hmm... its surprising how many of those i already do! 8/9 = 89%
watch your hands -- i use the manual overdrive.. only 1 hand on the wheel
side windows -- always down, if i need air i always open the back two or the sunroof
lock your doors -- the car automatically locks the doors when you shift out of park
Back in -- i messed up my passenger side mirror once trying to back out of my driveway (tight space, had to get between a rock wall and mom's jeep). Also, my mom once backed into a car pulling out of our blind driveway, causing a lot of $ in damages. After those experiences i learned to always back into a spot so pulling out is simpiler.
Back up -- when i had my permit and was first learning to drive, my dad had me drive in reverse around my cousin's neighborhood. they live on a cul-de-sac and the area is very remote. assignment was to always stay withing 6-12 inches of the curb. drove in reverse for about an hour.
Right Foot Only -- learned to drive that way
The Fog Line -- dad taught me this trick when back when i had my permit and was out driving in the night (without the instructer) for the first time.
Lights Down -- my gf has me dim my lights in the car b/c it "looks nicer" ...
... its become a habit and they are now always dimmed.
Final Tip -- yes yes ... always
, feel that I am an excellent driver in any sort of performance-requiring situation.
