Freshman Driving Tips: How to Drive On a Highway

Jun 29, 2021, 5:15 pm / Abigail Williams

Driving on a highway can cause a lot of stress and anxiety especially for someone who is doing it for the first time. If you are a new driver, you should not dare to drive on the interstate if you have not had enough experience first on the local roads. Once you think you are ready to make the trip on the expressway, it will still be helpful to remember the following tips to make your driving safe.


About Preparation

  1. Make sure your vehicle is in good running condition

If you are making plans to drive on a highway, be certain that you can depend on your car. It should not leave you in the middle of nowhere without any means to move to a safer place. Therefore, before you venture into the interstate, check everything carefully, including oils and other fluids, tires, brake pads, air filters, light bulbs, etc. Car maintenance is important year round, but it is more important before you hit the highway and you're a novice driver.

  1. Begin by driving on the right lane

New drivers should never forget this. Stay on the right lane and avoid heading to the left lane, which should only used for passing. Do not engage in a race with other drivers. Keeping on the right lane will allow you to act reciprocally with the oncoming traffic. It will also help you maintain your speed in a more easy way.


While Driving at Night

  1. Avoid fatigue driving

This is a serious problem that can result in thousands of serious injuries and even death. Never drive when you are tired, sleepy and ill or even when you are taking medications, whose effects reduce your reaction time and may get you into an unexpected incident. Before you go out on a highway at night, make sure that you have had enough sleep that you are well rested and you are feeling fit and healthy to drive.

  1. Use Night Vision Assistant

Every driver should have a good view of the road at night, but it is more necessary for new drivers and the senior drivers. If you find night driving as an unavoidable task, you can get a lot of help from the Lanmodo Vast Pro Night Vision Assistant. As product of modern technology, it is a reliable gadget to keep your night driving safe.

It is also easy to set up and operate and applicable to almost all car models.


When in an Emergency

  1. Pull over and get out of the flow of traffic

You might have a flat tire or your radiator hose popped. Remember that you don't have to fix it right there, which may cause traffic jam. Pull over to the side of the road or the nearest emergency bay. This is a place in a fast driving lane, where you can make an emergency stop and you can wait for emergency services to give you assistance.

  1. Call for professional help

Make sure that you have the hotline numbers of the Expressway Patrol or the Highway Patrol Group handy, so you will not feel helpless. Instead, these numbers will assure you that if ever you got a problem while driving on a highway, their assistance will not be far behind. Also, while waiting for help, keep your car lights on and set up emergency signal. This makes your vehicle visible and serves as a warning to other motorists that there is a vehicle breakdown.


These are some of the reminders when you are new to driving and you intend to take the interstate or the expressway. Keeping these tips in mind will make sure that you reach your destination safely and with no trouble.
