Driving is an important and crucial skill for many people, though it takes time to master. It is suggested learners go through around 40-50 lessons on average before being in a good position to pass their test.
When you are behind the wheel, it is vital you are concentrated and focussed on the task at hand, because car crashes are, unfortunately, all too common and one slip up could have tragic consequences.
Given this, most drivers want to make sure they take precautions to make sure they keep themselves and others safe while they are on the road, Wales Online reports.
Everyone should make sure their seat is in the correct position so they can control their vehicle, with some people opting for booster seats to give themselves the best view of the road. Others use driving gloves for better grip on the wheel.
One of the external factors that can impact a person's ability to drive is the weather. When driving in the rain, motorists should drive a bit slower and leave longer gaps to the vehicles in front, as it can take almost twice as long to come to a stop on wet roads.
On the other end of the scale, when it is sunny - a rarity in Scotland, we know - drivers want to keep their sun out of their eyes so they can fully focus on the roads.
The majority of cars have a sun visor that can be flipped down at the top of the windscreen to give some coverage from the glare. Sometimes, however, that isn't enough and motorists opt for a pair of sunglasses.
While this seems like a normal thing to do for many drivers, research from car and vehicle financing company CarMoney revealed sunglasses were one of seven common items of clothing or accessories that could see motorists hit with a whopping £5,000 fine for wearing.
