My driving skills

I've driven to work for almost a week already. But my skills still need to be improved.

(1) Sometimes I almost reach people's butt already then only start braking.
(2) When I cut lane I always can't see those motorists coming (or maybe they speed?). Everyday almost bang them and always got horned by the motorists.
(3) When I reverse I seldom notice people walking behind my car.


Despite all these, I've improved some skills though.
(1) If there's no motorcycle between the car queues, cutting lanes is easy
(2) My car is manual. So stopping on a slope was hard. Now I find it easy. Can even use the clutch to balance the car on slope.
