New drivers can frequently fall at either end of a particularly wide spectrum. To the left, meet Mr. Confident, ready to drive at the age of nine and a prodigy of car loving folks, Mr. Confident wants to drive fast and imagines that he can handle any car his folks can buy him.

To the right, it’s Mr. Meek, a guy who would likely prefer the 2 hour bus ride but who is fortunate enough to have access to a vehicle.

Both these newly licensed drivers require the same priorities in a vehicle, a safe and sturdy car with minimum potential of break down and minimum burn on the pocket when it comes to repairs and petrol costs.

Most people have a favourite car manufacturer and an opinion about what makes for a trustworthy auto-mobile. ‘Reliable’ is the main consideration when it comes to a vehicle for an amateur driver. ‘Economy’ is the 2nd most important consideration.

New cars drop in price as soon as they leave the lot. A recommendation is to go, if you can, for a car that has had one decent owner and not a huge amount of mileage put on the clock. Finding a car like this may take a bit of patience. Keep your eye on the classifieds and contact the most reputable used car dealers in your area.

If you are lucky you may strike upon a car that has been made ‘like new’ by the mechanic of a used car lot. It might not pick up the ladies but hopefully if you’re buying for a teen, just having a car is going to mean a boost in street cred.

If this is your first car and you have just passed your test, ask your friends and family what they recommend in a car and what they think are the safest and easiest cars to drive. Ignore Uncle Bob when he tells you it’s an Aston Martin.

Even if you live in a mild climate, there is certain safety and comfort aspects of your car that you will want to take care of as winter dawns upon us.

If you live in an area that experiences snow, ice, fog and lots of rain in the winter, make absolutely sure your car has the appropriate tires. We cannot stress enough the need for chains in snow and perfect treads in rain, sleet or ice.Car tires are the most important safety feature for your winter driving but also check other parts of your car and get anything that needs attention repaired at the end of the summer, so you will be ready when the winter comes.

Ensure that your windscreen wipers work and that the rubber does not squeak.

Buy some antifreeze do not scrimp on it put the right amount in your radiator not just a little bit to top up your radiator. It does not take much of a frost to crack your radiator, but it costs a lot to have a new one fitted.

Nights and even days are darker in winter so there is much more reason to be sure that your light work. Include your fog lights in your monthly light check and carry a full set of spare bulbs and fuses, so you never end up travelling without a full set of working lights.

Put some blankets in the boot of your automobile it pays to have emergency supplies when you are making a major journey. Not only can a blanket keep you warm if you get marooned or your heating breaks down you can also use a blanket to get you out of trouble. In snow a blanket in front of your tyres can offer enough grip for you to get going again and save you hours waiting for a breakdown truck.

General engine upkeep is important all year, but especially important during the winter. Make sure your car is in good working order and that you have breakdown cover particularly if your car is unreliable, nobody wants to stand in the December rain or snow trying to hitch a lift.

Change the oil on a regular basis and confirm that you have got enough water in your radiator. Being prepared for winter is easy, kit out your auto as soon as you can.

It’s a recognised curiosity that passing your driving test in the USA is pretty easy and if you can breathe and you have a heartbeat, there’s every chance they’ll hand you your driving license on a golden platter.

Driving tests do vary from state to state in the US, but most will include a multiple choice exam (approximately 50 questions) and then a short driving test. Often the actual driving tests will be in a car park or will consist of a two mile jaunt up and down a simple road.

If you ask an American how they pasted their test, most will admit, that they slept through some driver education videos, were accompanied by an instructor for a few hours of practical road time and then took a test on their 16th birthday which was very easy to pass. Nobody actually knows just why the US driving test is so easy but there are several theories.

The most well liked theory on why the driving test in the US is so simple is that people are only sixteen when they take their test so it has to be simple enough for a kid to get through. But that isn’t a particularly creative speculation.

Most Americans take their test in an automatic car which requires less skill in the long term so the test is easier. In the UK people who cannot pass a test in a manual car will often fly through their test in an automatic car.

Roads are wider and straighter in the USA so if people commute it’s usually a straightforward journey requiring only limited driving skills. This means that even in states where the driving test is a little more taxing it is still easy to pass it and drive once you have done so.

However, in the past few years driving tests have become a little more troublesome to pass and in some states you are required to take a safety education course and have a provisional license for 6 months before you are allowed to take the test and obtain a full license. This means driving with supervision for that half a year.
