The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), has
released ten tips that would help Nigerians to
improve their driving skills and operate more
successfully.

Study carefully. These tips might safe your life
one day!
STEP ONE
If you have access to vehicles of different makes
and models, switch them often. This way you’ll
be working on driving as a whole, not on driving
a specific car.
STEP TWO
Find a training lot. A disused airfield is the best
idea, because it has long straight stretches (the
runway), corners (turn way to runway entrance)
and wide open spaces (the area in front of the
hangars). If you are not so lucky as to have a
disused airfield nearby, you may look for these
three things separately. You may use abandoned
country roads and disused parking lots that
measure at least 50 by 50 feet.
STEP THREE
When you practice, focus not on the driving
itself, but on feeling the behaviour of the vehicle.
This includes lateral stability, acceleration,
braking distance, etc. When you learn how to
feel the vehicle, you’ll be able to drive anything
at its verge.
STEP FOUR
Think of any hypothetical situation you may
encounter, e.g flat tire, high-speed under-/over
steer, pursuit driving, etc. Think what you must
do in that particular case, then get in the car and
do it. Make a note of your weak points and work
to improve them.
STEP FIVE
Handbrake turning is not only for showing off.
It’s the best way to correct high-speed under
steer. It’s also useful on icy roads. It gives you
confidence on rough road.
STEP SIX
Practice emergency stopping. If your car has
ABS, disable it when you practice.
STEP SEVEN
Identify each dangerous situation when you drive
and remember it. Then, when you have the time,
think of what you could’ve done better and
practice the preventive measures and
maneuvers.
STEP EIGHT
Learn to drive backwards using only the side
view mirrors. Once you get the knack of it, it’s
one of the most useful skills a driver can have.
STEP NINE
Practice emergency in-turn braking. Do it in a
wide empty space, not on the road.
STEP TEN
Test the brakes soon after you start down the
road.

The guide ends with a warm message, which
reads: “Thank for staying with us. We love you
all.”
