With the coming of the motor car at the end of the last century a new era in personal transport was born. The early motorist certainly had his problems- the biggest one being whether his vehicle would start or not. This problem has almost disappeared today but others have taken its place. More traffic and faster vehicles mean that, however safe and reliable a car may be, its driver has to have more greater driving skill than ever before. Today's drivers cannot neglect their own direct and personal responsibility for the accidents that happen on the road every year. A good driver has many things in his make- up. Some of them , such as experience and skill, will come only in time , but others - just as important - must be part of him from the start. These qualities are a sense of responsibility for the safety of others, a determination to focus on the job of driving, patience and courtesy. Together, these become what is generally known as the drivers' attitude. Everyone is patient (16) nature or gifted with good (17) of concentration. But because attitude is important a part of safe driving, Therefore every driver must make a real effort to develop these qualities and this effort must start from the very beginning of the first driving lesson.
