- #10 *Get proper training…or at least be observant - Learn from reputable driving schools (e.g., A1)*Drivingis dynamic and it could greatly vary. Learn from the certified trainers and/or from other drivers (what you miss from dozing off during class could be learned from other good drivers – surprisingly, including jeepney drivers)
- #11 *Handling. Is it stable? Can it make a quick turn?*Speed and acceleration is essential in overtaking*Test ABS if you can. Ask your dealer during test drives.
- #12 BLOW BAG (battery, lights, oil, water (radiator), brakes, air (tires), gas)There is also BLOW FATCH (fuel/fluids (steering and braking, etc), accessories (air conditioner, electronics like audio, rear parking assists, etc), tools (early warning devices), cleanliness, horn – in New Delhi one only needs either horn (to honk at cars) and lights
