The Importance of Refreshing Your Driving Knowledge Every Few Years

The United States Department of Transportation estimates about 20 million car accidents every year. These accidents will occur because one driver has fallen out of practice and is not up to date with recent changes in traffic laws or knows how to react when faced with an emergency on the road. This article will give you pointers for refreshing your driving knowledge to stay safe on the roads. All of our drivers are licensed and receive annual driving education and training to improve their driving skills in the mountains of Colorado.

To Stay Up-to-Date on the Latest Rules and Regulations

The best way to refresh your driving knowledge is to keep up with the latest changes in traffic laws. Check your state’s website for information on updates, or sign up for a defensive driving course that will teach you about the new rules.

You can take the course from your home computer, so you don’t have to go anywhere. The best part? Most of these classes are free or low-cost. You can keep studying by taking the free permit tests; you can find out more about these when you search online. You can also attend a driver safety seminar in person, watch online videos, or read articles about different scenarios you may encounter on the road. By being proactive about your driving knowledge, you can be confident that you will pass with flying colors when it comes time to take your test.

To Gain Fresh Insights into Techniques and Strategies

Defensive driving techniques can help reduce your risk of being involved in an accident. Defensive driving includes staying alert while driving, using caution when changing lanes, and obeying traffic laws. It’s important to realize that being defensive while driving is not the same as being impatient or reckless.

Many different defensive driving courses can teach you how to handle road rage incidents, deal with hazardous weather conditions, and stay safe around large trucks. You can also learn about new technology available in cars these days, like backup cameras and blind-spot sensors.

It will help you prepare for anything that comes your way. For example, if you know what to do when someone cuts you off in traffic, you’ll be less likely to get angry and more likely to stay safe on the road.

It’s also a good idea to practice these skills in a safe environment, like an empty parking lot. This will help you feel more comfortable with them before using them out on the open road.

To Improve Your Skills Behind the Wheel

Another way to refresh your driving knowledge is by practicing. Learning and applying new skills will take time, so don’t get frustrated if you make mistakes when trying new techniques. If there are certain areas where you need improvements, like parallel parking or emergency braking maneuvers, try taking a driver safety course at the DMV or online.

Many people say that once they learn how to drive a stick shift, it improves their ability on automatic vehicles to be more comfortable while behind the wheel.

Help Increase Confidence While Driving

Driving refresher courses can help increase your confidence behind the wheel. It is easy to become nervous when you’re unsure if you are doing something correctly or expect it to be in certain situations. Taking a refresher course will allow you to learn new skills and remember old ones that may have slipped away over time. It is also helpful for anyone who has not been driving long term, like teenagers learning how to drive, older people who need their license renewed every few years, or even those who want some extra training during a vacation at home. It would be best if you never assumed that your knowledge of safe practices on the road was perfect. Always take advantage of opportunities such as these to know what’s expected of you while still staying relaxed and confident enough about your driving skills.

Experience was simply fantastic! The driver showed up punctually for our Red Rocks show and even waited for us despite the rain. He promptly picked us up afterwards. The 10 person luxury Van comfortably accommodated 8 of us. I am confident in recommending InterMountain Express Van and would definitely use their Red Rocks shuttle services again. I am grateful for making my son's birthday an unforgettable one. Thanks to the InterMountain Express rocks limo.

Our connecting flight from Denver --> Aspen was cancelled and InterMountain Express got us to Snowmass last-minute during snowy conditions. The Suburban was impeccable, outfitted with snow tires, and was more than enough space for may family of five and all our ski gear. We had to pay an added premium for the last-minute service - it is my understanding that pre-planned trips rand for 1/2 the cost - but it was an expense well worth it to get my family safely to our resort and on the slopes on schedule the following day.

Excellent service that is consistently reliable and on schedule. I've been using Ringo as my driver to the Denver International Airport for the past five years, and I heartily recommend him to all of my friends and family. So, if you ever find yourself in the Denver region and require trustworthy quality service, I highly recommend that you get in touch with Intermountain Express Limo service.

Such great service! Arrived early and assisted with carrying and loading baggage. The driver was very nice and provided us with tips for navigating the Denver Airport. All passengers felt extremely comfortable in the car and with the driver. So much better than a shuttle service!

I was very pleased with the service of InterMountain Express. They arrived on time and communication made the process so easy. Our driver Elze was great. After scrambling to get a new flight because our flight had been cancelled, it was so nice to relax for the drive to Vail. I will definitely use InterMountain again and will recommend them to others.
