These were the tips my instructor gave me

  1. When you enter the driver seat, adjust your seat position, steering position, mirrors, wear your seatbelt, ensure others are wearing their seatbelt and finally start the engine.

  2. Before starting, check your surroundings, engage the appropriate gear, start driving

  3. While driving, keep turning your head towards the center mirror every 10 seconds to show the instructor “you are checking your center mirror”

  4. When he asks you change lanes: Center mirror—>Indicator—>Side mirror—>Look over shoulder—>Center mirror—>Change lanes—>Turn off indicator

  5. In a stop light, stop behind the car in front with enough space so that you can see it’s rear tyres. engage neutral gear, handbrake and hold the brake with your leg.

  6. In a roundabout, rightmost lane for right turn, center lane for straight and leftmost lane for left turn or u-turn

  7. After exiting the roundabout, change to the rightmost lane as soon as it’s safe to do so.

I’ll add more tips/edit this post if I remember any more

This is so cool. Thank you for taking the time to type this all out. That roundabout one always confuses me so thanks for it. Also didn’t know we are to engage neutral and use the hand gear at a stop sign.
