10 Vital Things When You Learn How to Drive a Car
Driving a car is now a necessity for some people, especially for traveling during the rainy season or for those who often travel long distances with extended family. Of course, behind the comfort that is felt when driving a car, there are also important rules to maintain security and safety during the trip.

Here are some things that must be considered for car drivers, especially for drivers who are just starting to learn how to drive a car, so that the safety and security of their trip is maintained.

1. Check the car indicator


Make sure before the car is started the oil, injection, battery, and hand brake indicators are on. Meanwhile, when the car is on, the only hand brake indicator is still on. When these things run, the car is ready to use.

However, when the car is in the on position, one of the injection, battery, or oil indicators is on.  It may be a problem in the car that must be repaired before starting.

2. Make sure there is a car safety


Car safety is certainly very important for car drivers who use cars in areas prone to theft, there are several types of car safety, for example tire safety and steering wheel safety.

For those who are just learning how to drive a car, it is very important to install a safety guard when the car is parked in a public place, or in another place away from supervision, but don't forget to re-open the safety when the car is going to be used.

3. Also make sure the operation of the hand brake is correct


The position of the hand brake when the car is stopped or parked should be in the top position, so that the position of the car will not reverse backwards, especially on sloping road terrain. Meanwhile, when the car is running, the hand brake must be in the lower position, so that the car is not heavy. Moreover, the age of using the hand brake will be more durable.

4. Sign lights


The sign lights function as a sign for other drivers around the car that we are driving, so that all the sign lights must be lit, including brake lights, turn signals, long distance lights, short distance lights, and other sign lights.

When one of the sign lights does not turn on, as much as possible, make repairs first, considering that the sign lights function to provide a road code for vehicles around the car we are driving.

5. Drive at steady speed, avoid high speed


The highway is full of vehicles passing by, causing many events, starting from the vehicle in front of us stopping suddenly, or the vehicle suddenly cutting the road, therefore driving at a steady speed and avoiding high speeds will make it easier for us to do things. braking and controlling the vehicle under sudden conditions.

6. Keep your distance from the front side


Driving a car by keeping a distance of 1.5-2 meters behind the car in front, works when the car in front suddenly brakes

The car we drive is still capable of braking, so it can avoid a collision. Keeping the distance between cars will also make it easier for the car behind us to take up space when overtaking the car we are driving.

7. Avoid driving to the right of the white line in the middle, except overtaking the vehicle in front


Driving to the left of the white line in the middle of the road will provide more security for us when a car is traveling from the opposite direction, especially when the car from the opposite direction is in a position to cross each other. Walking within the white line will also make it easier for cars, and motorbikes behind us who want to overtake.

8. Turn on the wipers and air conditioner when it rains


When the weather is rainy, the use of wipers and air conditioners will help the windshield display remain quite clear, so that it will be easier for the driver to drive. Meanwhile, when the air conditioner is not functioning properly, don't forget to bring a rag, because the inner glass has the potential to condense when it rains, so when it condenses we can easily clean the dew on the inner glass.

Also check the wiper water level, when the position is slightly or empty, immediately fill it, considering that the wiper water is able to dissolve the dirt carried by the rain.

9. Turn on the lights at night, according to the rules


Turning on the lights at night will really help clarify the road terrain, as well as a code for cars from the opposite direction, but you need to be careful when using remote lights, because they will glare the eyes of the car from the opposite direction, use remote lights only when ask for a way when crucifying or crossing, or when traveling to a location devoid of vehicles, for example a forest.

10. Choose the driving path according to the ability of the driver


Take the easiest route, such as reducing turns, detours, and narrow roads that make it easier for you to get to your destination. When you are in doubt about crossing or turning the car around, try to find a detour that makes your trip easier. Don't forget to avoid traffic jams and incline as much as possible, if you still have doubts.

Well, now I'm more confident in traveling by driving a car. Don't forget to start every journey with a prayer while learning how to drive a car.

Drive safe and comfy with Hyundai Motors


With a few simple car learning tips in mind above, you can get ready to drive for the first time, without hesitation. Actually, driving is not something to be afraid of, really! It just takes a big responsibility. You need to prioritize the safety of yourself and others by obeying traffic signs. In addition, you also need a car that has advanced features to support driving safety and security.

Hyundai Motors introduces safety feature innovations in every LCGC (low cost green car) car it produces. One of them is the Hyundai Blue On with the safety features Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) & Auto Collision Notification (ACN) to deal with emergency conditions. This feature will stop the vehicle when the sensor detects a potential collision with an object.

This feature will be activated automatically when the car is traveling above 10 km per hour. If the car keeps going fast above 80 km per hour, the AEB system will slowly decelerate to minimize the effects of a collision.

Furthermore, there is a Save Our Soul (SOS) feature that can automatically contact an ambulance or police. Meanwhile, the Roadside Assistance (RSA) feature is embedded to contact emergency repair services or car towing services.

In addition, Hyundai also released the IONIQ electric car with advanced safety features such as the 7-Airbag System to reduce the impact of collisions when unexpected things occur. The Blind Spot Detection (BSD) radar sensor will also activate if it detects a vehicle entering the blind spot area.
