busy driving road back

Most new drivers avoid rush hour, but it’s one of the best ways to develop real-world traffic management skills. Heavy traffic teaches patience, gap selection, and how to anticipate stop-and-go conditions.

Instead of avoiding congestion, new drivers should train themselves to stay calm, read traffic flow, and use gradual acceleration and braking to keep movement smooth. Learning these habits early prevents future anxiety in high-pressure driving.

I agree to learning in traffic but not at the beginning. First you must develop the basics and control of all car control elements long long before you are thrown into traffic. Struggling to position the car or steer around a fast corner is NOT FUN WHILE IN TRAFFIC.

Are you training in controlled conditions, or in real-world traffic?
