You might take pride in your car – Showing off your new pride an joy to your friends and family can be a great feeling, but do you ever take a second to think what would happen if someone were to attack your car?

We’re not talking about mindless vandalism here. No, one of the main reasons for cars being damaged is leaving valuable goods on sight. Whilst is it very difficult to steal a car these days, unfortunately it is not very difficult to smash a car window and make off with a phone, handbag or wallet – Unless the would-be-thief can’t see one in the first place.

Always keep your valuables hidden safely in your car when you are not using it, otherwise you will have the costs of replacing your belongings as well as a broken window.

If you have finally managed to pass the driving test, you will likely be looking forward to getting behind the wheel of your own car and taking to the roads – But whilst this is a great privilege, it also comes with it’s own responsibilities too.

When you are driving your own car, you are in charge of everything that happens in that car whilst it is moving. Are your friends fighting on the back seat, causing you to lose concentration? Is your dog trying to join you on the drivers seat? Is the cars physical condition causing a danger to other road users? This is all your responsibility.

Remember, after having a car accident, assigning blame to others is not likely to give you much comfort – So accept the responsibility yourself.

Driving can present a wide variety of challenges – From learning to manoeuvre the car successfully, to managing to navigate traffic safely and much more, there is a long learning curve to be faced when becoming a qualified driver.

One such challenge is first mastering the feat of driving alone. For many learner drivers, it is a source of comfort having a passenger next to them such as their driving instructor or a family member, often giving prompts to help them with their driving.

Having this crutch removed can be daunting at first – Just try to act as if you are still on a driving test, and make every move as safely as possible, to ensure your first drive alone does not go awry.
