Top Mistakes New Drivers Make In Kuwait- And How To Avoid Them

Driving in Kuwait for the first time can be an exciting yet challenging experience, particularly for new residents and those who are beginners. Understanding the local road culture, traffic rules, and roundabout systems can take time. Unfortunately, many new drivers repeat the same mistakes, but the good news is that these can be avoided with proper guidance and expert driving education.

At Al Rashid Indian Driving School in Kuwait, we’ve helped hundreds of students overcome these challenges with confidence. Here are the top mistakes new drivers make — and how to avoid them:

⸻

The Mistake: Many beginners enter roundabouts without choosing the correct lane or fail to give way to vehicles already inside.
Avoid It:
Learn to assess traffic before entering. Give way to vehicles already inside the roundabout and make sure you are in the correct lane before you enter. Our instructors teach practical techniques with real-life examples on roundabout driving.

⸻

The Mistake: Drifting between lanes or changing lanes without signaling can confuse other drivers and lead to accidents.
Avoid It:
Stay in your lane, use turn signals to inform others, and check mirrors before making a lane shift. At Al Rashid, we train students with lane discipline exercises on both city roads and highways.

⸻

The Mistake: Some learners either become too nervous or overly confident behind the wheel. Both can lead to dangerous situations.
Avoid It:
Don’t be nervous, practice Daily, and listen to your instructor. Our expert driving education focuses on building your confidence gradually through personalized lessons.

⸻

The Mistake: Failing to observe stop signs, speed limits, or no-entry warnings is common for beginners.
Avoid It:
Know your signs. Al Rashid offers theoretical sessions to familiarize you with every important road sign used in Kuwait.

⸻

The Mistake: New drivers often forget to check side and rearview mirrors regularly.
Avoid It:
Make mirror-checking a habit. Our instructors will train you to monitor traffic behind and beside you as a routine part of driving.

⸻

The Mistake: Dependence on navigation apps can distract you from the actual road.
Avoid It:
Use GPS for reference, but focus on road signs and situational awareness. With our Kuwait-specific route training, you’ll get familiar with real routes, landmarks, and shortcuts.
