It leads to well over 50% of people thinking they are above average drivers (something statistically impossible, seeing as it should be 50%), and also the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/0001457586900047\">phenomenon of illusory superiority<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you rate yourself in the top 10%, there&#8217;s still room for improvement. If you&#8217;ve not had any input into your driving for a while (except the odd speeding fine or being chastised by your spouse), then it might be time for a tune-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Back to basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to the <a href=\"https:\/\/gradehub.com\/blog\/ebbinghaus-forgetting-curve\/\">forgetting curve<\/a>, after a couple of days, we&#8217;ve forgotten the majority of what we learned. We can only retain information by repeatedly reminding ourselves of it. Your driving instructor will have told you a multitude of things, but you will have forgotten a lot of them and, unless you&#8217;ve had advanced driver training in the interim, you&#8217;ve now just settled into your own way of doing things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can easily get a tune-up, though. Search on Google for a driving instructor near you, e.g. &#8216;driving instructor in Melbourne&#8217;, &#8216;driver training in Toronto&#8217; or &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/elfdrivingschool.co.uk\/\">Driving Schools East London<\/a>&#8216;. This way, you&#8217;ll get a list of people in your region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/how-to-choose-a-driving-instructor\/\">choose a driving instructor<\/a> that you feel comfortable with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re an experienced driver, one lesson is all it should take if you are open to suggestions. If you&#8217;re stubborn, it&#8217;ll take more. Of course, you have to apply the things you learn and it might take some time to break the habits you&#8217;ve developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work on your bad habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few bad habits you might want to iron out are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/what-is-tailgating\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"710\">Tailgating<\/a> &#8211; following too close to the vehicle in front<\/li><li>Turning your head to talk to your passengers (especially if they&#8217;re in the back seat!)<\/li><li>Being distracted by your phone<\/li><li>Using inappropriate speed<\/li><li>Driving tired<\/li><li>Driving with one hand on the wheel<\/li><li>Not looking far enough ahead<\/li><li>Constantly accelerating or braking when you could maintain a steady speed<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you can avoid doing these then you&#8217;ll use less fuel and you&#8217;ll have less accident risk. It could take a concerted effort to completely eliminate all of them from your driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get your car set up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/how-to-adjust-your-wing-mirrors-correctly\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1487\">setting your mirrors<\/a> so that your blind spots are minimised? You should barely see any of your car in the wing mirrors, otherwise you&#8217;re creating blind spots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is your seat set up correctly? Your wrists should rest on the top of the steering wheel when your arms are straight. You shouldn&#8217;t be slouched too far back, but your face shouldn&#8217;t be too close to the steering wheel (bad if the airbag goes off).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"595\" height=\"358\" src=\"http:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/correct-steering-position-595x358.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/correct-steering-position-595x358.png 595w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/correct-steering-position-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/correct-steering-position-768x463.png 768w, https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/correct-steering-position.png 1567w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><figcaption>Arms slightly bent when you&#8217;re in the 10-2 position<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you connected your phone to Bluetooth (if your car has it)? This will enable you to control your media and phone hands-free (if you&#8217;re allowed to talk on the phone in your country).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are your headlights set correctly &#8211; some cars allow you to adjust the angle of the headlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are your dashboard lights set correctly &#8211; most cars allow you to dim the dashboard lights at night which can help reduce eye strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is your car running well. A noisy, bumpy car will create more fatigue than a smooth, quiet car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Refresh your knowledge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hopefully, you&#8217;ll remember what we said above about the forgetting curve. Road rules change occasionally and you might forget what some signs and road markings mean. There&#8217;s no harm in doing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.driverknowledgetests.com\/learners-permit\/car\/\">free road rules test<\/a> on this site to check your level of knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People commonly indicate incorrectly on roundabouts, causing confusion to other drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You could also join the Institute of Advanced Motorists and get some advanced training. There are videos on YouTube of advanced driving (look up &#8216;commentary driving&#8217;) and you can study the book Roadcraft which a great many emergency services drivers read and put into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check your health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will be impossible to be the best driver you can be unless you address any underlying health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check your eyesight and get the right prescription lenses if you need them. Our eyesight decays as we get older. Using digital devices accelerates myopia (short-sightedness). If you find yourself squinting to see road signs, you might need glasses for driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deal with any issues around hypertension and stress so that you&#8217;re not distracted when driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose a low-sugar diet to maintain your alertness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you rate your own driving, you&#8217;re likely to think that you are better than you are because you&#8217;ll judge yourself on your criteria.
