Understanding True Confidence in Driving
True confidence in driving goes beyond merely being able to drive quickly on the motorway; it requires a solid foundation of knowledge, skills, and practice. Many learner drivers may appear confident after only a few hours behind the wheel, often influenced by limited experience on safe stretches of road. However, real confidence is about the ability to navigate various driving situations with ease, including managing corners, merging, and dealing with traffic. Practicing the correct driving methods is crucial, as relying on bad habits can erode confidence and lead to dangerous situations, especially under pressure during tests.
