Starting my first day driving without a trainer.

Driving a passenger car is easier than driving a truck because there are many nuances to it. Trucks are clumsy and heavy, and most accidents with them lead to terrible consequences. Naturally, the driver of the truck should be a professional so as not to create dangerous situations on the road. In order to adequately learn the theory of truck driving and good practice, it is necessary to apply to an official driving school. If you learn driving from ordinary drivers, then later you can make a lot of mistakes, which can cost the life of the driver and other people. That is why drive with a professional trainer.

Valuable tips

Successfully navigating all sections of the road depends on the skillful operation of all truck mechanisms.

It is recommended to read valuable tips that will help in driving alone:

• If the truck is equipped with a trailer, you should start in first gear on hazardous sections. Dangerous sections include too-soft ground, washed-out areas, and snow.
• You should always be predictable for the other participants on the road so that they do not make mistakes too. I recommend keeping the right distance, giving way, and making maneuvers if necessary.
• The truck should brake smoothly, increasing the pressure on the pedal gradually.
• It is dangerous to stop the car on the slope, so you should not do it. If it becomes necessary, you need to take all measures to ensure that the car does not roll down. To do this, engage the parking brake, put chocks under the wheels, turn off the fuel supply, and engage first gear.
• Don't immediately go it alone. The last few months have been spent with a teacher seated next to you. Even if they didn't need to step in, that safety net was there, directing you in the right direction. After passing your test, make an effort to avoid taking your first few drives alone. Ask a parent or acquaintance with more driving experience to drive with you on a few short trips. Although they won't have the dual controls on their side of the vehicle, simply having a companion alongside you who is eager to offer guidance might ease first-time jitters.

Please, take into consideration weather conditions also. So be safe when you are driving alone without a trainer, and follow the tips mentioned above.
