What's the best way to get into the right mindset for driving?

TheDruidWizard

I find that I focus on the exterior of the car, my surroundings and observations, I drive really well.

However when I was trying to practice breaking more gently and smoothly, then my attention is more internally on what the car is doing. Although I may break better, then my observations and overall driving suffers.

Ideally, you shouldn't think about it. It should be more like walking. When you walk down the shops or anywhere else. You're focused on where you're going and observing the surrounds and obstacles around you (such as other people and traffic). You don't think about lifting your legs and trying to remember to put on foot in front of the other or correct your balance.

You just do it.


So what's the best way to get into this form of mindset for driving?

Just practice - you will think about it less and less the more you do it. But you're better of knowing your surroundings that braking a bit too harshly
