First time driving? Are you nervous? Relax, in this article we will answer all your questions.
Steps
1 Sit back in the driver's seat and explore the features of your vehicle. Check out some of the buttons, switches and pedals responsible for wipers, headlights, turn signals, gas, brakes, and so on. 
2 Make the seat more comfortable, fasten your seat belts and position the rearview mirrors in relation to your eyes. Make sure the seat belt is not pressing or pinching anywhere. You will need to adjust the mirrors each time you drive the car so that you can easily see everything that is happening behind you. Inspect the gear lever, which should be in neutral or park mode (in the case of an automatic transmission) when parked. If the car is in any other gear, do not start the car until you have shifted to neutral. 
3 Imagine that you are driving a car. So when you hit the highway, what will you do next? How will you stop, turn and change gears? Consider every detail of driving and ask a driving instructor or an experienced driver friend if you have any questions. Before starting a trip, determine exactly where you are going and how to get there, so as not to worry about it during the ride itself. 
4 Get rid of all unnecessary distractions. Learn to drive from an experienced, understanding and competent instructor. Do not take any jokers or people who like to laugh out loud with you. Turn off the radio or listen to soft classical music. Breathe calmly and relaxed. Go to the bathroom before you travel. Drink some water to stay hydrated. 
5 Driving a car will give you a lot of pleasant sensations when you understand all the main aspects. A car is a friend of a person who will take you where you need to, if you know how.
Tips
- Wipe down all the windows and mirrors of your car to see where you are going.
- If this is your first attempt at driving, it is best to start in a large, empty parking lot to practice basic cornering, stopping and parking techniques.
- Find yourself a tolerant, calm and professional instructor who will explain and show you everything without grumbling or shouting.
- If you have a favorite scent or perfume, then sprinkle it on the inside of the car to feel more comfortable and relaxed.
Warnings
- Be vigilant, because on the roads of Russia there are a sufficient number of arrogant and ignorant reckless drivers who can make you sweat during the trip.
