How to judge a person's driving ability? You will know if he has these 5 behaviors.
When friends get together on weekends, carpooling is always a must. Who's in the passenger seat? Who sits in the back row? This is often not based on seniority, but on who dares to sit in that "driver's" car. Sometimes, when I see my friend who claims to have "ten years of driving experience" holding the steering wheel, I have to fasten my seat belt silently, and even start to think about how to write a will. After all, the length of time it takes to obtain a driver's license and the level of driving skills are never a straight line. Real experienced drivers have a unique "aura" about them. This aura does not rely on bragging, but depends entirely on details. Today we won’t talk about acceleration from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers, nor about chassis adjustment, but let’s talk about the real skills hidden in daily driving.
First, rules are not constraints, but their "muscle memory." Many people think that obeying traffic rules is because they are afraid of deducting points and fines, but in the eyes of experts, rules are the most solid shield to protect themselves and others.

When friends get together on weekends, carpooling is always a must. Who's in the passenger seat? Who sits in the back row? This is often not based on seniority, but on who dares to sit in that "driver's" car. Sometimes, when I see my friend who claims to have "ten years of driving experience" holding the steering wheel, I have to fasten my seat belt silently, and even start to think about how to write a will. After all, the length of time it takes to obtain a driver's license and the level of driving skills are never a straight line. Real experienced drivers have a unique "aura" about them. This aura does not rely on bragging, but depends entirely on details. Today we won’t talk about acceleration from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers, nor about chassis adjustment, but let’s talk about the real skills hidden in daily driving.
First, rules are not constraints, but their "muscle memory." Many people think that obeying traffic rules is because they are afraid of deducting points and fines, but in the eyes of experts, rules are the most solid shield to protect themselves and others. If you observe, real masters will never engage in the "extreme sprint" and then suddenly stop in front of the line at a red light. They have already released the accelerator and let the car stop naturally like running water. When encountering a zebra crossing, even if there are no cameras, they will stop steadily and give way to pedestrians instead of honking their horns to urge them. Not to mention "showmanship" such as running a yellow light and changing lanes on a solid line. In their view, these are not only unsightly, but also "price-deprecating". When a person internalizes traffic rules as instinct and can respond correctly without thinking, this is the source of security. Sitting in the car of such a person, you don't even feel that he is deliberately following the rules. You just feel that everything is going smoothly and you feel so at ease that you want to sleep.
Second, the steering wheel is in their hands, like a waltz. Remember those students in the driving school who made a squeaky steering wheel and crossed their hands in knots? That's standard for newbies. The master's steering wheel operation pays attention to the word "moisturizing". You see when they turn corners, their hand movements are smooth and smooth. The left hand pushes and the right hand meets. There are almost no unnecessary broken movements, let alone "grinding" the direction little by little. Even when making a U-turn on a narrow section of road, the direction is in place and it is crisp and clear. The control accuracy of the steering wheel directly reflects the driver's ability to predict the vehicle's trajectory. If a person keeps shaking the steering wheel while driving, and the car body is also moving, don't hesitate to hold on to the armrest. For a true master, the car follows your heart and hits wherever you point it. Passengers don't even feel the swing of the front of the car, they just feel that it is turning smoothly.
Third, making the old lady in the back seat fall asleep is the highest compliment. Today's cars are all very powerful, and when you step on the accelerator, you feel like you're pushing your back. But that's a matter for racing drivers, not for daily driving. A hard-core indicator for judging driving level is whether it can prevent people who are prone to motion sickness from feeling any motion sickness during the entire process. Some drivers start like they are ejected, brake like they are hitting a wall, and turn like they are drifting. When they get off the road, the passengers' faces are greener than the car paint. Experts know how to "anticipate". They look far ahead, stop accelerating in advance, brake lightly, and control the change in G value within the most comfortable range for the human body. The start is as smooth as an elevator rising, and the stop is as smooth as a feather falling to the ground. If there are elderly or children in the car, they will be even more cautious and will never make a surprise attack. It is the real "golden right foot" that allows rear-seat passengers to sleep peacefully all the way and ask "Are we there yet?" when they wake up.
Fourth, the seat position reveals your "car dealer". Adjust the seat before getting in the car. This is a basic operation, but how to adjust it requires more knowledge. Newbies often want to adjust their seats to the front because they feel unsure, as if they are driving while holding the steering wheel, with their elbows against the door and their legs curled up. In this position, not only is the field of vision limited, but in the event of a collision, the first person to be injured when the airbag pops up is yourself. On the other hand, experts will adjust their seats to a relaxed position so that their backs fit snugly, their wrists can naturally rest on the top of the steering wheel, and their knees have enough room to slightly bend when they step on the pedals. Reasonable seat adjustment is not only for comfort, but also for maximum control in emergency situations. Looking at those drivers who sit upright and take their time, you will know that they have full control of the vehicle instead of being "kidnapped" by the car.
When riding in such a car, you will feel that the pace is fast and efficient, but you will not feel panicked.
After all, driving is more than just moving the car from point A to point B. It is more like a harmonious dance between man and machine, man and the environment. Those so-called "experienced drivers" do not mean how fast they drive or how many tricks they do, but they have safety, stability and predictability engraved in their bones. They know how to respect the rules, respect life, and take care of the feelings of passengers.
Next time you get into someone else's car, you might as well quietly observe these five details. If you win all of them, congratulations, you have found a treasure, and you can trust him for the journey; if you win more than half, he is also a reliable partner. Of course, the most important thing is to look in the mirror and see if you are approaching this standard.
So, think about the car you have been in recently, which moment made you think: "Well, this person is a master"? Or, is there a habit that you didn’t realize you needed to improve on until today?
