where is a good place to start driving for the first time??

Answer 1

First you must have a Learner's Licence to legally drive a car and of course you need a qualified driver sitting beside you.
I would choose a quiet and very large, empty parking lot on a Sunday morning.
It takes a bit of time to learn how to steer around corners and use the gas and brake properly. Like learning any new sport, you need to first train your brain how to do these things.
Begin by sitting still, and making yourself familiar with the controls. Then, without moving, shift through the gears to get the feel of it.
After you know where things are inside the car, begin moving forward by shifting to "DRIVE" and then brake to a stop, and shift to "PARK". Do this several times until you feel comfortable with the gas and the brake pedals. Then you can focus on making left and right turns and learn to steer properly.
You should take at least a couple of lessons from a professional Driving Instructor to get you on the right track.Then you would know more details of what you should be doing. Once you feel a bit more confident about your control over the car, then you can begin driving on quiet streets. I wouldn't listen to friends' advice. They mean well, but aren't always right in what they say. It takes 50 to 60 hours to feel comfortable and somewhat skilled behind the wheel of a car.
Good luck.....

Answer 2

I started in a quiet park that had drives running through it. Country roads are also an excellent place.

Answer 3

If you are just starting, try a parking lot or long quiet country road. If you are past this, at least go to a somewhat quiet side street in your neighborhood. Whatever you do try and stay away from the main roads until you are experienced enough.

Answer 4

Start in a large empty parking lot on a Sunday morning.....like a big mall or office complex. There is lots of empty space, plenty of ways to turn left and right, and in office complexes, usually some small roads to follow around. That's how I started my son out!

parking lots good for learning to turn and park, getting the feel of driving. Then move on to low traveled roads before hitting busy streets and highways to gain confidence.
