Can peer pressure affect young drivers?

Yes, it can. Some young drivers may be tempted to drive fast and recklessly to emulate their peers. It’s important to advise them to avoid peer pressure and prioritise safety while driving.

How should young drivers deal with aggressive drivers on the road?

Young drivers should be advised to stay calm and maintain a calm mindset when they encounter an aggressive driver. They should avoid eye contact with the other person and not respond to their aggression. If an aggressive driver follows them, they should drive to the nearest police station.

How can young drivers handle stress while driving alone?

To reduce stress while driving, young drivers should start driving on their own gradually and learn how to deal with common driving challenges. If they’re still not feeling confident about driving alone, they should ask their parents or another experienced driver to accompany them until they feel more confident in their driving skills.
