Tips for New Drivers to Stay Safe on the Road. As a new driver, I need to be careful not to let bad habits creep in and to avoid distractions like having too many friends in the car or using my phone. I should keep my driving position and seatbelt on, and focus on anticipating what's ahead to become a better, safer driver. The main causes of road deaths are speed, careless driving, drink/drug driving, not wearing a seatbelt, and phone distractions, so I need to be mindful of these and wear the road safety merchandise to help spread the message. #police #newdrivers #youngdrivers #roadsafety #gcm #carscene #modifiedcars #policecar
