First things first, before any driving tip or trick comes into play there is something that is so crucial that it should never be ignored. Yes, we are talking about being familiar with the vehicle and its key controls. A car is made up of several different components that perform key functions while you drive. Each of these components is operated by a set of buttons, levers, and knobs. Therefore, before you start driving any vehicle, it is important that you know where these controls are located, and what they actually do.

Even though most manufacturers do not change the layout of basic controls such as wipers, headlights, dipper etc., some models like the Polo come with inverted controls, which can be confusing if discovered while driving. Therefore, whenever you begin driving a vehicle for the first time, or if you happen to be someone who is new to driving, make sure you are familiar with the functioning and location of key controls such as wipers, headlights, washer, handbrake, seat adjustment controls, AC control etc. Once you are familiar with all the key controls, you are good to go.

Once you are familiar with all the key controls of a vehicle, the next step is to find a comfortable driving position. Since driving is quite a demanding task, both mentally and physically, finding your own comfort can help you drive with ease and comfort. In fact, cabin ergonomics and seating comfort is so important that every manufacturer does its best to provide top-notch seating comfort and adjustment options. Therefore, once accustomed with vehicle controls, start by finding a comfortable driving position.
