    Make sure your doors are securely latched as part of your pre-trip, you can't afford another preventable

    Those incidents are pretty minor. You absolutely need to drive with enough care to never ever touch anything else. IMO, lots of new drivers seem to think having a ready excuse for each incident is just as good as having a clean record. THAT'S NOT TRUE. If you can't see, stop and look before proceeding.
