## Keep learning 

## You in the driver’s seat – part 3 

As you’re driving, you spot a playground sign. You know you have to slow down, but you can’t remember when the playground speed limits are in effect. The sign doesn’t say. Is the playground speed limit in effect today as you are driving through the playground? You can’t remember for certain. 

## What choice would you make next time?

You’re reading this guide to learn about driving. This is the first step in becoming a good driver. You’ll also spend time practising your driving skills, and may even take professional driver training to enhance your learning. 

But it’s important to keep on learning even after you have your licence. It will take time for you to gain driving experience. You’ll continually learn how to handle new driving situations and conditions and will need to keep informed about changing vehicle technology. You’ll also need to learn about changes that are made to the rules and regulations of the road. 

Your skills as a driver will also change. As you gain experience, your skills will increase, but you may become overconfident and too automatic in your driving. Health problems could affect your ability to drive safely. Throughout your driving years, it’s important for you to be honest with yourself about your skills and your readiness to drive. 

Remember that driver education courses are available for beginning and experienced drivers. Choose one that is right for you (see chapter 9 — your licence ).
