How can you tell when new drivers are becoming more skilled?

New drivers becoming more skilled can be indicated by their ability to make fewer mistakes, such as running wide on turns. This improvement reflects a better understanding of vehicle control, spatial awareness, and the ability to gauge the dimensions of their car in relation to the road and other obstacles. As drivers practice and gain experience, they refine their skills in maneuvering their vehicle effectively, which is essential for safe driving.

While the frequency of freeway driving, nighttime driving preferences, or receiving compliments from other drivers may suggest some level of comfort or confidence behind the wheel, they do not necessarily equate to an improvement in driving skill. The key indicator of skill development is the reduction of errors during the driving process, which directly impacts safety and responsiveness on the road.
