Be courteous on the road and let other drivers pass if you are travelling slower than the flow of traffic. Move to the far right lane or use the roundabout to allow the vehicle behind you to proceed.
